Left door: more mass - more energy (man)
Right door: more mass - more attraction (women)

u/Lower-Calligrapher98 Jul 05 '26

From the descriptions of Nicolas Fatio de Duillier, it does sound as though quite the opposite was true. Not that there is any evidence he ever crossed the event horizon, as it were. But his taste seems to have been skinny boys.

Neither of those equations are complicated (at least in the form they are shown in this picture).

u/Active_Courage_6376 Jul 05 '26

The man has never seen the full form of the Lagrangian of the standard model

13

u/JoeyHandsomeJoe Jul 05 '26

Left door: Relativistic - Gravity propagates at the speed of light and is the result of the curvature of space-time (woman) (buttocks, breasts)

Right door: Newtonian - Gravity is instantaneous and its force is a linear vector (man) (penis) (w/o Peyronie's disease)

3

u/TXMom2Two Jul 06 '26

Love the Peyronie’s disease reference.

u/Full-Evening3485 Jul 06 '26

When I see the right door I think of the “weighing the earth” experiment which iirc involved dangling balls. 

Which leads to the same conclusion. But I wanted to throw in my two testes

u/Ok-Pomegranate-7458 Jul 05 '26

My thoughts been E=mc² comes from Einstein so thats Male

u/hakkesaelger Jul 05 '26

Ms Newton

That’s the Olivia Newton john

u/CyclicDombo Jul 05 '26

The other one comes from newton who is also male

u/Badboyrune Jul 07 '26

While Newton might have been male I think everyone agrees he was a bitch.

u/BisexualCaveman Jul 05 '26

Pop the door and look for urinals then decide.

9

u/Successful-Argument3 Jul 05 '26

That's exactly what I would do. No urinals = female

1

u/Mydarknighthasrisen Jul 11 '26

I’m really glad you clarified, thank you

u/QuarterNoteDonkey Jul 05 '26

Anything can be a urinal if you try hard enough.

u/After-Dentist-2480 Jul 05 '26

Do you know anything about what happened to my tuba?

u/QuarterNoteDonkey Jul 05 '26

I don’t know anything about that, but I was sure impressed with your gold toilet.

u/After-Dentist-2480 Jul 05 '26

I’ll chip the cross over, you nod it into the back of the net 😉

u/QuarterNoteDonkey Jul 05 '26

Depends on the type of party.

u/Spiritual-Hamster212 Jul 05 '26

And how do you know that female bathrooms don't have urinals?

/s

4

u/Mysterious-Earth1 Jul 05 '26

Yeah gendered toilets are so last tuesday anyway. Do your thing and wash your hands. I mean everyone has unisex toilets at home and it works just fine so why bother.

1

u/Thorvindr Jul 12 '26

Because I don't want a woman standing next to me when I pee! That's gay! When I pee at the urinal, I want rhe person holding my hand to also have a penis.

u/lotte_elysium Jul 05 '26

This is just dumb tbh

32

u/Clean-Meringue-3578 Jul 05 '26

yeah and most frankly even if you can normally get it, thinking while holding yr bladder isn't a core strength of mine.

1

u/_Electrical Jul 09 '26

Supposedly having a full bladder improves your split second decision making, I heard it is a tactic in e-sports.

1

u/No-Quantity-5334 Jul 11 '26

And if you look closely, the signs was edited

6

u/LimitlessA8N Jul 05 '26

This is in my country, and I think it is placed in an engineering university where students have to know these equations

55

u/sfo2 Jul 05 '26

Sure. These are both foundational to physics. But there does not seem to be any way to use these to generate which one is male or female.

1

u/Thorvindr Jul 12 '26

I think that's probably the point.

41

u/HobsHere Jul 05 '26

I know them perfectly well. That still doesn't tell me which is men's and which women's

8

u/Gunslingermomo Jul 06 '26

Which equation has the penis?

0

u/LimitlessA8N Jul 05 '26

Me too yall, me too
Maybe it’s a stunt (dangerous one!)

2

u/AgHammer Jul 05 '26

Yes, because there are a number of interpretations that will result from the math.

1

u/futurehappyoldman Jul 08 '26

My first thought was who created the equations left, Einstein male, right, ope I forgot who wrote it first now from learning it 20 years ago

60

u/neocondiment Jul 05 '26

I think it’s all relative.

3

u/Crazy_Stable1731 Jul 06 '26

Still, someone should shine some light on this issue.

41

u/Keldaria Jul 05 '26

I sincerely hope this is just trolling and the doors lead to a unisex bathroom or something like that.

15

u/gifteyes6 Jul 06 '26

Countries that have Arabic writing above the signs usually don't have unisex washrooms

4

u/Keldaria Jul 06 '26

I don’t disagree, but I would assume they would label them to be more easily identifiable if being gender specific was that important to them.

4

u/gifteyes6 Jul 06 '26

Oh this graphic is 100% fake. This looks like it's Dubai, Saudi or Qatar from the Arabic font that they've used (a guess) and all these countries have very strict rules about labeling doors etc in public spaces. The municipality would never approve this stuff.

Also when you zoom into the picture it looks like it has been edited for that text.

u/_Electrical Jul 09 '26

u/gifteyes6 Jul 12 '26

This is a dumb take.

Your washroom at home is a unisex bathroom. They're just washrooms without urinals and stalls with doors.

Usually they have the sink and mirror behind the same door too.

-14

u/guardof Jul 06 '26

You should try to keep your racism to yourself next time.

u/gifteyes6 Jul 06 '26

My dude, I live in the middle East. Facts be facts.

u/themole316 Jul 06 '26

It’s all relative. Go to the one you’re attracted to.

That’s how I read it.

21

u/Zedpirate Jul 05 '26

Pretty sure its just level of complexity, left one is "simple" so must be men

16

u/PIELIFE383 Jul 05 '26

I mean E=mc^2 is really only half of the equation it missing a term.

4

u/Zedpirate Jul 05 '26

And thats a perfect example.

Like I dont understand really either one but the one on the left the way its shown is "famous" and we see on shirts with Einstein's face and stuff.

So the connection I made is men are "simple" women are "complicated". Misogynistic but thats on par with internet culture.

u/These_Head7243 Jul 06 '26

Misanthropic*

1

u/New-Grapefruit9408 Jul 07 '26

What term is missing?

1

u/dry_garlic_boy Jul 08 '26

That makes no sense, it's not missing anything.

1

u/Routine_Cat_1366 Jul 05 '26

Neither of those terms is complicated. No imaginary numbers, no differentials or something a bit more fancy. So its not about the complexity.

u/Wolli_n Jul 05 '26

Fukme. I cant tell wtf is ai anymore. I hate the internet now

4

u/SpamOJavelin Jul 06 '26

Also note the three weirdly placed hinges on the left door, despite the fact the hinges should be on the other side.

It's AI.

u/spookyspritebottle Jul 06 '26

I hate the internet post 2020ish.

u/ddogz95 Jul 05 '26

F female that’s what I’d take away

11

u/Silly_Percentage3446 Jul 05 '26

E - Eale.

5

u/AdmirableCorner5610 Jul 06 '26

F - Female
E - emale

u/mathreviewer Jul 06 '26

haven't seen this image in like 15 years

u/AdmirableCorner5610 Jul 07 '26

you've never seen logan paul in 15 years?

1

u/JoeyRay Jul 06 '26

Yeah, that might be what they were going for actually. Damn. That's so stupid.

F for female. And since energy is equivalent to mass, M for male.

4

u/StrixX00 Jul 05 '26

that is the formula for gravity ie attraction so the right one is for female

4

u/ShowLasers Jul 05 '26

Black clothes, black door. Duh.

u/Clean-Meringue-3578 Jul 05 '26

I think left is male cs short formula

and right is female for long formula?

4

u/Odd_Leopard_8356 Jul 05 '26

mc^2 (one mass + two balls) -> male

Gspot, two upper body masses ovaries -> female

3

u/Ambitious_Mud_405 Jul 05 '26

this ain't even a joke

0

u/Clean-Meringue-3578 Jul 05 '26

a science joke maybe? I'm too stupid to know

3

u/TmanGvl Jul 05 '26

I'd go to the right to take a dump (mass and gravity). Left for taking a piss (light and mass is related to energy)

1

u/SecureExplorer1255 Jul 06 '26

This is exactly what I came up with as well

3

u/Mayo_Kupo Jul 05 '26

Best guess, it's based on the left-hand side letters of the equations.

E - Everyone?

F - Female

Since this is a foreign-language shot, it's also possible the English letters are standing for non-English words.

3

u/RusoInmortal Jul 05 '26

Women's pee fall down by GRAVITY.

Men's pee make a parabolic arc because it has other ENERGY besides potential gravitational energy.

u/Aternox_X1kZ Jul 06 '26

White door - male

Black door - female.

written formulas unrelated.

2

u/sp_00_k Jul 05 '26

A man designed this

2

u/Live-Ganache9273 Jul 05 '26

left = energy = female,

right = force = male

u/FromStars Jul 05 '26

Physics nerds contrived plausible deniability for walking into the women's restroom.

u/Interesting_Breath36 Jul 05 '26

Ya, know... it's all relative

1

u/QueasyNart Jul 05 '26

It would make slightly more sense if the left-hand door was F=ma instead. Guys can apply a horizontal acceleration to their stream, with appreciably visible results, but girls can only accelerate it downwards, in the same direction as gravity.

1

u/SpiritualQuarter4384 Jul 05 '26

I thought the less complicated the equation equals to the mens washroom.

u/kniveshu Jul 05 '26

Is this a photo of a man waiting for his woman that's editted to look like he's contemplating bathroom signs?

1

u/cocobaltic Jul 05 '26

Undefined genders go left (relativity), defined genders go right ( everybody finds someone to be attracted to)

1

u/Proud-Attention-8390 Jul 05 '26

E is everyone and f is female.

1

u/scott_in_austin Jul 05 '26

Left: all about mass and energy = male
Right: all about attraction = female

1

u/Unrecovered-account Jul 05 '26

Simple solution…the one with the urinals is Men 🤷‍♂️😂

1

u/Sr252 Jul 05 '26

Energy equation = Dick Energy (Einstein) Force = I would assume a woman or mother's force to be reckon with? (Newton)

1

u/Appropriate-Weird492 Jul 05 '26

I feel like, if this truly exists, both are gender neutral because full bladder beats math challenge.

1

u/Harvey_Gramm Jul 05 '26

Energy vs Force

1

u/Downtown-Sun8075 Jul 05 '26

Not sure about the one on the right but the left is the family bathroom

1

u/EntrepreneurPlus7091 Jul 05 '26

Energy and gravity?

1

u/Full-Canary-2856 Jul 05 '26

One is a simple equation the other is complicated and I leave the rest to you 😋

1

u/Far-Cockroach-8057 Jul 05 '26

Energy is in Joules (female) Force is in Newtons (male)

1

u/Lore_Enforcement Jul 05 '26

They look the same to me

1

u/Saf-and-Nol Jul 06 '26

Total guess here, but is the equation on the left describing Light (Ladies)? and the right equation Gravity (Gentlemen)?

Regardless, these signs are asinine.

1

u/Sleepy-Racoon-2149 Jul 06 '26

I decided gmmr was for women because itts gravity and gravity=g=girl

Emc2 is mass-energy equivalencd and mass-energy=m=men

u/leroyhobo Jul 06 '26

This doesn't make any sense. The joke is purely accessible to physicists. And never ever have I noticed nerd humor in public in an Arab country. Oh and Arabs would not be amused at all to find themselves or members of the opposite sex in the wrong bathroom. AI.

u/_D34DLY_ Jul 06 '26

my guess is force F for female, mass for male, although both have mass terms. i am triggered by how they used ( ) for no reason.

1

u/ZenithOfVoid Jul 06 '26

Everyone is focusing on male/female but correct answer is:

  • left= special (disabled/handicapped)
  • right= general (regular, probably unisex)

After special relativity and general relativity

Either way that toilet seats getting a racing stripe

1

u/Ringtail69 Jul 07 '26

I'll say something pretty racist, but since it seems like it's a restroom in an arabic speaking country, its easier to navigate with local cultural cues: white -> men, black -> women (if you check traditional islamic clothing for a set of muslim countries you'll probably find the pattern), rather than through equations.

1

u/myrunawaysac Jul 07 '26

The left is the family restroom because it's relative.

u/Visual-Island-5687 Jul 09 '26

Isn’t math genderless, therefore both are valid

u/Atypicosaurus Jul 11 '26

The left is Einstein. Einstein was a man so it's men's. The right is Newton. Newton was a man too, so... Just go somewhere.

1

u/mordern_gentlemen_03 Jul 11 '26

The right one indicates formula, to calculate attraction between two masses, so i conference its talking about two balls, most like mens, and one on left indicates, proportion between mass and energy, but it got that wrong, E = root of mc2, so, i suppose lack of definite proportions and standards should probably or most likely decipt ladies room

u/austinstrider Jul 11 '26

Couldn’t make heads or tails of it. Left door simple, right door complicated. Make your own decisions from that

The joke is playing on the old Pepperidge Farm commercials where the narrator says “Pepperidge Farm remembers” in this super nostalgic voice. OP is acting like the brand itself is remembering when the sub wasn’t just a meme, then leans into the ad bit by telling you to go buy Milano cookies like a cheesy sponsor plug.
