There is no way the design took two years and required supercomputers
The math is so complex that research into Pringles with ridges was considered a national secret and it was classified. DARPA was rumored to have provided partial funding.
Like Velcro and GPS, Pringle research came straight out of the US military-industrial complex, as a byproduct of the flying saucer research conducted at Area 51.
It took 3 seconds, and it was AI what figured it all out.
AI doesn’t figure out shit.
Lol, you’re both wrong. AI absolutely can assist, and sometimes be the main part in finding patterns/discoveries, but in the case of the hyperbolic plane, it was created by humans.

Exactly. The figuring out part is a human interpretation of the finding. No machine learning model of the current tech can reliably tell you if it found something new.
With the stuff about ‘super computers’, this seems more like a shitpost than a science meme.
Completely leaves out that you can use two of them to make yourself look like a duck
What “supercomputer” did they use in 1968 to make the chip shape when Pringles were invented?
Edit:
My digging around has resulted in this find:
ENIAC was built in 1945. And Cray was building supercomputers in the 60s
I understand that there were “supercomputers” for the day, but I don’t think they called them that. They were just computers. I want to know exactly which one was used to design a reconstituted potato chip.
My digging around has resulted in this find:
Personally, it always decreased satisfaction that it breaks unpredictably, because I’d get crumbs everywhere. In particular, the shape also hinders putting them far enough into your mouth to catch the crumbs.
Definitely prefer chips which are just sliced potatoes. Them being a naturally grown structure makes them unpredictable enough for my taste.No, the shape hinders putting the far enough into your mouth. Luckily, I’ve got a big one.
Wait…
I was fitting a whole upside down Pringle along my tongue when I was a kid.
This meme is wrong and likely based on a Reddit post that is itself wrong.
“TIL that in the '50s P&G used a supercomputer for designing Pringles…”
The only source I found referencing pringles association with a supercomputer was a 2007 article with this sentence:
Pringles potato chips are designed using [supercomputing] capabilities – to assess their aerodynamic features so that on the manufacturing line they don’t go flying off the line," said Dave Turek, vice president of deep computing at IBM.)
Pringle’s didn’t exist until 1968. Why would they waste a decade’s worth of supercomputing time (per the Reddit post that they were designed in the “‘50s using a supercomputer”) to design a potato chip?
It does not state that the chips were designed in ‘68 with a supercomputer. It directly states that “today’s supercomputers”…”are creating potato chips”, so their current design was done that way for the purposes of expedited manufacturing processes.
The Reddit posts even links to the article stating that the reference for supercomputer usage in Pringle’s design is modern.
Also abot 10-15% of thr chips crumble at the bottom to cushion the rest of the pringles
The Supermarine Spitfire.
The London Metro map design.
The Pringles potato chip.It’s an all-sided showel for sauce, yum.
They should be smaller though, so they fit in one piece into the mouth withouth hurting yourself.
Error 429
You’re goddamn right!
But they couldn’t make them taste good. Just vut some potatoes you dorks.
