The idea of using how many shits one "gives" to measure how much that person cares originated with Sir Isaac Newton. He first put forth the idea in his Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, published in 1687. In it, Newton suggests that "hee that doth give a shite, knight'd shall hee be." Ivory's Constant was finally discovered by American scientist Robert Oppenheimer before he began work on the Manhattan Project. It was heralded by President Franklin Roosevelt as "a shining light for mankind," who held that "the fifth freedom is the right to not give two shits."

  • The idea of using how many shits one "gives" to measure how much that person cares originated with Sir Isaac Newton. He first put forth the idea in his Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, published in 1687. In it, Newton suggests that "hee that doth give a shite, knight'd shall hee be." After Newton, the idea was expanded by James Ivory, the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Scottish mathematician. Ivory established the Limit Theorem of Shits, which stated that there is a specific range of shits it is possible to give in order to care. Tragically, Ivory died before he could calculate what has become called "Ivory's Constant," Two Shits, in his honor. Ivory's Constant was finally discovered by American scientist Robert Oppenheimer before he began work on the Manhattan Project. It was heralded by President Franklin Roosevelt as "a shining light for mankind," who held that "the fifth freedom is the right to not give two shits."
