    I’m curious. How long were you sitting on that?

    • fossilesque@mander.xyz ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      5 mins.

        Well it got a good laugh out of me.

  Tau isn’t real, it’s a social construct. Think about it: did you ever see tau in nature? “I have eaten tau apples” said no one ever. Face it: it’s made up by humans and isn’t real in any meaningful way

    considering that pi is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to it’s diameter, where tau is the ratio of a circles circumference to it’s radius, anywhere you see 2pi in nature, you’re seeing tau, too.

    Don’t mind me. I just like making bad math puns; so 2pi will always be better than 1. (especially around my family… quite vociferous about which pie is best. Apple, btw.)

      Don’t make this about pi! We both know tau is fake and as long as we don’t speak about pi, all is fine

        I don’t see why not. Pi is delicious, so it’s logical that 2pi is more so,

      2pi is always what you see. I don’t think there’s a situation it’s ever alone. It may look like it is sometimes, but that because it was divided by two already wherever the formula was derived from. Tau is the actual useful number, and 1/2 Tau somehow became mainstream

        Yep. I linked the Tau manefesto for any one curious. It’s a math and engineering nerd rant, though.

      you can create any number by multiplying pi by another number. Checkmate rest of the numbers

        So… is that like, an antiprime?

        (Yes, my math teacher hated me. To be fair, he cared more about coaching football. He was an awful math teacher.)

    Idk, the HL tau cannon is pretty dope

      τ is a lie by Big Τ to sell more τ

  Tau is heresy, being foul xenos and all

    People working together for the greater good? Bad.

    Space Christo-fascism? Good.

    WH40K memes are weak.

      It’s definitely fascist, absolutely nothing to do with christianity.

      Which, to be fair, doesn’t really differentiate it from christo-fascism does it

      • Deceptichum@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

        The whole thing is steeped in Christian thematics and iconography.

  honestly I think I wanna write (2*pi) every time I need tau just to avoid confusing others. Maybe make it auto-subsitute or something. But many mechanical engineers have no idea why to use tau and use 2pi instead.

  • Cethin@lemmy.zip ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

    Just use 1/2 tau anytime you need pi instead. Eventually they’ll learn.
