  Back in my early years of uni, we had one of those tests in which every question depends on the previous answer and we had to round every answer to two significant figures. For some stupid reason, a friend and I decided to also use the rounded figure when inputting the values into the next question instead of working algebraically. By the last question, we were off by like 5.

  It’s moving 1 km/s, though.

  Why, yes I am. Why? You single?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IT'S A TRAP⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Weeeell… not really. It’s pretty well settled mathematics that “cardinality” and “amount” happen to coinciden when it comes to finite sets and we use it interchangeably but that’s because we know they’re not the same thing. When speaking with the regular folk, saying “some infinities are bigger than others” is kinda misleading. Would be like saying “Did you know squares are circles?” and then constructing a metric space with the taxi metric. Sure it’s “true” but it’s still bullshit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IT'S A TRAP⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I know it seems intuitive but assuming that a property holds for n=infinity because it holds for all n<infinity would literally break math and it really doesn’t make much sense when you think about it more than a minute. Here’s an easy counterexample: n is finite.

  Oh, but all rectangles are squares if we shoehorn a non-standard metric (this comment has absolutely nothing to do with the thread and it’s just a dumb math joke).

  Funny. But that’s not how the market works.

  There’s no financial incentive big subatomic has for pretending its particles are happy, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “Frantically”. Guys, stop adscribing human features to LLMs.

  That sounds like a misconception based on the misconception that the Planck Distance is the smallest distance possible. Admittedly, I dropped out of physics 10 years ago so I might have no idea what I’m talking about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chirp in Fahrenheit⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  About half the time and an easier addition? Metric wins again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chirp in Fahrenheit⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Am I the only one who thought that was really shiny grasshopper?

  I don’t know if MAGA specifically, but it’s always been far right so…

  Yeah, but then I pull it back as I’m falling.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No brainer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on what is meant by “free gravel”, though. Given the effects of the other pills, it gives me the impression I can just summon gravel on command. In which case, I’d only have to pay for my own transportation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Say hello to Bary⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, sure, but that’d be like saying I’m pulling the earth towards me when I jump.

  Sure it is, buddy.

  It’s adorable that you think punctuation was the problem with that sentence.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨2hot2handle⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not even a coherent sentence.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨2hot2handle⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just when dealing with incels

  Aaaaaand… there it is. Careful, your incel is showing.
