The context doesn’t make a difference

In base 10 --> 1/3 is 0.333…

In base 12 --> 1/3 is 0.4

But they’re both the same number.

Base 10 simply is not capable of displaying it in a concise format. We could say that this is a notation issue. No notation is perfect. Base 10 has some confusing implications

Divide 1 by 3: 1÷3=0.3333…

Multiply the result by 3 reverting the operation: 0.3333… x 3 = 0.9999… or just 1

0.9999… = 1

Can you provide a source on that?

Japan historically has some of the most demanding work cultures in the world. This news seems wrong to me.

An icon represents what the people think it represents.

An icon can also have different meanings to different people. It’s ok if you don’t like it. But I don’t think it’s fair to say that the majority of people that use or share Pepe are from one specific ideological group

Anata no chimpo wa subarashidesu

“Your weiner is incredible”

Sutekina chinchin

“Nice dick”

Oh, what did they name it?

Archeology does not build infrastructure to make people’s lives easier but neither does any form of entertainment like Cinema, Music, Theater, Museums and others.

Medicine law and engineering are wonderful jobs, and necessary to live. But Art, History, Philosophy and Music are things we live for

It’s fine if you’re not a fan of it, but it’s quite childish to think certain things are of less value because you personally don’t like it.

Oh yeah? I have a model train behind my back, what model is it?

That’s the point though. It doesn’t matter when time travel is invented, only if it can be invented.

If time travel is possible even 10 000 years in the future someone would almost certainly show up at Hawking’s party since they have a time machine.

The fact that no one showed up it’s a reasonable argument that time travel is impossible

This kind of sad romantization of physical phenomena is weird to me.

I think romanticizing physical phenomena can be a really great tool to create a narrative and get people interested in the subject, or can just be a cool talking point about physics.

This example is pointless and kinda sad

If a photon from the sun misses the earth it will likely travel for billions of years into the void, most of them probably absorbed by random space dust. So hitting earth or hitting a human could be considered cool depending how you sell the narrative.

It’s possible to tell many different narratives. I just dislike the sad ones. There are many more cool ones

I would miss Google maps too.

I’d love a cool gimmicky phone that flips open or whatever, and has a small screen or a really bad frame rate. Just to discourage me using YouTube and social media.

I just don’t know what I would use to navigate around

Thanks for the correction. I was blinded by my hatred for Brenda. I was sure I was off by a lot but I couldn’t bother looking it up at the time

Then he turned himself into a pickle

Funniest thing I’ve ever seen

Sure, physicists can just keep track of about 5% of the universe’s mass. That’s their whole job, and they just got 5%!? Are they stupid??

Who are you to complain Brenda?! The only thing you keep track of is the amount of Oreos you have in the pantry

5% of the universe is still several trillions of tons of mass! Although I suppose a good part of that is your fat ass!

Actually firing off the middle class into the sun would do a better job in exploding it sooner

Human bad

There. Saved you a few words

Congrats guys! Really fun stuff going on the website today!

The inch is 3 grains of barley of course! At least the kind of barley they had In the 14th century. Alternatively the length of 12 poppy seeds in a line. You probably have lots of those lying around your house right?

The foot is about the size of a clown shoe, duh!

And the mile is about the length of 1000 paces from a malnourished roman soldier

Another classic case of “Scientists are bad at naming things”

Some people will spend their entire lives thinking math is stupid because of imaginary numbers.

Thinking that electrons behave differently when you “look” at them.

Think that radio towers and microwaves cause cancer because they emit radiation

Many of these are failures of the education system and to be fair scientists don’t have the power of hindsight. Still it annoys me how inefficient it is having these names

The F in Facebook is actually a reference to Fortnite
