Mark Rober for me, seems like he wants to be Mr. Beast Lite or something lately.

Honestly, I still just google for relevant reddit threads. Lemmy’s the only place I actively participate in, but this is one of the use cases it hasn’t been able to replace reddit for for me either yet.

$1000 to someone with $100,000 is like $1,000,000 to someone with $100,000,000. To make your point you’d have to do it backwards: $1000 to someone with $100,000,000 is like $1 to someone with $100,000.

People are more than isolated tweets. He’s a man who’s made hundreds of public statements on climate change in the past, only one of which is contained in this tweet.

Bringing Harry Potter into this, the fact that they showed they do know how to do this, when Dumbledore and Voldemort fought in the 5th movie, makes it all the more annoying that almost every other fight in the series was just shooting blasts and energy beams at each other

Heat transfer works both ways - so if they feel you as cold then you’d feel them as warm. In my experience dogs usually don’t stand out to me as being particularly warm so I’d guess their fur is a good enough insulator to prevent much heat transfer during normal casual contact. It’s been a few months though, maybe I’ve just forgotten how warm the embrace of a dog is.

Plus even that isn’t enough: 10/3 has an infinite decimal expansion (in base 10 at least) too, but if π = 10/3, you’d be able to find exact circumferences. Its irrationality is what makes it relevant to this joke.

A mathematician is also perfectly happy with answers like “4π” as exact.

Plus what’s to stop you from having a rational circumference but irrational radius?

Writing this, I feel like I might have accidentally proved your point.

This but about how almost everything about Lemmy is spun as either good, or better than reddit’s equivalent.

Like the other day I saw a post about how Lemmy’s active users were on the decline, trying to claim that was somehow good for Lemmy. Or back when Lemmy had its /r/place copy, there were plenty of people saying it was better than reddit’s. Basically anything about Lemmy that’s somewhat lacking has people desperately trying to defend it as actually superior.

It borders on delusional at times. Yes Lemmy is good, but reddit is still better in dozens of ways, almost all of them related to user count. And this is coming from one of the people who deleted their reddit account and replaced it with Lemmy cold turkey - I haven’t been back there (except for porn) in almost 8 weeks.

Spinning it at 1575.42 Million RPS would create a 1575.42 MHz radio wave. That specific frequency is used by the GPS - so by doing this you’d be interfering with the reception of GPS signals, which is the illegal act you’d go to jail for here.
