every morning i wake up and make the worst possible time management decisions anyone has ever made

@NotRudeBro @BlakersAdam @uncle_deluge Maybe the poster refers to the Principality of Theodoro, which fell in 1475 and represents the last remnant of the Roman Empire.

man i'm depressed, i wonder if laying in my bed on my phone all day will help

@gmac4247 If physical experiments are critically flawed, then why did you conduct one?
Of course they are insufficient to determine π to more than the first few decimal places, but the precision to determine whether it’s 3.200 or 3.141… is definitely achievable. Spoiler: it’s not 3.2

[Der ProEric @DerProEric]

@gmac4247 Use a cylinder and determine the diameter with a calliper gauge. Be careful to measure an exactly horizontal cross-section.
Importantly, include error intervals on all measurements! To make a convincing point, π=3.1415.. should be outside the error interval.
Good luck 😉
(2/2)

@gmac4247 If you want to credibly challenge a belief held for thousands of yours, you need to be more precise and eliminate all doubt. I wouldn’t use a sphere at all. Like I said, the circumference of a circle has a more favourable scaling in r. Measure it and divide by the radius. (1/2)

[Der ProEric @DerProEric]

@gmac4247 If you did the experiment properly and in good faith, you’d get a value of pi close to the real value.
In principle, measurements of circumference would be a better way to establish pi, since r only enters in the first power and the result would therefore be less sensitive. (3/3)

[Der ProEric @DerProEric]

@gmac4247 The way you measured it is way too imprecise, especially since you want to distinguish between π=3.1415… and „π=3.2“.
3. instead of refilling the bottle, why not weigh the water? This would give a quantifiable result that allows for direct calculation of pi. (2/?)

theoretical physics is the study of where did the minus sign go

[Der ProEric @DerProEric]

@fitsmoothguy @fabidivani Probably waxed or potentially lasered

@MilitSt @eikonique It’s okay, you’re forgiven 💜

[Der ProEric @DerProEric]

@MilitSt @eikonique Girl the sample is from Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!, not Lay All Your Love On Me

[Der ProEric @DerProEric]

@Siddharth8850 @memecrashes It’s not because the integral is indefinite. It would actually be the error function erf() plus a constant.

@CsabaSzekely7 @TerribleMaps WTF is that map?? The America east coast and Brazil weren’t British in 1820?? Looks like cheap AI slop

snoopy tuning in tn 🤭 happy severance day

[Der ProEric @DerProEric]

@bsilone @TerribleMaps Maybe that’s because grok is stupid as shit?
It literally takes five seconds to search the internet for a map of Bhutan’s districts. Jeez use your brain
