Job well done

I was tempted to wear googly eyes for Halloween instead of makeup. Should have logged in before then to see this for inspiration!

Thank you!

Much less frightening indeed 😂😂 even better if they glow in the dark

Correlation doesn't equal - fuuuck!

We're violating Newton's 3rd law!!!

Oh, Occam's razor, yes, YES! Right there! Planck's Constant, harder!

One at a time, please! Form a queue.

In a similar vein, here's an extensive list of scientific discoveries that were later disproven by religion:

I don't think I want to watch the episode, though. This country has an epidemic of gun violence, and it's just too hard to think about sometimes.

Eerily familiar to what we lived through with the Vegas mass shooting in 2017.

Satire, but he's so stupid this is believable.

Today. As I said.

So basically, we owe the history of Pi to some smart mathematicians with sexy brains.

Happy Pi Day!!

But who first called it Pi? How did we land on that Greek letter to represent this irrational number? (Who here thinks irrational numbers are.... okay, I'll stop!) It was first introduced to the world of math by William Jones in 1706, and popularized by Leonard Euler in 1737.

7/8

He's probably most famous for figuring out how to calculate the area of an irregular object. But he also was the first person to accurately calculate Pi in written history. At around 250 BCE. He used some fun geometry to do it. (Who here thinks geometry is... oh, never mind)

6/8

Enter the Greeks. (Cue Grecian theme music)

Ever heard of Archimedes? He's only THE most famous mathematician of antiquity! (Who here thinks mathematicians of antiquity are sexy? Just me?)

5/8

Then there's Egypt. A papyrus from about 1650 BCE has an ancient mathematical formula for Pi (who here thinks historical math papyrus is sexy? Just me?) of 3.1605. We're getting closer

4/8

One historical ancient Babylonian mathematical tablet (who here thinks historical Babylonian math tablets are sexy? Just me?) That put the value at 3.125, which is a lot closer.

3/8

There's historical math from ancient Babylon showing that they calculated the area of a circle by taking three tmes the square of its radius, which was a value of 3.

2/8

What day is it? Is it Steak & Blowjob Day today, or is it Pi Day? Well, since I'm a scientist who believes any day could be Steak & Blowjob Day, or at the very least Blowjob Day, let's talk about Pi.

Who first discovered it, anyway?

I'm good! Trying to weather this storm of stupidity as best as I can

Yes! Axe throwing is a lot of fun!

Raise your hands if you can't stomach the sound of trump's voice and aren't watching the SOTU speech to save both your ears and your mental health! 👋

They only remember what he tells them to

So trump's criticizing the person who signed the US trade agreements with Canada and Mexico, saying "I blame our leadership for allowing it to happen," when he's the one who *checks notes* created, negotiated and signed the US-Mexico-and-Canada Trade Agreement in 2020. Am I getting this right?

Do I know you?

I'm reminded of this same time in 2017 when I chose my own sanity over being well informed for about a year. About to reach that same level again. 😫

Not at all!

There have been a few years the ski resort has had to make snow.
