i have a folder dedicated to "bad math memes" i made on mspaint in 2022. a friend of mine said tumblr would eat them up? but you know... i'll post one just to test the waters

[kale-slice]

a lot of people have started begging and offering their lives to me to post the rest but im not convinced y—

oh oh ok hang on i gotta i need to go get my laptop gimme a hot second

so hey, that's everything including the ones i don't like, but if you want more just ask. ive furthered my education since then so surely i could whip up something for trig or stat maybe.

thanks for liking my stupid math memes. show all the dads and tell me what they think.

what the fuck do you mean your keyboard doesnt have letters

We have no letters Kathleen!

i have naturally acidic sweat. it's a family thing

[ublock-origin]

we have already. They don't know exactly what is up with it, other than the sweat being slightly more acidic than normal and the acidic mantle being thicker and Way more acidic than normal, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with acidosis. As far as we have tested, our family has had this since at least my great grandpa, and the guy lived to be 93 years old.

Imagine trying to claim op is wasteful for using a plastic keyboard after they show off something that looks like it belongs at Old Friends Senior Keyboard Sanctuary.

[sadomarxist]

Hey! OP here! I had no idea this post was still circulating after my old blog got terminated (two or three times, I lost count)! Guess what?

10 years and still going strong! Got rid of the rest of the paint on top of the keys too.

[alinethered]

11 years and still holding up. Love your keyboard and it will love you back

[alinethered]

I regret to inform that the windows key has died. luckily i managed to assign the numpad , key as the new windows key, which does sadly mean i need to have numlock off to use it.

The Degenerate Squad

Finally done with getting them all lined up! There’s always room to improve these designs but I wanted to just get them out there and move to some other characters ✨

[mfdragon]

Really wanted to explore the idea of how he can “switch alters” visually while keeping it relatively minimal and thought about making his goggles adjustable.

So he just has 3 settings on it and each one visually looks similar to how his robot form’s eyes look.

Chick-fil-A mounts PR campaign to push back against its anti-LGBTQ+ reputation - LGBTQ Nation

The chicken chain was told to "cluck off" the last time it tried to move into the UK. This time, it hired bigger guns.

[tehjleck]

me: "have they tried not being fucking ignorant religious bigots?"

article: “I suspect that a bit of the steam has gone out of the LGBT thing,” Backman told the right-wing outlet, staying ahead of the issue. “There may be the odd protester, but if they have got armies of PR people laser-focused on that then I suspect it may be OK.”

me: no surprises there... fuck them

We go through a lot of pickles here and this recipe is a good way to use leftover brine.

[jfk-blown-away-blog]

The thing that pisses me off the most though is the fact I know so many LGBTQ+ individuals that still go there, and they are surprised when I actually don't. It's literally like that tweet.

introduction to siteswap

funny Juggling Lab gifs are all the rage lately! but if you've tried to use this ancient juggling pattern visualizer app to make some funny gifs of your own, you may be perplexed by the weird notation this thing expects you to be familiar with.

siteswap is a juggling notation system that assumes:

you are one juggler with two hands

you are juggling at a roughly constant rate, so once every "beat" either you throw a ball or all balls are currently in the air

you alternate which hand does the throw every beat

Juggling Lab allows for ways to override all of these assumptions, but for the sake of learning the basics let's stick to them for this post.

the most basic non-trivial juggling pattern is this one called 3:

(here I've set "colors = mixed" so Juggling Lab makes all the balls different colors, which makes it easier to tell what's going on.)

notice that in this pattern, the juggler throws the balls in the sequence red, green, blue. crucially, the amount of time every ball spends in the air is exactly the amount of time it takes to catch and throw two other balls.

that is what the throw "3" means in siteswap: throw a ball high enough such that you will have thrown two other balls by the time you catch this ball again.

this can be generalized to any number, although any real juggler has a hard limit to how high they can throw a ball. here's the pattern "4":

and the pattern "5":

every digit is defined the same exact way: throw the ball high enough so that you have time to catch and throw n-1 other balls by the time you catch the ball you're currently throwing.

the fun part comes from stringing together these throws into more complicated patterns! for example, here is the pattern "53":

note that this is not a pattern juggling fifty-three balls. the pattern "53" involves alternating between doing a "5" throw with one hand and doing a "3" throw with the other hand.

so, while the "4" pattern had the juggler throw the balls in the repeating cycle of red, green, blue, yellow (orange standing in for yellow here for legibility), "53" has the more complicated cycle red, green, blue, yellow, green, red, yellow, blue.

if this sounds confusing, it may be easier to work backwards from the sequence of which specific balls are thrown and work out the sequence of throws from there.

the first throw in this cycle is the red ball, and the next time the red ball is thrown is five throws later (after four other throws), so this must be a "5" throw. next is the green ball, and there are two other throws between this one and the next time the green ball is thrown in the cycle, so this is a "3" throw. doing that for the whole cycle, you can find that this is indeed a repeating "535353..." pattern.

what this means is you can start with some sequence of what order you want to throw the balls in, count how many throws there are between each time you throw a specific ball, and use that to get a valid siteswap pattern!

for example, let's say you want to throw three balls in the sequence ABCCBA. by counting gaps between throws, we can convert this into the siteswap pattern "531531" (or just "531"), which looks like this:

notice that this pattern makes use of a "1" throw, which implies the existence of a simple juggling pattern with one ball:

although this isn't quite as unimpressive looking as the "2" pattern:

this "2" throw is considered by jugglers to be so pathetic looking that by convention they don't even bother doing it when a pattern calls for it and instead just hold the ball for a beat without throwing it at all:

indeed, in Juggling Lab you have to explicitly tell it to use "2T" instead of "2" if you want the dinky little throw (actual terminology used by jugglers to describe it!) implied by the mathematics of siteswap.

anyway, those are the basics of siteswap! there's more advanced stuff that you can read about on the Juggling Lab website, but these fundamentals should be enough for you to be able to get started making funny juggling gifs. have fun!

I wanted to post about this because I know many of my mutuals are avid crafters and I don't know how much attention this endeavour is getting outside of end-of-life spaces-

The Loose Ends Project matches crafters with a project that is unfinished because of death or disability. They offer help with a spectrum of textile mediums in over 80 countries. One project I find particularly lovely: “My mom was making this octopus for me. She was 67 years old when she passed away from COPD. She was hospitalized for pulmonary rehab several times and would always take it to work on while she was there and loved to talk about it with people."

(the red heart marks the last stitch made by this person's mom) Anyway, if something like this is something you'd like to be involved in, they are always looking for more crafters <3

[the-fibre-stuff]

My favourite recent finishing project that they posted about wasn't precisely something that the crafter left unfinished. The knitter in question had had dementia, and thought she was knitting scarves. So a finisher was found to piece all the little bits of knitting together into a blanket.

Bug’s Rainy Day Fund

By Community Cat Support Network

Hi, my name is Bug! I'm just a baby, who was diagnosed with hydrocephalus almost a month ago. I came to Community Cat Support Network with my mom and siblings when I was just 16 days old after an emergency call for help. My family was in danger and needed a safe place to go.

Even before my diagnosis, everyone knew something wasn't quite right. I had already been to the veterinarian twice because I was much smaller than my littermates and wasn't developing the way a kitten my age should.
