i love it when italians argue about italian. like we don’t even know how our language really works we just roll with it

[frocio]

[iphisesque]

Italian is 107 different provincial languages stuck together with spit and half a prayer

[frogcoded]

My bf lives in another region and we are constantly arguing about regional variations of words and we both live in the fucking north of Italy

[putaemo-cional]

one time i saw a map of italy but instead of cities and roads etc it was just covered w different ways you can say the word vagina. it was covered

[frocio]

oh I can think of at least seven ways to say the word vagina right off the top of my head rn. I can’t imagine what I could do if I tried harder

this is the Italian Vagina Map, reblog to… I’m not sure actually. Can’t hurt though.

reblog to Italian season your pussy

[pythonian23]

Studying linear algebra rn and it's to freaky for me 😭

There's too much magickery, like you define a thing a certain way and suddenly it has 3 billion useful properties

I feel like calculus had carefully constructed definitions to specifically get the properties and uses you wanted but this is something completely different

KICK THE CAN!

Let’s play the biggest game of kick the can on the internet.

To kick the can, reblog it. I wanna see how long this can go on for.

[bayesic-bitch]

Imagine if astrology was real and astrophysicists realized that instead of building telescopes, you could do observations by just handing out out a ton of surveys. First detection of gravitational waves comes decades earlier in 1997, after a study of 300,000 sagitarius women finds than they break up with their boyfriends 23 minutes earlier than the cosmic baseline would suggest.

[bayesic-bitch]

Normally this would be difficult but it turns out you can use their rising sign to predict whether someone will fill out a survey or not. Virgo risings become basically the physics equivalent of a model organism.

[sevenfactorial]

I appreciate how mathematicians don't even blink at "std" be used as a shortening of "standard."

(Computer scientists get to get into this one too.)

[giantimp1]

My immediate problem was that it can be confusing with standard deviation

[pv1isalsoimportant]

You can use induction without checking the quantifier complexity of the formula in question if you're pure of heart enough.

[o-craven-canto]

Their poorly defined terms, confused principles, and sloppy thinking vs. our come on, don't be obtuse, you know perfectly well what I mean

[giantimp1]

I like listening to jazz but it does make me feel like a basic bitch about it

Sure you do math and listen to chet baker are you sure that's not performative

[pv1isalsoimportant]

The funny thing about theories of arithmetic is that no matter how many times you tell people to not get baited into taking their intuition about what is provable from the standard model... you inevitably do it. And then you do it again.

@always-calculusting Thoughts? :3

[always-calculusting]

this is no more mathematically rigorous than my arguments that numbers are fuckable. and yet only one of us is widely believed. kinkshaming at its finest.

[the-least-undefinable-ordinal]

Oh that's because ω is the first large number, since it's not 0 and can't be reached by adding any two small numbers together. Which does make sense, the supremum of all the small numbers should not be small.

I'm afraid the argument that all numbers are fuckable would have to be revised, since it doesn't make sense for omega to not be fuckable.

[giantimp1]

Well the supermum of fuckable numbers is surely fuckable as well

[janmusija]

I'm getting a lot of "people who only like the "americans explaining a concept to each other: ok so imagine a burger..." meme explaining the "guy who has only seen The Boss Baby before watching his second movie: I'm getting a lot of Boss Baby vibes from this one" meme to each other: okay so imagine the "americans explaining a concept to each other: okay so imagine a burger..." meme..." vibes from this one

[janmusija]

thank you dear mutual

the 100% accurate guide to tea leaf reading:

-cup empty: you will need to pee soon

-cup still full of tea: dude i made it for you why aren't you drinking it

[the-least-undefinable-ordinal]

Always in awe at how much more my advisor knows than me, he comes up with such wonderfully clever tricks, which are probably adapted versions of something he saw like 15 years ago. I can see why he likes to repeat that saying "the devil is cunning because he's old, not because of his devilry".

[mossquitoman]

Apparantly (-1)^((p-1)/2)((q-1)/2) is -1 if both q and p are congruent to 3mod4 and 1 if p is congruent to 1mod4 (for p and q odd prime). Neat as hell

[giantimp1]

Well (-1)^n is -1 if n is odd and 1 otherwise so we can simplify to (p-1)*(q-1)/4 is even or not

If both q and p are 3 mod 4 then q-1 and p-1 are 2 mod 4(ie divisible by 2 and not by 4) meaning when we divide by 2 twice it's no longer divisible by 2, so odd

If one of them is 1 mod 4 then either p-1 or q-1 are 0 mod 4, so we can divide them by 4, the other one is divisible by 2 as well so the final number is odd

"But what if people will pretend to need this accessibility option so they can be lazy! People who don't need it will use it!!" I don't actually care

I dont care if 9/10 of the people who use the wheelchair ramp arent actually in wheelchairs. As long as the 1 person who needs it has access to it.

I dont care if 9/10 people who use the automatic push button on the library door can actually push the door open themselves. As long as the 1 person who the door is too heavy for gets to use it.

I dont care if 9/10 people who buy the can tab opener, or the little guitar clamp that holds the chords for you, or the hand grip that helps you hold chop sticks, don't need any of it and just get it to "be lazy". As long as the one disabled person who needs it gets access to it.

I do not care. Oh my GOD I do not care. As long as there's a disabled person on this planet who the accessibility device will benefit, the accessibility device is necessary.

Also, if you're so worried about people being "lazy" by using accessibility devices, MORE worried than you are about disabled (visibly or not) people not having access to them, you have unchecked ableism you need to work through.

Edit: Please stop fucking talking about the capos. I am talking about the thing you clamp on the neck of the guitar that holds/changes chords with a button, not capos. Stay on topic.

[giantimp1]

Would even go as far as to say most of these are net positives even if no disabled person uses them(not because they can't just don't happen to be needing it) and they are just used to be (more convenient) lazy

[michaelrotonal]

This is the optimal known packing of 39 squares in a larger square

[giantimp1]

I love looking at it from the bottom left corner to the up right corner

It starts with a square at corner, logical, calm collected

Then there's the weird diagonal construction, it looks like someone tried very hard, square carefully placing it like stacking rocks

Oh no it's falling it's falling god there's a small gap in the square floor, that finneeee oh god oh god

Well nothing left to do now but finish the corner
