Something odd before I go to bed.

This is my home. I've lived here 4 years. I've internalized the floor plan well enough that my dreams could model it accurately if desired. But something is strange. In waking life the house is all one floor: no stairs inside the house. In dreams, it's always a split-level, with stairs at the blue X leading down to the living room. This feature has been consistent across hundreds of dreams. What do you think is the significance of that?

obviously the single step is increased to ten for the sake of extending playtime to get over the 2-hour return window

intesting its blushing for me

[maryland-officially]

Why is yours so intense lol

[michaelrotonal]

let me have it pleeease

[soul-or-sorei]

whenever I see a blaze that annoys me I go onto the op's blog(since I can't just do it from the post) and block them. #fuck you and #get off my dash

[soul-or-sorei]

my people

[michaelrotonal]

the only blazed post i've ever seen is toby fox post

[half-gobbled-piece-of-toast]

“I ain’t reading all that” your brain is rotting and shrinking

[springsgreenleaves]

Yes, but also, I am begging you on bended knee, paragraph breaks.

[michaelrotonal]

both of these are true but so is: learn to shorten things after they've been written

[drinksomefuckingwater]

drink some fucking water

[michaelrotonal]

i already am! haha gotcha

[michaelrotonal]

my trick for when i'm trying to start a task is figuring out what to do to start the task, and then doing that. then the rest comes naturally

[lady-of-vitreous-sight]

Hey just so you know you typed the word "that" twice consecutively in your latest post

well it just so happens that that that was actually intended to be there

[michaelrotonal]

it turns out that that "that that" that that post had had was deliberate

[395nm]

take a moment to perform a beautiful long division:

9 divides into 531441 how many times?

thank you for celebrating my special day.

please like this post if you did the math <3

[michaelrotonal]

as many times as you want. no matter what, 531441 / 9 = 59049.

however, fun fact about 531441: it equals 3¹², and its closeness to 2¹⁹ = 524288 explains why 12EDO is the currently used tuning system

The second Tuesday in June is re-bracketing day! Celebrate by taking a nedible and sending in a napplication :D

[michaelrotonal]

i think i'll just take an ap

my friend wrote a terrible docstring and now i'm going to publicly shame him for it

what the fuck is this??

what he's trying to say is: """ main menu drawing function:

inputs:

- isPlayer0Active (Bool): True when player 1 has joined

- isPlayer1Active (Bool): True when player 1 has joined

returns:

- hasGameStarted (Bool): True when both players have joined (game has started)

"""

but nooooo he had to go and write it as a fucking sentence for some reason

and waste like 5 minutes of my time trying to figure out what the hell this function was actually doing

[michaelrotonal]

well your explanation has a bug and his doesn't so

[scratch-meowt]

my hottest take

[keeper-of-the-flames]

Counter point, those machines can make me a peach sprite.

[pusheenthenerdcat]

guys did you know the tech in that nefangled machine revolutionized preemie healthcare

[maimonideznuts]

[pusheenthenerdcat]

yeah the guy who invented them made incredibly precise infusion pumps (as opposed to gravity fed ivs) which not only meant they could give medications to teeny tiny babies safely, it's also used for insulin pumps and portable dialysis machines. the key element is that it's a peristaltic pump so the liquid stays in sterile tubing for safety

(unholy drink cloaca uses it to dispense precise amounts of flavored sugar syrup)

[hedgebotherer]

Then how the haters loved him,

As they shouted out with glee,

"Unholy Drink Cloaca

You'll go down in history!"

[michaelrotonal]

where's that account that analyzes poems

[nonaferatu]

people hate it when i say "black people getting cancer is racist" but im literally fucking right because systemic racism has led to chemical dumping being acceptable in black/brown neighborhoods and black people have higher rates of cancer as a result

[michaelrotonal]

"racism causes X" and "X is racist" are not the same statement. i agree with your point though

fun group theory puzzle i had to solve earlier today:

There are 40 elements of S6 that are of the form (ABC)(DEF). They can be placed into 20 equivalence classes by placing inverses in the same equivalence class, and then further into 10 equivalence classes by not caring about the order of elements in a cycle. Choose one element of each equivalence class such that the set of the 20 corresponding elements of S6 is closed under conjugation.

[michaelrotonal]

My solution is as follows:

Via the Exceptional Outer Automorphism of S6, each element of S6 of the form (ABC)(DEF) is associated with an element of S6 of the form (ABC). The first equivalence class pairs the elements (ABC) and (ACB), and the second equivalence class pairs the equivalence class containing (ABC) and (ACB) with the equivalence class containing (DEF) and (DFE). This makes the problem way easier: Just pick one element of the set permuted by the elements of S6, and take the equivalence classes that keep that element where it is.
