    OP’s problem isn’t even wrong.

    It’s just assuming that π is 5 in this specific scenario, just like it’s reasonable to assume the existence of a spherical cow in a frictionless environment. Yeah, if you use the results of this problem to develop a real cylinder you’re going to have a bad time but nobody is doing that all what’s the problem?

    Nobody is saying that from this point in time and going forward π = 5 and now math is broken forever. People need to chill

    I know a guy that very was vocal against street lights in the 90’s.

    He was/is an amateur astronomer that modified his rooftop to be an actual telescope and the street lamps were angled in a certain way that like 40% of the light produced by them was shinning to the sky, making his observations harder to perform.

    He went to my school to warn about light pollution and also teach us about planets and all that good stuff.

    I think he became frustrated and quitted because last time I saw anything about him he was all about rescuing dogs from the street. :/



  • Sharing video is such a big problem that even Google couldn’t solve it when it was their time. They just bought their biggest competitor when their own platform didn’t get traction. And then operated at a loss for years and years.

    I’d love to see descentralized video platforms as the next guy but there are serious barriers that come with the medium
