A place to post memes & images that won't absolutely obliterate your mental health! Memes must not stray into hopelessness and be generally positive or neutral.

I made this with my kid in mind, so that they can have a good, safe place to look at memes, just made to make folks laugh and smile!

Only goofs & silliness. (:

Kids love trivia. When I was a kid I had the characteristics of dozens of dinosaur species memorized. The whole Pokemon franchise is built on this.

sqrt 2 = 1.4142135623730950884
sqrt 3 = 1.732050808
sqrt 5 = 2.236067978
sqrt 6 = 2.664(?) i think
sqrt 7 = ?
sqrt 8 = 2.828
sqrt 10 = 3.166

recited from memory, remembered since i was 13 or sth idk, i was bored back then.

You skipped 4 and 9. Couldn't remember those, could you?

sqrt 1 = 1
sqrt 4 = 2
sqrt 9 = 3

Why don't you know 7, also 6 is wrong

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

What they had for 6 is closer to 7

~ 2.64575

Goddammit I love this website 😂😂😂

yeah lol i figured out some time later that there's really no use to these numbers, sqrt 2 is the only one that actually matters at all, and maybe sqrt 3 for some applications, and pi and e but that's it.

At one time I knew pi to thirty places. Then I read somewhere that it really doesn’t need to be that precise. So for example, if you were measuring the circumference of the earth using π = 3.14159 vs π = 3.141592653589793 it only changes the circumference by fractions of a millimeter at this scale. I can’t measure a 24 inch piece of wood with that amount of accuracy.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The circumference of the Earth is somewhat subjective at that scale anyway, since it also depends on where you decide the radius stops.

Well yeah since we really aren’t a perfect sphere. Not to mention elevation, buildings, etc.

Alpha Beta Gamma Delta Epsilon Zeta Eta Theta Iota Kappa Lambda Mu Nu Omicron? ? Rho Tau Sigma Upsilon Phi Chi Psi Omega

Edit: Forgot about Xi and Pi, before and after Omicron respectively. Also swapped Tau and Sigma's position.

Did you guys do the match challenge too?

Wait wut? Pokemon is based on some aspect of reality? That's the best thing I've learned today!
