why do conspiracy nuts always put so much focus on earth

A subconscious need to prove how down to earth they are?

Or perhaps it's a conspiracy to create so many conspiracy theories about the earth that it obfuscated what really goes on beneath our feet.

Also because the Venusian government actually came out and admitted that it really did fake the terrorist attack on the BBQ Palace.

I'm unsure what to say in relation to this but I am amazed it exists and very amused.

All because I looked up a comic that makes me laugh whenever I see hand to hand in games.

Anyway, I looked up Miles Mathis a bit.

Actually, the quote "squaring the circle" tipped me onto what Mathis is probably doing to get "Pi = 4".

- inscribe a circle in a square.
- cut away the square in a horizontal/vertical zig-zag fashion
- take the limit of this as the zig-zags become smaller
- the zig-zag line approaches infintisemally close to the circle
- but the line's length never changes, hence "Pi = 4".

basically, he's taking the Manhattan Distance of the circle's boundary, and showing that that is indeed the same length as square that bounds the circle.

One main problem with that argument is that with the right shaped "bumps" on each line segment you can in fact set Pi to whatever you want with this same method, and it's still equally true that the enclosed volume approaches infintisemally close to the circle.

I think the problem is sliiightly deeper. The dude has a whole bunch of thoughts on how far you're allowed to abstract things and if you don't agree then you are deluded.

E: In fact the dude goes on to thoroughly prove that he has no second clue about the entirety of calculus and algebra. Dude uses all the mathematical terms but manipulates them using intuition instead of logic, like a toddler with a Sudoku. Freely translated quote: "The numerator is a point so it is zero therefore dy/dx does not make sense"

idk exactly. I guess they're saying that selfies are sexualization, but the fact is it's a thing girls actually do, and nobody is exactly holding a gun to their heads to do that. It's a selfie. It's a cultural activity created by girls them emulated by other girls.

And dudes. Let's not make selfies out to be exclusively a female sin.

Its also very rabbids.

The personality of the rabbids is satire.  Peach taking a selfie is exactly satire of peach.  It isnt a 'female taking a selfie'  it is peach taking a selfie in the middle of a life-or-death (or at least team-competition) event with blatant shallowness as satire.

To be completely honest, if that article isnt a case of 'doth protest too much' I dont know what is.  The article is taking the piss.

Why "sin"? You're attaching the value judgement there, people who merely mention that selfies are largely a female cultural phenomena aren't the ones doing that. There's ample research data suggesting it is so, and articles from feminists describing it as a manifestation of "gender performativity".

Yeah, it's like they never read the Mario comics and how it was stressed about Mario's no-gun and no-killing policy even as he dealt with the criminals of Gotham.

Er, because calling most modern actions a sin invokes a playful exaggeration by likening a emergent phenomenon to a trespass frequently considered to be worthy of eternal damnation?

Similar to how I refer to people who microwave bacon as heathens. Clearly, this is an exaggeration, and thus it enables me to express my opinion in a humorous manner that can still allow people to laugh while in mutual disagreement.

You're on the internets, bro. Poe's Law is always in effect.

Also, people could be reacting in a similarly ironically excessive manner also in order to be amusing, though Reelya doesn't strike me as the type to do that.
