Is it related to the mystical experiences on them, or more so a neurobiological mechanism?
Interested in hearing what you guys think

🧵 /mg/ - Metric General
Anonymous at Sun, 14 Jul 2024 04:40:20 UTC No. 16281005
Given that the userbase of 4chan is overwhelming American and your median USAican is yoked by the US Customary system, I propose /mg/ for discussing ways to use and spread the Metric System.
Steps:
1. Converting your (digital) devices to metric
2. Trading tools made in US customary for metric
3. Using metric in day-to-day conversation
4. Using metric in a professional environment
5. Encouraging others to use the metric system whenever and wherever possible
Topics:
>Metric-only or Metric-capable tools/devices/appliances
>Metrication promotion (whether informal or formal)
>Modding USC things to Metric
>Anecdotes relating to the benefits of the Metric System or anecdotes of the failures of USC

i decide to practice math for the first time in like 2 years and google hits me with this... was i wrong? surely google knows the difference between an expression and an equation. from what i understand, an equation has to EQUATE something. but maybe i'm just not clued into the terminological nuances of algebra enough to know when a colloquial definition of 'equation' is being used... you tell me.

🧵 The techno-industrial system will destroy itself
Anonymous at Sat, 13 Jul 2024 22:58:56 UTC No. 16280770
We live in a time of rapid travel and near-instant communication that has led to the rise of global self-propagating systems that compete with each other ruthlessly in the short-term with little regard for long-term consequences. As their influence grows, the consequences of their actions will cause increasingly disruptive ripples through the highly complex AND highly coupled system. This can eventually lead to a severe event or series of events that can cause the extinction of humanity and many forms of complex life. See Chapter 2 of Anti-tech Revolution: Why and How (wildernessfront.com/books) for a broader discussion.
Some of you may think that the way out is "through" and standing by while it completes its self-inflicted destruction is an example of "not interrupting your enemy while they make a mistake", but the more we let the techno-industrial system integrate itself into our lives, the greater the consequences of its uprooting will be. We have no idea what the necessary measures of continuing this clown world might be. Our dependence on it right now for our food, water, safety, and shelter might grow to include things you might think ridiculous, maybe even air. We can't predict what the death throes will mean for us. It needs to end sooner rather than later.

Wouldn't it be completely expected and normal to see polar ice sheets shrinking during an interglacial period?

Good news fellow environmentalists!
Regions regions that the scientist said were going to become arid wastelands due to increased atmospheric CO2 are instead becoming healthier than they ever were before.
Sure is nice to see nature becoming so vigorous and robust. Are all my fellow environmentalists happy to see this? Of course they are, only someone who hates nature would be upset to see nature getting healthier.

If there are an infinite number of whole numbers, and an infinite number of decimals between any two whole numbers, and an infinite number of decimals in between any two decimals, does that mean that there are infinite infinities? And an infinite number of those infinities? And an infinite number of those infinities? And an infinite number of those infinities? And an infinite number of those infinities? And… (Infinitely times. And that infinitely times. and that infinitely times. and that infinitely times. And..) …

>Prime numbers are natural numbers that are divisible by only 1 and the number itself.
How the fuck is 1 not a prime number? Are mathematicians retarded?

Have we ever directly observed an electron, proton, neutron, or quark? Do they actually exist or are they just abstractions of quantitative relations
