This is actually examples of the field of mathematics called topology and it’s fucking bullshit wizard shit.
finally, applied mathematics
Don’t worry mathematicians had a very similar reaction at first
Basically around the beginning of 20th century mathematicians were arguing about how to eliminate paradoxes from coming up in maths, and they were questioning whether the bases of maths, known for thousands of years, are complete / correct
In geometry there were those five principles from which everything else was derived, and mathematicians were like: „See, we’ll prove that geometry is sound and complete bc without any one of those principles nothing will make sense!”
And then it made sense. It made too much sense in many weird ways when they removed the 5th principle.
And so, topology was born, simply because mathematicians were so sure it wouldn’t work they decided to try it out as a joke
No protected person may be punished for an offense he or she has not personally committed. Collective penalties and likewise all measures of intimidation or of terrorism are prohibited.
This technically counts, as students are civilians, and thus considered a “protected person”. So yes, collective classroom punishment breaks the fourth Geneva Convention, and she should be rewarded for standing up for human rights and doing her research.
Power-move: accuse your teacher of a war crime using knowledge they supplied you with
“if you take medication for that, you’ll be taking medication all your life!!” yeah, and?? bud, i already put on my glasses every morning. it’s like. a condition of mine, not a side hobby i’m pursuing irresponsibly.
and the thrilling sequel: “taking meds for that is the easy way out!” right you are my dude, i’m a huge fan of not making things harder than they have to be
something very funny about only the very early Mickey Mouse shorts going into the public domain is that early Mickey is a dick. it’s now legal to make commercial works about Mickey Mouse but only if you depict him as a real shithead. :)
I love having parasocial relationships with my mutuals like yea we don’t talk at all but that is literally my homie I don’t get how that’s hard to understand
Everybody say a silent prayer for me as I smash the head of baby Jesus clean off this statue in the name of art.
I just cannot for the life of me figure out how to snap this kid’s neck without breaking his mom, but giving him a new, cooler head is vital to my vision and it simply gotta go.

So the thing about that is, I gave up and crushed it with a wrench and the shards flew all over the place.
Just like in the Bible.

Massive hater alert from the graven images fandom.
Every year the Girl Scouts would come to my door, and their sales pitch was, “Would you like to buy some Girl Scout cookies? They’re made with real Girl Scouts”.
I have no idea who told them to quote the Addams Family, but it worked every damn time.
It’s really freaking weird how Anime is like, considered one single interest by a lot of people and it has a single community here in the states. Like, right now I’m keeping up with Akiba’s Trip and Little Witch Academia, and I’ve been meaning to watch more of Neon Genesis Evangelion, which is kind of like saying “I’m watching How I met your Mother and The Backyardigans, and I’ve been meaning to finish The Godfather.”
Do you ever close the tumblr app because it is boring and you don’t want to anymore, just to look at your phonescreen like oohhh tumblr I like that and open it and nothing changed :) yeahhh
idk I just personally think that getting chills from music is the best part of being alive. like when a song is so good you can feel it in your whole body. that’s why I’m here.
there’s absolutely nothing better than reading a 100k word fanfic, that is until you remember you have a body that is starving, thirsty and incredibly sleep deprived and hasn’t used the bathroom since the sun set 8 hours ago
i think it’s about damn time to invent a computer mouse that doesn’t require a flat surface (or any surface) to move on. i want an orb i can move around in the air instead of a mouse >:-(
The all new ancap president’s platform was literally to pretty much shut down half the government.
He promised to shut down things like the ministry of gender equality in the name of “efficiency”. The ministry of human capital has now taken over the mantles of at least three others, and of course all of that was done through a presidential “decree”
“
The Secretariats listed above will assist the NATIONAL EXECUTIVE BRANCH directly. Similar assistance will be provided by the other Secretariats and organizations that the President of the Nation creates for this purpose, without prejudice to his powers to modify, transfer or suppress said Secretariats and organizations.
ARTICLE 3. - Replace article 10 of Title III of the Ministries Law (text ordered by Decree No. 438/92) and its amendments with the following:
“ARTICLE 10. - The President of the Nation will determine the specific functions of each Secretariat and presidential body.
”
Oh also he consolidated executive power as shown in this excerpt.
yknow it’s more than a little sad that every artists ‘hand-wringing panicking’ about what ai would do to the industry and how it would replace a lot of the already slim meat-and-potatoes jobs we rely on to survive were overwhelmingly proven true months after the technology really became widespread. It’s sad that convention space is being taken up by enormous booths full of cheap ai prints soaking up the limited space and money available at cons, it’s sad that competitions are getting flooded with ai generated pieces, it’s sad that i’ve seen a lot of ‘man. i’m just gonna go work at target, i can’t compete with this.’ from ppl who have been working in the industry for YEARS.
But it’s INFURIATING to see supposedly leftist game devs and indie ttrpg makers on here try and astroturf a PR campaign for ai to make using it for their projects more socially acceptable, and in order to do this paint artists as pearl clutching hysterics. As if anyone would blink on here if factory workers threw a brick through a window when they were being replaced by automation, but because art is never respected or treated like actual labor our industry collapsing is just kind of a big joke.
Like I saw someone compare the gay sex cats to Duchamp LIKE NO!!!! THEYRE NOT!!! The people who would get pissed off at Duchamp’s fountain are a very specific demographic!!!! Namely fascists!!! Like the implication of a statement like that is actually absurd. who is the fascist in this analogy, 25 year old nonbinary artists?? If you don’t want to pay artists to do your backgrounds for your indie game like just SAY it. (edit: additional context bc this got out of hand but I’ve looked at the blog of the person who said this and i’m walking back the salt I expressed here. It’s a nuanced take that wasn’t expressed super clearly in the post that went viral and he’s elaborated on it a lot in a way that makes me feel this was an unfair interpretation of his words. My bad)
i will spend every day of the rest of my life saying ‘if you’re going to like something you should reblog it too’
nobody’s judging you for what you reblog unless it is outright hate, but you know who DOES care about it? our dying art community.
this site is BUILT on fanworks and we’re complaining an awful lot about the changes staff is making to try to boost site traffic, yet doing little to support what communities we have on here. you don’t have to leave tags, you don’t have to leave comments, but if you want tumblr to stay the same we have to reblog shit on this site like we used to otherwise we’ll lose the artists and writers our foundation was built on.
Look I get that we all want to relate to one another. I really do. But seeing people on my post about how shitty it is to exist as a visibly deformed & disabled person in public say things like “that’s why i don’t stim in public” or “that’s why i’m scared to bring my cane in public” is just… You’re missing the point.
Some of us cannot mask our disabilities. You can simply not stim if you can supress it in the first place. You can leave your cane at home if you’re doing that already in the first place. A knee brace doesn’t make you look like a “freak”. You do appear abled otherwise.
I cannot. Many people I know cannot. I can’t just “hide” my deformities and abnormal gait or convulsions to appear abled. I *need* my crutches everywhere I go. I can’t supress my tics. Full-time wheelchair users exist. High support needs autistics exist. Schizospecs who cannot mask exist. People with William’s Sydrome, Down’s Syndrome and various obvious deformities exist. Little people. People with severe chemical burns or otherwise or scarring. People with Parkinson’s, Tourette’s, Huntington’s, Cerebral Palsy, every disabled person who looks “abnormal”.
We can’t just “turn it off” like you. People WILL stare at us. Point their fingers at us. We have no power. They used to put us into freakshows. Not you. Not you who can hide your disability to “appear normal”. That post was not for you to “relate to”. I and many people are sick of many invisibly disabled people claiming they “want to look disabled” so they’d be “taken more seriously”. It’s not an invitation of you to declare you leaving your mobility aid at home or shit like that. It’s not the damn same.
It’s all “be gay do crimes” “cringe culture is dead uwu” until y'all lay your eyes upon someone genuinely weird/transgressive like nonhuman-identifying people, or kinky people, or even neurodivergent people who can’t mask to your satisfaction and suddenly y'all are chomping at the bit to become attack dogs for an oppressive social order/“normalcy”
boy it would be nice to be able to google something related to personality disorders, psychosis, intellectual disabilities, autism, DID/OSDD, etcetera without finding majority articles that are like “how to deal with a person with X” “how to cope with your child with X” “how to spot someone faking X” “can people with X be cured?”
