"these researchers published a paper on something that literally any of us could have told you 🙄" ok well my supervisors wont let me write something in my thesis unless I can back it up with a citation so maybe it's a good thing that they're amplifying your voice to the scientific community in a way that prevents people from writing off your experiences as annecdotal evidence

A circle inscribed in a square covers 79% of the square.

A ball inscribed in a cube fills 52% of the cube.

A 4-ball inscribed in a hypercube fills 31% of the hypercube.

A 5-ball inscribed in a 5-cube fills 16% of the 5-cube.

⋮

A 9-ball inscribed in a 9-cube fills it up less than 1% of the way, yet there’s no room to fit a second ball of the same size without intersecting the first.

⋮

In dimensions 23 and up, you can fit a little cube in the corner of the diagram, such that the cube has a larger volume than the ball!

That's especially disconcerting because the 23-cube has 8,388,608 corners. Even if you inscribe the little red cubes in all eight million corners, your big cube will still be 99.5% empty space.

My T-shirt with the entire text of Borges' theoretical Library of Babel is raising a lot of questions already answered by the shirt, somewhere.

An animated map of Earth (with seasonal variations) by Eleanor Lutz, 2019

NASA publishes many Earth datasets at monthly time scales, and this GIF uses one frame per month to show the fluctuating seasons. The animation focuses mainly on data about Arctic sea ice and vegetation, but it was hard to choose - NASA has many other beautiful seasonal datasets, like fire, temperature, or rainfall.

This GIF uses one frame per month to show the fluctuating seasons (and) focuses mainly on data about Arctic sea ice and vegetation.

"y'all's" is the best regional solution to the english second person plural possessive problem but "your guyses" is my favorite because it sucks

legitimately the funniest thing about adderall is how often it makes me take a nap. Like, they tell you it'll help you focus, they do not tell you that one of the things it'll help you focus on is sleeping. My body finally gets the ability to Do Things, looks at my sleep debt, says a quick "damn bitch, you live like this?" and then it's beddy bye time.
