Pi * 1337% = 42. My mind is blown.

Its just a hidden little gem in the Hitchhikers guide. I don't see why everyone is getting so excited about it. Sure if I wrote a book and some arbitrary number came up, and then later you found out it wasn't actually arbitrary but that it was the product of Planck's constant and the number values of the letters in the word 'Spooge' then would you still be shitting your pants? Same thing really.
Eh, that's pretty much just Salamence, Flygon, Garchomp and Dragonite tho (can't remember any other dragon/flying dragon/ground types), and even if you were going up against a dragon type, they can still use the fire, water or ground moves many dragon types learn by level up alone, not to mention all the TMs they can learn.Bigsmith said:

Yeah I saw it in some TV shows when I was in Japan, I'd go with life imitating anime but... it being Japan, there is no way to be sure.crazygator said:

No it's not. It's undefined. 0[sup]0[/sup]=0/0, which is undefined.Wardnath said:
If you're going to have your mind blown, at least get it blown by something which is true.
EDIT: Apparently there is some mathematical consensus that it's useful to have 0^0=1. My mistake. But it's a debatable point, as it can be shown that 0^0 can take on different values when the limit is taken in functions. Explained here.
It's made of gas, a lot of gas. It would only "float" inasmuch as our atmosphere is "floating" above the ocean.Wardnath said:
But if you're thinking about planetary WTFs, the hurricane that is the Eye of Jupiter is large enough to engulf the entire earth.
The source of all life on earth is ball of gas so massive it is constantly undergoing nuclear explosions; destroying its own particles and turning matter into energy which provides us with the energy for life.
Volcanoes were the source of water on earth.
All the roads in the United States put end to end are more than long enough to wrap around the sun's equator. And the sun is this big compared to earth:
And our sun is only a medium sized star. Compare to some other stars in the universe:
Starts at 0:15
Stars are tiny pinpricks of light in this vast universe. We are so much smaller than that, it's ridiculous. And we're made up of cells significantly smaller. And they're made of molecules, which are made of atoms, which are made of elementary particles, which are made of quarks. At a subatomic level, we need an entirely different physics than the classical model we're used to.
Quantum physics blows my mind, more than anything else. Even knowing that we're less than one 10[sup]75[/sup]th of the universe's mass. And that matter as we know it is only a small fraction of the universe, both in volume and energy.
The idea that particles can exist in multiple places simultaneously... is troubling. The idea of atoms as concrete building blocks for reality is comforting, but false. It's energy fields that hold everything together. You are a woven quantity of protons and neutrons held together by electrons orbiting in probability fields.
So ultimately, I guess thinking about the nature of reality is what really blows my mind. Multidimensional, indefinite, reality. Where particles move across space where they literally cannot pass through. Where time is just another dimension, but dimensions can be curled inside of others.

There isn't a rule for what digits count.Z(ombie)fan said:
It is indeed of the norm to only include the 2 first digits after the decimal, but there's nothing saying that those are the only digits that count.
If going by the logic that only the 2 digits after the decimal count, we can only use 3.14 when using pi.
3.14 * 13.37 = 41.98
So it's still not 42.
So it still doesn't add up.
That's fucking great, can't wait to spread the word
I'm not sure whether you're joking or not? Your "proof" that division by zero is possible is that the result if you do so is 2=1?crimson5pheonix said:
How's that well played? SimuLord explicitly stated that it's to two decimal places (which is correct), and Santos did nothing but round to thirty decimal places instead. You guys are aware that it's just your calculator stopping there, right? Pi is an irrational number, after all.PayJ567 said:
It's of course correct that 0/0 is undefined and that strictly speaking, 0[sup]0[/sup] might be considered undefined as well, depending on how you see it, but they're certainly not the same. Furthermore, for reasons of practicality, it's quite sensible to define 0[sup]0[/sup] = 1, since otherwise quite a lot of mathematical proofs and formulas would require an exception for that case. That's why it's standardized that way for usage in computers, as well.Calatar said:
MiracleOfSound's Clay Carmine song sounds a little like Voodoo Child (Slight Return). My mind is blown. I listened to it for ages, trying to figure out why it sounded so familiar. It's nowhere near the same, but it's just similar enough for it to fuck with my mind.

Holy shit. I'm scared....those things are smart and hunt things way way bigger than themselves 0_O
And now I'm imagining an army of super-smart spiders using tiny rifles....
That's simultaneously very scary and very AWESOME.

You're not being a dick, just ensuring that correct proceedure regarding significant figures is being followed through. Significant Figure Nazi?Z(ombie)fan said:
