This....I was honestly surprised. I was also surprised when I found out that Ghost type moves are super effective on Ghost Pokemon.

Someone mentioned to me today that 1337% of Pi = 42. Sure enough, I ran the numbers and to two decimal places, Pi * 13.37 = 42.00.

For Discussion: Share something that when someone said it to you, you were like "really?" then you found out it was true and you were like "holy shit."
Dude, no, it makes 42.003093778495535598245542034447 silly!
for your information, only the first 2 digits after the decimal count. so its 42.00.

and yea I know its sarcasm. Im just being a dick.
Nah the other thread on it that was done had a link.
OT: Phooorrwww

I was surprised to learn that dragon type was only weak to dragon type. It confused and infuriated me.
Ice is also super effective. So an ice type pokemon using an ice type move on a Dragon/flying type it would do X2 dragon, x2 flying and x1.5 stab bonus. meaning a total of x6 super effective damage. this would only work against pokemon such as Salamence though.

OT: pretty much when i found out the the pi 1337 thing a few weeks ago.

Damn it, is there anything Google can't do?
Google can't...
uh...
God dammit.
How about find legitimately awesome stuff?
It does that too. Sometimes without being asked to.
Okay, you find the indie game 'Jumper' for me.

Think about this. (nerd science incoming)

All materials condense when they get colder, becoming more dense and sinking. This is especially true when they change state, say from liquid to solid.

EXCEPT WATER! Ice is the ONLY thing that actually expands and floats when it freezes.

The really freaky part? If this wasn't true then life as we know it would not exist! (water frozen in winter would sink and not be thawed by the summer sun, eventually causing all water to freeze)

So just remember: you wouldn't be alive except for one tiny little middle finger to thermal dynamics.
Hehe. Science is more fun than usual when you talk about tiny little fingers to thermal dynamics ^^.

OT: I dont really have anything, but the leet pi stuff....yeah...awesome stuff. Also the mario clouds/bushes. o.o

Also we should be keen to remember that its not just water freezing but theres air inside it aswell, or thats how i think it works
There are dissolved gases in water, but there is no "air" in water. Dissolved gases can become trapped in ice as water freezes, but they don't make up a significant portion of the ice.

But what about wood...or witches, who are made of wood? How would we know who to burn?
We will just have to burn everyone. To be absolutely sure of course.

Oh yeah, On Topic ness for others.

.999... = 1

Seriously, no funky math there. .9 to infinity = 1

Look at it this way.

2/3 = .666...
1/3 = .333...

1/3 + 2/3 = 1
.333... + .666... = .999..

Or:

1/9 = .111...
9x1/9 = 1
9x.111... = .999...

Have fun with that everyone.
My...brain.......ow.....

You can't make pi a whole number in base ten.
You can't make pi a whole number in any system except base pi...

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.

You know that thing in some anime when a character hears something unexpected and they fall off balance, or sometimes completely call over? Always thought it was just an anime thing until I saw a few Japanese people do it in all seriousness. Which begs the question; is it art imitating life or life imitating art?
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.

Zero to the zero power = 1.

O SHI, what have I done?!
No it's not. It's undefined. 0[sup]0[/sup]=0/0, which is undefined.

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.

The density of the planet Saturn is less than that of water.

Meaning that if you put it in an ocean big enough, it would float.
It's made of gas, a lot of gas. It would only "float" inasmuch as our atmosphere is "floating" above the ocean.

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.

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.

Division by zero is possible! And it breaks reality.
Given:
a=b
a[sup]2[/sup]=ab
a[sup]2[/sup]-b[sup]2[/sup]=ab-b[sup]2[/sup]
(a+b)(a-b)=b(a-b)
(a+b)=b
a+a=a
2a=a
2=1
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?

Haha, well played. I was just thinking of doing this.
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.

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.

You are correct. My mistake. Shouldn't correct people if I haven't done my research.

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.
