4, 27

THEY MAKE SO MUCH SENSE! Three nines are 27? Two twos are four??? OF COURSE HOW COULD THEY NOT BE? A good cube and a good square. Everything is right with the world. The antithesis of this is like 57 (which is not a prime number!!? !!!!! Vibes are wrong)

math isn’t real

i have gotten into real debates with my friends for this one. but math exists in the same space in my brain as like… zeus. i’m not denying the existence of the concepts of math, but i think math and numbers are just a way humans describe the patterns we see. like how ancients used mythology to describe the patterns of weather and time. if the aliens come, there’s no way they are using y = mx + b and the quadratic formula to label that concept. they’re calling it something else. like obviously addition and subtraction is real, but we are just applying human explanations to something that already exists and calling it math. i guess it makes more sense to say math is just a mythology.

p-diatic numbers

introduced to the concept from this veritasium video. and holy shit it was like my brain exploded before my very eyes. infinite integers in strings of digits can be 0 or negative and all this counterintuitive shit. its like doing decimal mathematics but to the left of the decimal point instead. astounding. and they proved fermat's last thm with it?????? insane

accepting that you’re not trendy and cool

tried reading dante alighieri’s inferno. key emphasis on tried. i got bored and realised a story written in poem form is not my typa beat. i tried because it seemed like what all the indie hipsters who are well versed would read, and that i would look cool and niche—but it just cost me $25. i prefer crazy detailed paragraphs rather than a line by line story. anyways

stop saying “i’m sick”!!

saying “i’m sick” when you’re sick is boring. instead, here are some more funky fresh and cool ways to disclose that your immune system has been highjacked (it’s time to revive these sayings from the dead!): “i am indisposed” “i am taken ill” “i am feeling out of sorts” “i am suffering from a bilious attack” “i have been seized by an ague” “i am afflicted with a malaise” “i have taken to my bed” “the vapours have overcome me” “i have a touch of the influenza” “the rheumatism plagues me” “i am laid low with a fever” “i am afflicted with a troublesome ailment” you’re welcome
