Welcome!

No, I really don’t. We’ll always have war buffs.

Pick whatever instance best suits the topic of the community. If you wanted a community about shovelling snow, midwest.social is an obvious choice. A mini about bicycle-powered computing? Consider slrpnk.net or one of the tech instances.

Sounds like a Blorp design decision, not lemmy in general.

I’m a waitress. I’m not telling you about what I do, I’m telling you about what I have to deal with.

A lot of people, actually. People throw down more than that for dinner at a nice restaurant these days.

That’s a tricky question! But it is mostly used in purely mathematical contexts currently. Though, as with so much of pure math, we don’t always know in advance what will end up being useful in the material world.

A hypercube can be any size (hypervolume, technically) but to answer your question, it’s the 3D or 2D slice of the hypercube that changes volume or area, respectively.

It’s actually easier to see with a hypersphere:

First, think of slicing a sphere into circles, you’ll start with small ones, get bigger circles very quickly, and then the size of the circles still increases but more slowly, until they reach a circle with the same radius as the sphere, then slowly start to decrease again and then speed up the decrease until it’s small circles again. Did that make sense?

A hypersphere sliced into spheres is the same: Smaller spheres that get bigger quickly, then slow, reach the largest size sphere with the same radius as the hypersphere, decrease, decrease faster, end with small sphere again.

The same effect happens when slicing any hypervolume.

According to Plato, we only interact with memes through caves, and have no way of knowing if the what the meme means to us is what it actually signifies, or even if it signifies anything at all. It’s all shadows on the wall of a cave and our minds do the rest.

Nihil nova sub sole.

That old enough for ya?

My teenager offspring has extremely strong opinions on this and recently wrote an entire essay on how likely they are to actually enjoy pepperoni pizza given the original species involved.

But sadly, I don’t remember the actual breeds involved, just that in the latest version they’re all distinct species.

Argentina, but I think Cabo Verde was the most interesting team this year.

Edit: Misread the question, sorry.

I sometimes use it to mean “I don’t think you read what I wrote” or “I don’t think that’s relevant” in one-on-one discussions, but it has to be pretty egregious, since I upvote anyone who replies to me by default and simply not voting is my version of the downvote in that situation.

Super 3D Noah’s Ark, for the SNES. That game was legitimately very fun.

My neighbor just dropped off some from her chickens, because we’re part of a mutual aid society.

It’s the mark of one of the secret societies I’m in. For obvious reasons, I can’t say more.

Get amped!

You never heard of “Rhythm & Glues”?

People who say that are correct, but their motive for saying it is always suspect.
