Casual Geographic is such a good content creator. Really enjoy his style.

Jaguars and anacondas don't get to see that chill nihilism from capybaras.

Also, if you see a group of them wandering, do not try to chill with them.

Can you elaborate please?

You must be pretty long, if you reach both ends of the spectrum.

Fucking A indeed!

Or the spectrum is actually a donut

[-] CrazyLikeGollum@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Fun fact: humans are geometrically a donut.

Not quite we are more like pants with 6(?) legs

I'm sure most people have more (topological) holes than one

Both nostrils, for example

[-] CrazyLikeGollum@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

The nostrils are connected to the throat through the sinuses as are the ear canals. Topologically making them all part of the same mouth-anus throughole.

Not true, topolgically the route

left nostril -> sinus -> right nostril

is another hole. So is

any nostril -> sinus -> mouth.

ears have the eardrum, so they don't count.

For the more formal definitions of topological holes, look up Betti numbers, I think there's a VSauce video about it? For humans, the number of holes is at least 3 (but I'm sure I'm missing many more holes). Unless you're missing the entire septum.

Four-legged assault-oreo?? Made my day... 😂😂

Yes, our very God deleted my comment personally.

Imo when life is fun you should try to enjoy it and when its bad you should try to enjoy it just to spite the haters, not that it matters anyways if youre not enjoying it.

Nihilism (the philosophy) needs a new label. Like "retarded" or "manic depressive", the common usage has overtaken the academic meaning. I'm not complaining, this is a natural and good process of language. Just saying we need a new term.

It’s extremely common for different fields of inquiry (scientific, mathematical, philosophical, etc) to reuse common words. If we had to come up with brand new words for everything in every field then we’d all be speaking gibberish, like they do in medicine!
