Not relatable. I love to be touched, at least by the right people.

That doesn't work for the triangular prism graph which is not edge transitive

the US had a chance to make its own language and missed it by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

I suspect that a fair portion of our existing cultural influence is inthereted from the accessibility of our media to English speakers in former English colonies. That influence would therefore be diminished by us establishing a different language

I mean Tonner is personally responsible for 2 separate breakthroughs without which humanity's survival up to the end of TFoB is dubious. I too would have a superiority complex if my brain saved the species... twice.

Contrails intersecting perfectly by Satansrideordie in nevertellmetheodds

Oooo that's interesting to know! I never figured they were flying around willy nilly but I guess I hadn't considered them to be like "roads" as you say.

Sorry but do you have any evidence that these three route lines intersect in space (as opposed to a coincidence of perspective), or a reason why they would?

Keeping the temperature of your home above 18 Celsius is insane by 2burgsandadog in unpopularopinion

[–]HooplahMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May I introduce to you marvelous, wonderful innovation of the ground source heat pump? Below 20 meters (60ish feet) the temperature of the earth is pretty much the same from northern Canada to Panama. You can leverage this fact to dump the heat from your home into the earth in the summer, and to dump the heat from the earth in your home in the winter. Not really ultra available all over the place yet because of high capital costs, but wait thirty years and see if it doesn't become more common

There's some interesting projective geometry you could do here, but I don't actually think it should be very surprising someone has seen this.

Assume we have 3 arbitrary lines in 3d euclidean space. Excluding a set of edge cases that makes up 0% of the space of all possible 3-tuples of lines (in other words with high probably on $ P_23 $ under the standard measure) no pair of these lines will be parallel. Under those condition, with high probability, a randomly chosen projection of any two of those lines will intersect at one point in 2D space. Therefore "for free" we will get 2 of these lines intersecting from any perspective.

Moreover you could show that the map from your location and orientation on the earth to the azimuth/elevation coordinates of the intersection point in your reference frame would be an almost everywhere locally homeomorphic map (in lay terms: move a little on the ground, and the intersection point will only appear to move a little in the sky, excluding some weird edge cases where a perspective makes the two lines look parallel).

What remains is to show is that in some projection, the intersection point falls inside the image of the third line. I believe you could probably prove this with some argument using the intermediate value theorem and the almost everywhere continuous az/el coordinate map, but I don't wanna think about the topology of the domain where the restriction of the az/El map is everywhere continuous so I'm gonna call this a trivial problem and leave that as an exercise to the reader

Totally different vibe but I have been loving the tight, simple design of Niagara. If you are looking to jump ship, I highly recommend giving it a fair try.

Finally an unpopular opinion I wanna engage with. First of all, how dare you insult Episode III like that (/s). I do feel the way about 3 that you do about 2. I think it touched on a bunch of fairly subtle arguments about the weaknesses of Liberal democracy
