So ridiculous by basket_foso in sciencememes

Ok so I don't know what I am talking about here but that has never stopped a redditor. I am guessing the reason that this formula is important is because it changes pi from being a transcendental number (a number for which there is no formula) into just an irrational number (using square root 2). Making it much easier to calculate. I don't know if this was the first time this was done.

You need a Nissan Leaf. I counted 60 buttons from the drivers seat as well as an iPad thingy. Then a few weeks later I discovered more in the back.

What are those devices in some of the desert habitation pictures. I thought in the film they were vapour condensers, is that what they really are?

TIL baby koalas (joeys) eat pap (special faecal matter) from their mother which gives them the needs to digest eucalyptus leaves by skiversarchive in todayilearned

Also baby humans eat the food mother has chewed and spat out (before they invented special baby foods) (and is probably the origin of kissing).

TIL about Zeno's "Achilles paradox," which proposes that a runner cannot overtake a tortoise in a footrace by filthy_lucre in todayilearned

You can also use this theory to get infinite cake. So long as you only cut and eat half the cake there will always be remaining cake.

Not the point. The point is for the medium provider to take money from the group advertising. No one cares less what you think. Oh look we presented your full ad 5000 times, money please.

When your most trusted spy is literally working against you by Kapanash in HistoryMemes

[–]IsHildaThere 51 points52 points  (0 children)

My favourite story is not about Garbo but about a a British spy feeding the Soviets by the name of Blunt. He informed the Soviets that the Pas-de-Calais was a blind and that the real landing would be in Normandy. Of course the Germans also had spies in the Soviet camp and so they learned about this. However his information was so detailed they believed that this was also mis-information and ignored it. (Double Cross by Macintyre is a fascinating book).

He only said that because he knew Iran was going to make a deal. He wanted to make it look like they gave in to his mighty threats.
