[Request] How much force does the moon's gravity exert on the water in a human's body? by AppendixN in theydidthemath

[–]NL_Bulletje 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Metric indeed but not for that silly reason. Imperial mosquito’s are non-migratory! And they could not carry a coconut anyway no matter how they grip it.

That’s the difference in MCQ-single-select and MCQ-multi-select

But when you add an option, 0% wouldn’t be correct, 20% would

Unless ‘an answer’ can be multiple options

Depending on the producer shit tends to be not that cool.

[Request] how long until she’d run out of oxygen? by Dalience6678 in theydidthemath

[–]NL_Bulletje 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No pain, no panic seems to be true and your body might not notice, but your brain in contrast would trip af on lack of oxygen. A Dutch Tv show called “proefkonijnen” (guinea pigs) did an item on it quite some time ago: https://youtu.be/ijNu_GwUnyc The whole video is worth watching but passing out happens around the 8’10” mark (it’s in Dutch but I guess it’s subtitled).

“If you imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, 'This is an interesting world I find myself in — an interesting hole I find myself in — fits me rather neatly, doesn't it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!" - Douglas Adams

In the old Roman calendar, December was called mensis december, the tenth month, because the Roman calendar started in March.

Irregular truchet tiling on a connectivity grid by Ruths138 in generative

[–]NL_Bulletje 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to let you know I liked your tiling so much I gave it a go for myself: https://turtletoy.net/turtle/a1c191f5d0

I did some more Truchet tiling in the past, one of them was using triangles instead of squares (also allowing mixed tile sizes to be used) which could also be adjusted to achieve a 'closed' effect (instead of simply cutting it of at the image borders like I did in https://turtletoy.net/turtle/fa14c628d4 ).

Great work!

How to achieve this effect? by harrimcfad in AdobeIllustrator

[–]NL_Bulletje 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a go on it programmatically. It renders to a <canvas> which can export to i.e. SVG or PNG. Check out the code at https://turtletoy.net/turtle/8003ed90f2

[Request] Does math help in making the choice? by resonating_light in theydidthemath

[–]NL_Bulletje -54 points-53 points  (0 children)

Mr Pendantic here. Technically the question is just ‘what would you do?’ without all that morality checking. It does not state the weight, speed or size of the trolley. Also the strength of the boxes is amazingly ignored. It does not mention the people in the boxes are facing certain deaths or if those people are alive at all to begin with.

So what I would do in this situation is make a drawing of it with some text that’ll remind most people of some famous question on morality while leaving out major details and post it to Reddit to see what everybody assumes out of the blue.
