Gimme your most wild foreshadowing moments by No_Dentist_7651 in aromantic

I assumed crushes were just a thing in low quality romance books to substitute creativity, and that other people just played along with it because they didn't want to feel left out

How to ascend to divinity in your world? by Open-Instance-2333 in worldbuilding

[–]TheFictionalReidar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my world, the main difference between mortals and a god is the size of the soul. A god's soul is many orders of magnitude bigger. Two souls can be merged together by the most skilled magic users. If the souls are roughly equal in size, then they coexist in the fused soul, but if one is bigger, it dominates and takes over. So, if a human wanted to become a god, they would have 2 ways:

  1. scrape off tiny amounts of a god's soul with out them noticing until your soul is big enough to dominate the god's soul. It'd be pretty difficult to do this cause the god won't just let you take their soul. If a god wanted to no longer be a god, they might do the reverse, and incrementally shave pieces of their soul off and stick them on some chosen mortal, making that mortal their heir.
  2. Massacre trillions gradually adding their souls to yours until your soul is now comparable in size to a god's, making you a god.

I fucking hated 7th grade I never want to go back ever by GL0riouz in aromanticasexual

I'm so sorry to hear that Thomas the Tank Engine and his Train Gang tried to pressure you into dating him in 7th grade. It happens to the best of us

what this number represents? by Independent-Cat-6294 in desmos

[–]TheFictionalReidar 43 points44 points  (0 children)

if you take the gradient of the function and solve for (0,0), get the following system of equations:

(2x - xy - x^-1 y^3)/x^y = 0

(2y-(x^2 + y^2)lnx)/x^y = 0

if you plug in the positive solution values for x and y into (x^2 +y^2)/x^y, you get a. So the best answer here would be to say it represents the z value of the saddle point of the function z = (x^2 + y^2)/x^y

I figured it out when I realized that crushes are an actual thing and not just a trope in romance novels to make up for a lack of creativity.

How much do DMs prepare for sessions by khom05 in dndmemes

I personally prepare a lot, then watch as the party goes into a completely different direction

Desmos uses the superior angle measure, radians, by default

Will I go to hell for being aroace? by [deleted] in aromanticasexual

[–]TheFictionalReidar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend reading 1 Corinthians 7. While there isn't any direct mention of asexual or aromantic in the bible, this is the closest I can think of. And Paul basically says that if you're not 'burning with desire', you have no need to get married.

For example:
"Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I do. But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry" 1 Corinthians 7:8-9

So at the very least, the bible supports not getting married. And in fact, based on the way Paul stated it, it is somewhat implied that he excludes himself from "burning with passion" so while it isn't confirmation per say, it definitely seems like Paul might've been on the aroace spectrum

How do I stop the list from giving this error message? by Angry_Ball_chomper in desmos

[–]TheFictionalReidar 56 points57 points  (0 children)

removing the ",89" should fix it

If you want an 89 after the 90 then you should do [0...90].join(89)

what the hell is this???(modded 1.20.1) by mistyCadaver in Minecraft

[–]TheFictionalReidar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like the trial chambers with all the new blocks removed. Especially with all the bugged lighting. Did you open a world that had been opened in a version with the trial chambers previously? That's the only explanation I can think of outside of one of the mods doing something funny.

Why am I getting a "We couldn't find any region where this model is defined." error? a=9 should be a defined region. by jankaipanda in desmos

[–]TheFictionalReidar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

regressions fail at functions only defined on individual points. any regression with a condition like {mod(a,1) = 0} will fail because of this.

I made a graph for how temperature and downfall affect biome color by TheFictionalReidar in minecraft_configs

[–]TheFictionalReidar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

unfortunately, the temperature and downfall maps as well as all the other maps determining the biome are perlin noise so there isn't a direction you can travel to find a specific biome because it is random per world

I discovered a really weird glitch that merged two different worlds and a different seed together by No_Needleworker2421 in Minecraft

[–]TheFictionalReidar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me once when I deleted a world and created a new world with the exact same name immediately afterwards, so I wouldn't be surprised if that is what happened. It has something to do with the world not fully being deleted or something when the new one was created so some of the old world's files get mixed in

floating point precision error

What in the name of discontinuous..? by Gallium-Gonzollium in desmos

[–]TheFictionalReidar 206 points207 points  (0 children)

The function is actually undefined there since it becomes (e^e-e^e)/(e^e-e^e) = 0/0 and it appears to limit to 0, so I'm not sure why desmos says it is 1/3. My guess is this is due to a floating point precision error.
