Everyone is eventually going to die.

That's only an unfun fact if you make it one.

There are physicist, respected ones, that believe the universe is deterministic. That we don’t have free will.

And psychologists that believe that feeling of consciousness is a result of the brain developing a self-supervising function for higher order thinking.

Essentially free will is just an illusion.

What difference does it make?

[-] NightAuthor@beehaw.org 7 points 1 year ago

Well, if true, it doesn’t make any difference. Because it always was and always will be. Nothing makes any difference.

But in another way, it’s kinda neat. I guess it’s simultaneously a not fun fact, and a fun fact.

355/113 is the best fractional approximation of pi with less than 5 digits on both numerator and denominator, with 6 decimal digits of precision. It is constructed by taking the sequence of the first 3 odd numbers, each repeated exactly once, as such: "113355", then splitting the resulting string in halves, taking the first half as denominator, and the second as numerator.

A 4-set venn diagram can't be constructed with circles because it wouldn't show exclusive intersections between opposed sets.

A talks to B, B talks to C; A is married, C is not married. Therefore, a married person is talking to a non-married person.
