Plagued Consoomers / Consoomer Culture - Because if it has a recogniseable brand on it, I’d buy it!

I am going to give the benefit of the doubt and say the Teachers that pushed Pi day. Were all Science teachers who actually cared and liked science.
Making science fun for elementary schoolers makes sense, it's why they have them make little fake volcanoes.


Just leaving this here. Happy Pi Day.
 
Pi should just be changed to "3" and celebrated all March.

The popularization of Pi Day is a a billion times worse than Mario day, it's nothing but Pop Science bullshit that nobody gave a shit about until twitter rolled around so you could make a hashtag out of it.
Nah man, the math teacher educational complex is responsible for the Pi Day psy op, this goes way back before Twitter even existed.

Look into it.
Pi day is barely celebrated by math teachers. I remember one teacher mentioning Pi day as a joke when I was in school. It's really only celebrated by psuedo-intellectuals who watch the Big Bang Theory. The really spirit of Pi day isn't about pie. It's about finding the circumference of circles and shit.
Got a pretty hilarious email today from NYT cooking, that unironically calls Pi day a near religiously solemn day for lovers of Soyence ™️ above Purim, Holi and St Patrick’s day.

If I'm there, I paid to get in. This is the shit I wouldn't even pull in Roller Coaster Tycoon because I thought it was too evil.
Ok, as far as parks go, I actually would love to check out the Ghibli one they're building.
No rides, period-accurate construction, a promise not to cut down existing trees... sounds nice.
 
If you’re a scientist/engineer you probably prefer DDMMYYYY over MMDDYYYY as the former is monotonically increasing.

You then have 22/07, more accurate than 3.14, more historically relevant as an estimate and an actual working joke (since the slash in a date is used)

Fixed that for you, my friend.

YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss.SSS enjoyer here, I prefer that alphabetical sort also work chronologically for things like files.

"Were"

Now it's just Bill Nye dick suckers and "lol im so nerdy" types that can't actually do basic addition without a calculator.

It’s worth mentioning that YYYYMMDD is the standard in much of Asia if you want to get really pedantic.
You mean the correct date format.

science is tedious and unrewarding, much like art is something where everyone mistakes the enjoyment of consooming a final product with having some insight of the field but at the end of the day only a small percentage of people are wired to actually find fulfilment studying in those topics in depth, for the rest all that Pop science generates are smug fedora wearing redditors who feel like technology experts for owning an iphone. People don't get smarter the science discussion becomes dumber, "the 8 hottest Hollywood celebrities according to soy-ence ". "Government good. trust the current program and eat the bugs, science says"
 
Pop science is one of the worst things to happen to western civilization. It breeds a certain type of stupid. There have always been know-it-alls but there's dopes now that think watching Bill Nye or Neil Degrasse Tyson makes them the smartest person in the room.

They are the perfect audience for pop science. They think because they learned some obscure fact about the rings of Saturn and can rattle it off at parties, that makes them smart. There's no critical thinking or stopping to ask how or why. These are the type of people that talk about what genius Tesla was and how Edison was a fraud but don't have the faintest fucking idea how power generation works.

When the topic comes up the engineers in my family (i.e. everyone older than 18 but me) joke about Tau day (6/28 ) because thats far more useful than pi day.

It's the nerd archetype. They obsess over a certain subject and then use their knowledge of that subject to adopt a certain status as "intelligentsia". No matter how much trivia you memorize, it is no equal to actual intelligence and understanding Its funny to see these types run into actual experts who are enthusiastic about the subject because they are quickly proven to be quacks really.

All nerds need to be hanged.
 
I wonder if the blue and green milk have their own taste like one is mint and the other one berry flavoured? Or if it's really only food colouring, which would be very sad.
Images aren't working so I can't post the photo, but here's my source: https://wdwnt.com/2019/09/ingredien...rved-at-milk-stand-in-star-wars-galaxys-edge/
So neither of them actually contain milk. They're both vegan "milks" made of sugar (first ingredient), rice milk and coconut oil.
The blue has pineapple, lime, dragonfruit, and watermelon flavoring. The green has passionfruit, grapefruit, mandarin, and orange.
Blue is flavored with spirulina and green is colored with beta carotene.

It's basically poison.
 
The worst part about this is that you don’t even live in a nice place. You’ll live in Orlando, you’re next to EPCOT and that’s it. Fucking terrible city, capital of consoomerism and hot and humid all year. Can’t even swim in the lakes because you’ll die from alligators, flesh-eating bacteria, or Disney World sewage. Did I mention the hurricanes too? Why would you choose to live here?
