Remember folks: weather models are based on historical data. As climate change forces weather patterns to break from their historical norms, weather predictions based on previous models will become increasingly inaccurate.
Though the local, short term predictions shouldn’t be that affected so I have no clue why Siri tells me “it doesn’t look like it will rain today” while there’s literally rain falling outside my window…

Guillotines could cut the economy in half too; I think we may be ready for that
Mechanical Engineering. Firstly because I am already studying it, but it’s also a super broad field, so if I’m an expert in all of it, I’ve just become an expert in like a dozen different fields.
Aerospace, biomedical, materials science, robotics, mechatronics, fluid dynamics, dynamic systems & controls, nuclear energy and all the other energy production types like fusion, even some branches in quantum computing and weird physics like Alcubierre drives.
Sure maybe it’s limited to the extent of where those fields are now, but I basically just became an expert in all of human technology.
If it wasn’t clear, I’m well aware of the unlikelihood of the situation. But what’s the harm in believing such? I mean it’s not like either of them is going to come back from the dead and say: “Actually, we argued about the internal weight distribution from astronaut motion, how it would effect the natural frequency of the capsule, and if that effect would be significant enough to need accounting for, not racism.”
Pi as in math like Euler’s identity, cannot be changed. It arises from the definition of e and imaginary numbers, both of which arise from the natural numbers which arise directly from axioms.
Pi as in the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter, however, could be changed, in which case you would change the fundamental geometry of space. This would be neither hyperbolic nor spherical space because those spaces still use the mathematical pi for determining angles (along with hyperbolic trig functions of course).
The geometry would likely be much closer to Chebyshev or Taxicab space since the ratio of circumference to diameter in those spaces is 4 (I think…). Because of this, I suspect that using a distance function like in Chebyshev or Manhattan but with a triangular grid instead of a square one would yield this exact situation where geometric pi=3. This would be confusing as hell but now I’m curious and have coincidentally already started exploring the concept of metric spaces so I’ll look into it. Though I’ll probably get distracted and forget…
Edit: Found it, Chebyshev distance on hexagonal grid would give a circumference/diameter ratio of 3. So a metric space with a distance function like that is the geometry you want.
Fun fact, my grandfather was a leading engineer on the Saturn V and other aerospace projects, and according to my dad he apparently got into arguments with Von Braun. Considering the line of work and knowing some of my grandfather’s written down arguments from that time, it’s likely these arguments were more about random physics than anything else, but I like to think it was about von Braun being a Nazi piece of shit.
I do know my grandparents were very against segregation to the chagrin of their neighbors, so it’s not entirely unlikely right?
This is the second best benefit of my meds. I can keep lists now and actually just do things, so if I feel this way I just start making a list of all the major to-do things I can think of and a list of all the stuff I kind of feel like I should do. Just putting it into a list helps because I then feel more confident I know what needs to get done. Plus I can break down the big things into smaller steps now which is useful.
I definitely tried doing this kind of stuff before getting medicated but it didn’t work. Gotta love how every piece of advice for dealing with ADHD shit only is an option if you don’t have ADHD to begin with.
I mean I’d definitely be curious to try it, but I’m not the biggest fan of eggs to begin with, and it’s likely these would be useful for recipes that normally call for multiple eggs rather than like an egg on toast and what not.
However, I’d like to note that if humans are laying eggs at like the rate chickens lay eggs, I guarantee you people would be eating them and it wouldn’t be as weird as it is from our current perspective. If half the population is laying one egg a day—with most being unfertilized—what the fuck are we going to do with all these eggs?
The most efficient option is probably for the producer to eat the egg because that’s a ton of nutrients you just lost for no reason. But would you want to eat the same food every day? Probably not, even if it is mixed with other things. If you could sell it and buy food you actually wanted, that’s probably the better option.
If we assume this kind of laying daily laying is commonplace, certain human cultures probably would already have traditional meals using human eggs because again if half the people in your society are laying like a kilo of viable nutrients and you just let them go to waste, that’s not really evolutionarily advantageous. Though, I should note most likely humans wouldn’t lay eggs this frequently because I think that might be a result of domestication. Anyway it would be kind of interesting to have to have artifacts that are like made of human egg shells. People might keep fragments of their children’s hatching shells which would be kind of odd.
Also laying, even if infrequent, would be fucking annoying and I’d imagine birth control pills that just stop you from laying eggs would be very widely used. I can also imagine influencers marketing their eggs to fans a la gamer girl bath water which is not a thought I wanted to have today so thanks for that. Oh also people saying they can tell if someone is a virgin or a slut (the only two categories for these idiotic comparisons) by how their eggs look would probably be a thing because people are stupid like that already. Though hey Easter egg painting could be fun with huge eggs you can actually like paint on.
Anyway, to the people who mentioned this making more people uncomfortable eating other animals eggs, I disagree.
If laying eggs happens frequently and was a thing that had been happening for a while, I’d assume many people would not find it odd to eat the eggs, especially in the like autocannibalism way. And if it was commonplace to eat human eggs, people would probably be less averse to eating other animals eggs not more disgusted by it.
“Why would Nixon, an awkward and unpleasant man, suddenly want to throw a party, one of the most social events imaginable? It’s a trap is why! Don’t go Bender! Nixon’s going to deactivate all the robots!”

“Why with the no gasping?”
“We all figured that out.”
“Oh.”
Utah shouldn’t be in the lower category. People definitely drive cars and four wheelers out onto Fish Lake when it is frozen over.
Speaking of, I really miss walking on it when frozen and hearing all the fractures in the super thick ice go do-do-do-do as they echo across the lake.
“Oh Bender, you didn’t touch the Crushinator did you?”
“Of course not. A lady that fine you gotta romance first.”
