40 Captivating Facts that will make Mathematics Amusing!

Fact 1 The root of the term mathematics is in the Greek word Mathema (μάθημα), which was used quite generally in early writings to indicate any subject of instruction or study. Fact 2 A baker’s dozen is a group of 13. Fact 3 Johann Rahn introduced the division symbol, known as the obelus, in 1659. This symbol took the form of a horizontal line with a dot above and below it (÷) and was…

What Joe Biden and Kamala Harris did in 2024.

I started this project back in January and for most of a year, every week, I came up with the highlights of what the Biden-Harris Administration did. I did it because it felt to me our media and national conversion was broken, our government was doing huge things that it felt like almost no one knew about. It's amazing how often I struggled to find a single news source that wanted to cover a huge life changing project.

This is the last Friday before Election Day, and if you haven't already voted, take a minute to go back and look at the last 40 weeks, and decide, do you like these things or want literally the reverse on every issue.

CIPHER CULT KICKSTARTER DOWN TO THE LAST 17 HOURS!

(as of 11:00 pm EST on Thurs. March 21st. Meaning, it should end between 4:00pm-4:30pm EST on Friday, March 22nd. I don't know the exact time that it will end.)

The most important piece of info in the latest update (from tonight) is:

"Unfortunately we will not be using Backerkit as our post Kickstarter third party survey. So you will not be able to add-on your order after the campaign ends. Both KS and Backerkit combined will take too much of a percentage, so that is why we are putting up the last two products mentioned above now. We appreciate your understanding in this."

Campaign backers are often used to being able to add items to their pledge after the campaign ends, when they are confirming their pledge. However, the above statement makes it sound like NOW, before the campaign ends tomorrow (Friday 3/22/24) is the ONLY time you will be able to add on any of the extra items shown above.

This is pretty crucial info! So if you have pledged and were thinking about adding on later, NOW is the time to do that.

CARLANDO AUSTRALIA GP 2024 EDITION !

1. 22nd March 24': new carlando video challenge is being filmed, carlando having breakfast together yesterday, lando hanging out with carlos³. lando being carlos's first choice, lando wearing a carlando bracelet. ln⁴ shipping carlando. heart eyes mfs. carlando drought is over!!! ♥️🧡. lando predicting a "leclerc" pole or a carlos pole position for quali. lando calling carlos “carlitos”

2. 23rd March 24': carlos takes p2 in quali, lando p3 in quali after checo gets a grid penalty of 3 places.

3. 24th March 24':

• carlando subtle fist bumping. way too subtle but on point. (ref: carlando fist bump)

• carlando 1-3!! first carlando podium of 2024! and podium celebrations!

• another cinematic hug. they're incapable of hugging like normal people.

• carlos's hand on the back of lando's head even after he pulled away from the hug.

• adam and zak congratulating carlos.

• lando literally dragging his chair to sit closer to carlos in the cooldown room.

• lando helping him onto the podium

• lando's smile when carlos lifts his trophy.

• lando calling their shared podium as “...ehh romantic?” aha! it is. (i am not making this up. 😭)

• lando telling everyone how he knows carlos and understands what he's capable of putting forth and thereby doesn't think carlos is a underrated irrespective of how it looks from the outside of the sport. there's charles's answer in this too, but this clip is truly the highlight of my day. (ref: this clip) .

• lando and papa sainz (im also pretty sure there's two other pictures, but I'm just keeping the photo limit in mind) and also this clip (lando being an honourary sainz member part 554! 😌)

• papa norris reposting the hug in his stories. (ref: clip. )

• joint posts return! lando calling carlos “carlitos”. carlos reshares it in his story with #CARLANDOOO (which is ironically the way he calls lando..the triple O's). lando liking caco's comment. lando's song choice is quite... interesting 👁️👁️ (song: prove it; 21 savage feat summer walker)

Hi Peach!

I hope you are doing well

I just seen your reblog about the DS Mark and in the tags you had mentioned WWII

I hope this isn’t nosey but I was just wondering what your theory/explanation about the war was as I was curious to see if we had the same thoughts about it

My headcannon is that Sanemi and Giyuu survive the mark but I always pictured them passing away during the war in their early 50s

X

Okay! Theory time! Slight spoilers for KNY ahead.

So first and foremost, we never have proof that the curse is actually real — it’s a theory. we never get direct confirmation that the 25 thing is true. The Corps does not have a good track record when it comes to life expectancy. Muzan is also not a reliable source — he has an ulterior motive in baiting Tanjiro to become his new vessel.

But even setting that aside, the “dead before 25” thing just isn’t feasible — especially for Sanemi and Giyuu. To break it down, let’s take a look at the canonical timeline and both men’s ages at the end of the series:

When we first meet Giyuu/Sanemi, both are 21 years old. Following @demonslayedher ‘s timeline (which is wonderful and the most accurate I’ve seen), the final battle with Muzan happens a few months later, most likely in January.

We don’t for sure whether Sanemi or Giyuu is older than the other — as in, we don’t know who turned 21 first. Sanemi very well could be 22 by the time the final battle happens and we know Giyuu has his 22nd birthday between the end of the battle and Tanjiro regaining consciousness (the timeline estimates Tanjiro wakes up sometime in March if I remember correctly). That means either Sanemi is 21 at that time (to turn 22 months later) or he’s already 22, going on 23 in about eight months time.

We get a year update from Tanjiro (one year after the ending of the main series). this means Sanemi and Giyuu are at least 23, and possibly one of them is 24 (or near that age).

We know, based on the update, that Giyuu and Sanemi are both still adjusting to their new lives post-Demon Slayer Corps. There is no mention either of them have settled down. In fact, at the end of the main series, it appears both are traveling to an extent (enjoying the youth they haven’t experienced).

Applying the “Sanemi and Giyuu die before 25” theory, that means they both have just over a year (at MOST maybe a year and a half or two years) to find a wife and settle down — AND have children. One pregnancy = 9 months, so that shortens their window even more. Why? Because of the epilogue.

We know that both Giyuu and Sanemi have at least one descendant who has carried their surname into the modern age. In a patriarchal society, surnames pass with male children. So not only would Sanemi and Giyuu have less than two years left to find a bride (and I don’t think either of them settle for the first woman who comes along) and impregnate her, but they *also* had to have both had a male child on the first try. Otherwise, there is simply no time for either of them to keep trying for children until they produce a male, which, again, they already lose 9 months with one pregnancy.

I’m not saying this scenario is impossible — but also think about the greater context of history. Demon Slayer is a historical fantasy set during the Taisho Era. Thus, while demons certainly don’t exist in the real world, KNY incorporates much of the history of that time period into its story — the Taisho era setting is almost its own character.

And what happens about 20-ish years after the end of the series? WW2. A time that resulted in massive loss of life to Japanese citizens as a result of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings (plus the war in general).

So, not only would Sanemi and Giyuu both had to have had a male child in the short one year before their theorized deaths, but those male children had to have survived long enough to reproduce with more male children to continue the family name into the modern age. Again, not impossible, but considerably less likely given the historical context, never mind the realities of being a human.

All this to say, to actually apply the 25 theory means a lot of variables have to align perfectly — more so than is almost believable.

TL;DR — it’s a theory at best, but correlation does not equal causation. That slayers who manifested the mark died before 25 isn’t surprising given the context. The mark manifests when the slayer is pushed to their absolute limit — meaning they simply can’t fight any better. It makes sense then that their body gives up, or that they lose especially because everyone’s limit is different. A weaker slayer can manifest the mark and be no where near the strength of a hashira, so it makes sense they die against a demon with the strength of an upper moon.

Simply put, we have no hard confirmation that Sanemi and Giyuu will die before 25 — and even if they did, that undercuts the significance of their own endings, which further casts doubt on its validity.

I could go on about this, but I’m probably rambling. But that’s my summary in general!

[starlightomatic]

I want to talk a little about what it was like to be a Jewish student with ADHD in a public school, and how culturally Christian and neurotypical norms — and the teachers who held up these norms — made things difficult for myself and my peers.

I was in marching band (color guard, specifically) and so was a close friend of mine who’s also Jewish. We often had competitions on Saturdays. That on its own already meant we couldn’t go to synagogue or rest on Shabbat, unlike our peers who could do that on Sunday (and even in public school in a largely “secular” area, it was normal for activities to be on Saturdays and rare for them to be on Sundays).

But anyway. We’d get to a competition in the morning for rehearsal, staging, etc, and then perform in the afternoon. The SATs were also on Saturdays, so on SAT days there’d be a few students missing who’d come join us in the afternoon. My friend, however, had ADHD and I think some learning disabilities and so she got extra time on the SATs. This meant she needed to come even later than the other SAT students, and the band director was mad about this. “But all the other students got here at [x time], why can’t you?” She had to let it go though because my friend couldn’t get there earlier.

Not too long after this, it was Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year. This is a major holiday for us — we go to synagogue (even folks who usually don’t go), eat a big festive meal with our families, etc. Now, it starts in the evening, and we had band practice in the afternoon. So we needed to leave early to make it to synagogue. The band director had looked up when Rosh Hashanah was and tried to give us that evening off, but she got the day wrong. She gave us the second night off.

For me this didn’t really matter, but my aforementioned friend is Reform, and the Reform tradition is to only celebrate the first day. So, my friend still had to ask to leave early to go celebrate Rosh Hashanah, and the band director got mad and said no, because “but I gave you Rosh Hashanah off!” and also because she was still mad at my friend for coming late to the competition due to extra time on the SAT.

My friend had to go to her parents, who had to go to the vice principal in charge of arts and languages, to get this band director to listen.

I also have a memory of staying as late at that practice session as possible so as to miss as little as I could, then being picked up at the field by my mom and changing into my nice synagogue holiday clothes in the car on the way to synagogue.

Another thing, also that year, was that I’d asked my English teacher for extensions on assignments due during Rosh Hashanah. By the rules of our county’s school district we were allowed a two-day extension for religious holidays. If you have ADHD you know two days isn’t enough to both catch up on past work and stay caught up on new work, so you’ll still end up turning things in late and getting points docked, but it’s better than nothing.

The teacher said no (against the rules of the county) because “I have two other Jewish students and they’re turning their work in early, before Rosh Hashanah.” I didn’t know how to say “but they don’t have ADHD. I can’t do that.” My mom had to go in and talk to the teacher until she agreed.

The impression that I got was that having both my neurotype and my Jewishness accommodated was a privilege, and one I was a nuisance for asking for. I got the sense that I needed to choose one: having ADHD or being Jewish. But obviously that’s not how it works.

Only about three months after this, I was in physics class, and the three boys who sat in front of me were complaining about how that year, the last day of school before winter break was December 23rd, rather than the 22nd. It was “too close to Christmas.” Silently, I was incredulous. They not only got both Christmas and Christmas Eve off but an entire week after that, and it still wasn’t enough? Where were they trying to go for Christmas that they needed more than 24 hours to get there?

They definitely had never had to change from their band practice clothes into their church clothes in the car because the gap between practice and Christmas was the 30 minutes it took to drive from school to church, and even getting that gap took asking for permission. No, they were mad because a full day’s gap wasn’t enough!

I think it just really threw into relief for me how their baseline expectation was to have space made for the rhythms of their lives and culture, and how mine was to beg for scraps.

And all of this added extra stress to my life. My friend and I, as neurodivergent students in a rigorous high school, were already under a lot of stress and did not need the added difficulties of having to fight with faculty (who should have been supporting us) for reasonable accommodations. We should have been allowed to just focus on schoolwork, extracurriculars, and, yes… on our cultural heritage too.

[daily-kabru]

The Dungeon Exploration Review entries for Kabru and his party from March 20th to the 22nd. On the 20th, they encounter treasure insects and get wiped out. On the 21st, they get wiped out by fish-men, kill hostile corpse retrievers, and get saved by Shuro’s party. On the 22nd they accompany Shuro’s party and continue their expedition. There is no additional description for their journey in the month of March.

If anyone is wondering why the pictures are sideways it’s because Japanese is meant to be read up to down and then go left to the next panel, which is very different from English which is intended to be read left to right and then go down to go to the next panel. The English translation is oriented to match how English is read but the pictures were not flipped to match. Hopefully that makes sense!

I was originally going to just put the entry for the 22nd, but it was too small to be cropped by itself and it had no picture of Kabru, so I decided to just include all of the March entries. I think that’s the way I’ll do all of the Dungeon Exploration Review entries to make things easier.

1108: Facts and observations

•Day 0

1108 started on the 8th of November of 2015.

Jimin uploaded a video of him and Jungkook to twitter:

On the 26th of January 2016, Jk uploaded a small snippet of a song he was covering.

•Day 100

And on the 15th of February of 2016, Jk uploaded the entire song Nothing Like Us and noted to listen to the lyrics as they were expressing what he wanted to say:

In Korean culture, parents celebrate 100 days after a child is born. This is to indicate that the child made it through the first vulnerable phase in their life. In the same manner, the 100 days are celebrated by Korean couples.

And this is what Jk had to say 100 days after the 8th of November of 2015:

There's nothing like us There's nothing like you and me Together through the storm There's nothing like us There's nothing like you and me together, oh

•Day 366 (1 year)

On 08/11/2016, a year later, Jimin posted another video of them:

•Day 732 (2 years)

On Oct. 28, 2017, Jungkook treated Jimin to a trip to Tokyo. It was because of this trip, that Jungkook released gcfTokyo on Nov. 08, 2017.

A fan used the images in the video and was able to determine the hotel and room jikook stayed at. It was room number 1108.

The video also used the song There For You by Troye Sivan:

Boy, I'm holdin' onto something Won't let go of you for nothing I'm runnin', runnin' just to keep my hands on you There was a time that I was so blue What I got to do to show you? I'm runnin', runnin' just to keep my hands on you

Day 811

On the 26th of January 2018, in a Japanese fancafe, Jimin gifted Jungkook a drawing of a set of champagne glasses and a bottle. Note the details of the glasses.

•Day 900

On the 25th of April 2018, a day before the 900 day milestone, Jimin had a vlive where it was obvious he wasn't alone in the room. He kept looking to the side, laughing shyly and explained:

After he said this, you can hear someone whisper, "Jimin."

Day 1000

On August 3rd 2018, Jk posted a selfie while they were all filming BV3:

During BV3, jikook were able to look around the city alone, and have a boat date under the moonlight.

Day 1013

As you all may know 10:13 is also known as Jimin ssi, or Jimin time. It only makes sense that this day would be special to jikook too.

On the 16th of August 2018, Jimin tweeted a series of 3 tweets:

Jungkook was the only member that appeared in the photos with Jimin. It is also interesting to note the 2 butterfly temporary tattoos he had on his hand.

This is the same time when they had the photoshoot with the inflatable unicorn:

The next day, Jimin uploaded a tweet with the caption "Love Ya", and one of the photos was him and Jk.

•Day 1141

On the 22nd of December 2018, when fans uploaded their selfies on fancafe, the fans let Jk know that Jimin had uploaded his own:

This prompted Jk to type "JIMINNNN" and he signed off. He later uploaded a song that he stopped at 1:18:

You take my mind away When you touch me that way This place, your face It gets hard to breathe I know you're feeling me now You're all I see Almost like we're dreaming

•Day 1394

On the 1st of September 2019, Jk made 2 tweets. One in which uploaded a snippet of Decalcamonia, which he also ended on 1:18:

•Day 1500

On the 16th of Dec 2019, Jimin posted a good night tweet:

The time he uploaded this was at 1:50.

•Day 2300

On Feb 22, 2022, Jk uploaded a story on insta where he is in a car, listening to So Good by Joan. The story was labeled 23:08 even though he uploaded it at 1:24 am.

You and me Got a lotta tension, not even to mention Ooh, that night, just two weeks ago It was half past ten Thinking about living, suddenly when you walked it You took my breath away

•Day 2315

On March 10, 2022, during the Permission to Dance Concert, Jimin used the 2315 numbers and stated the following:

2315 days had passed since November 8, 2015.

•Day 2545

On the 26th of October 2022, Jk uploaded a photo of himself while he was in Qatar. He uploaded the photo at 11:08 Korea time and, 5:08 Qatar time.

•Day 2643

On the 2nd of February 2023, Jimin answered a question on weverse at exactly 23:08. The question is now deleted.

•Day 2684

During Jungkook hosted a series of lives on White Day, 14th of March 2022. His first live was started at 8:11 pm:

During these lives, Jk changed to various outfits and had an extensive playlist. One of the songs that was included was There For You.

•Day 2855

On the 1st of September 2023, Jk hosted a short live to thank the fans for being present with him during so many birthdays. He ended his live quickly and it lasted 8:56 minutes:

My impressions

Based on Korean customs, celebrating different day milestones is typical in a Korean couple.

While some may think that jikook started dating on the 8th of November 2015, I think that's when they decided to be intimate with each other.

I feel like a jikook kiss had already happened since the last time Jimin asked Jk for a kiss publicly was in September 2015 for Jk's birthday. From there, one can only think that things proceeded quite quickly.

I think that in recent years, we have observed less mentions of 1108 because of BTS' popularity and so many fans expecting something from jikook.

It's possible that jikook has decided to not make these milestones known like they did before, but every now and then, they still reference that number. Who knows when they will do it again.

But who is counting, right?

[desmos-calculator]

I was thinking about those posts I sometimes see about dates being an equation (you know the ones), and was thinking, is there a year where that happens the least? maybe even one where it doesn't happen?

Well, I don't think I'd be qualified to cover every function that uses two inputs, and I would assume every function is quite a few and probably would cover every day

So, I'll be sticking to the basic 4,+,-,× and ÷, since that's what I see most common with those posts

First step is to get a list of all the dates (I should clarify, from the Gregorian calendar, since that's the most common dating system I see from those posts), which is pretty easy, just make it yourself! you know how the months work... right?

right?

Anyways, we have a list now! two, in fact, so we can put our days and months separately

Now, we just apply the functions and,

meh, could be prettier, now, we gotta consider that negative years don't exist yet, less so something like XX negative 19, so those extra spots below, gotta go

We also need to consider that years such as XX 100 would theoretically someday exist, but we're just gonna assume you're only looking at the last 2 digits, so, BEGONE!

And don't forget about the year XX 02.75, that was the best year... for all of us that used a different calendar system, so I'm going to need to ask you numbers to LEAVE!

And that should be all the house keeping we need to do, let's collapse em down

woooah, coolio, let's color them based on the group come from

preeeetty, someone should crochet that

Now, you may think "Hey, he left out my favourite day, [February 29th], How could he????!!!!!"

Well, 2+29=31, which can't be a leap year, 2-29 is negative, so no, not possible, 2/29 is a fraction, and 2*29=58, which is NOT a leap year

so, to anyone guessing dates that can never work, congrats, you won!

we can also see what years work with each function

with division ending the lowest, since all it does is decrease, we find the last date to be XX14, on 28th February, ironic. sorry y'all didn't notice it til it was too late.

for subtraction? the last date will be... 30th January 2029! Get your cakes (uh, funeral cakes?) ready for the last date possible for subtraction in.... 4 years time?!?! jesus, time flies, huh?

uhmm, for addition, we find the final day to be 30th December XX42! woa

and the multiplication goes til the end, being the year XX99, dated November 9th...... ANYWAYS

the year of most functional dates will be XX12 with the dates:

11th Jan (11+1=12), 12th Jan(12*1=12), 13th Jan(13-1=12),

6th Feb (6*2=12), 10th Feb (10+2=12), 14th Feb (14-2=12),

24th Feb (24/2=12), 4th March (4*3=12), 9th March (9+3=12),

15th March (15-3=12), 3rd April (3*4=12), 8th April (8+4=12),

16th April (16-4=12), 7th May (7+5=12), 17th May (17-5=12),

2nd June (2*6=12), 6th June (6+6=12), 18th June (18-6=12),

5th July (5+7=12), 19th July (19-7=12), 4th August (4+8=12),

20th August (20-8=12), 3rd September (3+9=12),

21st September (21-9=12), 2nd October (2+10=12),

22nd October (22-10=12), 1st November (1+11=12),

23rd November (23-11=12), 1st December (1*12=12),

and finally... 24th December (24-12=12)

awesome

the years with no days are all primes after XX43, since if it had any factors, it'd work for multiplication

except, I lied, XX58, XX62, XX74, XX82, XX86 and XX94 are all not prime, yet have 0 days, since they're divisible by 2 but the other factor is bigger than 30

except, I lied again, XX58 is actually the only one with a potentially real day, being february 29, as we mentioned earlier.

"BUT WAIT, WHAT ABOUT m/d/y? WHAT ABOUT THE AMERICAN SYSTEM?!?!"

hghhghghg

graaaaah, the division section barely exists

woah, separation, around the x=y line too, with the same shape no less

except, BOOM, i lied to you, AGAIN.

you see, this shape is actually skinner than the original one

you actually only lose potential dates by switching to the other system, and here's how many you lose

The years that lose the most are XX13, XX14, XX15 with 13 missing days, and we'll reach a consensus for amount of days working with math in XX32! the perfect number to end on

but also, this system gives us our earliest year ending with a multiplicative date, being 1st December XX12 (XX12 was a great year for functions, huh)

So, when's the next functional date? well, we missed 13th November, so mark your calendars for 12th December!!

So, what did we learn?

Well, I mean, I guess you can brag about knowing when the next date that's a math equation.

and also the tragedy that is 29th February XX58...

Suggest other calendar systems, and I'll look into them!
