With polar coordinates and Fourier transforms, you can draw the outlines of tons of figures. But you can’t go back. Imagine that you can go with your pen around the center in only one direction, but any distance from the center.

Yes. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_coordinate_system

Since this curve is cyclical, you can do it [-infinity ; +infinity] and it’s the same curve again and again.

Study suggests people make smelling sounds out of their arse.

What the actual fuck.

I love the musics. After finishing the game, I played the main theme in my car again and again and again.

Also, I think that mirrors the marketshare of devices used to browse the Internet. More and more phones, less and less computers.

Oh crap. You are right. Now I feel angry if this is fake data.

I was maintaining a custom autoexec.bat just for TIE Fighter.

I wanted to know the date of this comic. It was issued in Eightball #5, February 1991.

24 (TV series) is like this if I remember well. The daughter would have had a cellphone now.

Sexy

I spearfish and my phone gives me random pictures of dead fishes. And cooked fishes.

A friend has been challenged when trying to bring a nordic cheese (from Norway to France). The TSA equivalent said that it could be liquid if hot enough. Yeah… glasses too.

It looks like AI images. Perfect woman with a big smile and doing a strange thing.

Let’s make microplancton plastic toys.

Wait. What about microplastics in the oceans ?

What?! It isn’t?

Some wasps are. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tetrapus&diffonly=true

In Europe, we changed to the Euro not that long ago. I was a student and I used to use a shared laundry machine. It was the day before returning to school. I was barely alone in the dorms. Let’s do a laundry !

The machines were updated to get euros. There was another machine just to change the coins, especially since the washing machines only took one kind of coin (20 cents).

I put one fresh euro in the exchange machine, expecting to get 5 coins of 20 cents.

Tching. Tching. Tching. Tching. Tching. <pause>… Tching. Tching. Tching. Tching. Tching. <pause>… Tching. Tching. Tching. Tching. Tching. <pause>…

What ?! The machine was buggy and would not stop. I grabbed a hoodie to put the coins in it. Soon, it was not enough. After what seems to be an eternity I was there with around 50€ and kilos of coins.

What am I seeing?

LAN parties. I remember the first time I could connect two PC together. It was Doom, with a serial-to-serial cable. We were two players on the same fucking map. It was awesome!

Then coax cable networks with friends. We used to have two or three different networks during a LAN party since you could not disconnect the coax cable to add a player without stopping the current games. The players arrived later would plug a new network just for them, and launch a game waiting the first players to finish theirs.
