Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Pi is just a constant. Call it C.

You can multiply C by the number of Tutankanmandong.

Has nothing to do with if you measure with a wheel or a ruler or a string or 27 donkey penises.

But yeah, if you really want, we can divide anything by pi. Or e. Or any other constant, pick one.

Of course we can, but if we decide to divide by Pi, can we also end up with an integer in ancient units of measure as is said in the article? A wheel makes sense. Some mythical aliens coming down from hundreds of light years is statistically very unlikely.

You are one dumb motherfucker.

Sarcasm goes over your head, with the vroom of a Doppler shift.
