@futurebird @rallias @Meowthias Well, the number of sides never repeats in the set of all N-sided polygons? 
(Edit: why'd I say vertices?)

What is a math concept or theorem that you wish there were a better explanation of? -
What is a math concept or theorem that you wish there were a better explanation of?@rallias @futurebird @Meowthias Would it be fair then to say, that the "infinite precision" of Pi could be read as a direct consequence of trying to calculate the ratios of an "infinite set" - that is, the set of all N-sided polygons?
That would make some sense as an explanation, to me.

I am now of the opinion that everyone with testicles should get a vasectomy at 18 and have it reversed if they want kids so bad.@vjgoh Not reliably reversible, for starters

I know what—I have an even worse business plan!@zarfeblong @cstross Probably it'll have an optimised sleep instruction, given that's what it'll spend most of its time doing because of heat buildup

Since I got laid off from my Human-Centered Design job due to our government contract getting DOGE'd I've had lots of people say, "You're in tech, you should get a job in AI."@xiann Reminds me of how the English word for what happened in Ireland was "famine" but what actually happened was "rich colonists crushed the Irish land-area so only potatoes could yield enough to survive, then made them homeless and exported the other foods when the crop failed".
The Irish word is "Gorta Mór" - approx. "great ungenerousity". We could see what was happening.
But the history books recorded it as the ruling class framed it: overpopulation, foolishness, unfortunate.
