    Because maths likes to both confuse and infuriate

    Because repeating decimals that don’t terminate are very very very bothersome.

    Was the fruit orange named after the color orange, or was the color orange named after the fruit orange? Or are the oranges secretly the same exact thing?

    I’d guess we named the fruit first because it seems unlikely that we’d need to clarify colors in basic language, but we WOULD need to talk about food. Just a guess with no background knowledge

    Or a generation gap issue about what change actually looks like and some abuse of authority once the vote has been cast.. cause the “smart people” aren’t aware they’re basing their vote off only a 50/50 chance at ever seeing the changes promised. It’s really not the peoples fault. Not like they can see the future..

    Why did someone wake up and think "F**k it, I'm going to create a whole new type of math" I'm looking at you, Euler. No one needs imaginary numbers.

    How was curd first created? Like did the lactobacillus just popped out of nowhere in someone's milk and created curd?

    Are things that are written in braille in the same context/language? Or does each language have their own braille alphabet?
