PLEASE CHECK THIS OUT. Our own Aeronmelon is going through some shit at the moment and could use some help. Check it out here and consider an upvote or a comment to push it into activity. Sorry, not something I do often or will be spamming. But I care about my friend and if I can get a couple more eyes on his situation then I'm going to try to do what I can.
I'm fine with being stupid

If you’re free to put the center vertex anywhere, then I’d think you could position it to avoid that…

That scutoid (possibly all of them, I don't know) is just a pentagonal prism with a corner cut off.

I'm not sure.
My doctor always says that I'm out of shape, so I'm sure I should get a new one

We already have all the shapes we need. Square. Circle. Octagon. Tetrahedron. Tesseract. Penis.
That's enough shapes.

Did you just skip Hexagons?! Hexagons are the Bestagons!
krooklochurm@lemmy.ca · 10 pts · 298d
Octagons and hexagons are the same thing. It's right there in the name. Gon. It's okay, many people think they're different shapes, it's a very very common misconception.

The area is very easy to calc, its only adding clear poligons, basic geometry. Somewhat harder to calculate the volumen of this thing.

betanumerus@lemmy.ca · 6 pts · 298d
Volume is also nothing but polygons, where accuracy depends on number of slices.
Or: dump it in a water tub and measure height of water line.

Droggelbecher@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 297d
Given enough time and known lengths, most of my students should be able to calculate the surface area of this by the time they graduate. They'd just split everything into triangles and quadrangles, use the formula for each, then add everything together. It's not that useful of an exercise though, didactically speaking, because once you grasp that process, it's just repetitive and lengthy. There'd have to be a LOT of given values to make this solvable, too.
On a more subjective note, they can also form sentences. They just don't want to when colloquial speech brings the point across just as well and it's an informal setting. The same is true for most people of all ages in my experience.

I thought area was for 2D things, and volume is for 3D things? Or does he mean surface area?

Well there's also the fact that this has more to do with biology than geometry. So this guy's a moron on multiple levels.
Juice@midwest.social · 3 pts · 298d
So how would you calculate this?
betanumerus@lemmy.ca · 7 pts · 298d
You need the length of each edge. Probably some angles too. Make triangles. Double each triangle into a parallelogram. bh/2 for each one. Sum. Mostly just tedious because there are so many.
IzzyScissor@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 298d
It's only 3 pentagons, 1 hexagon, 1 triangle and 3 rectangles for a total of 20 component triangles. Easy!
Fedizen@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 298d
Looks like a pentagon on one side and hexagon on the other, aka soccerball pattern. I would be very surprised if the volumes don't work out close enough just approximating them with [average area of ends] x [length]

They're commenting on the text that I made to two rounds of post trying to help a friend escape an abusive relationship. They're quite angry about it and, in yelling at me for spamming it, has resorted to spamming the same comment over and over again on every post I've made.
foofiepie@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 298d
Looks like you did manage to help them though - so just ignore the troll.
FWIW I’d only seen one of your posts. Glad to see your friend has a a way out.
Stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 7 pts · 298d
Oh I've been around on lemmy for a couple years now and trolls like that aren't exactly a threat. I don't mean to sound full of myself, but I just post way too often for them to even noticed anymore. I usually get sent screenshots or links on Matrix/Discord like "LOL did you see this?" to which I definitely did not. Was just hard to ignore every single post having a single comment on it, something that isn't really that typical for Lemmy. Especially not that quickly. I keep an eye on general trends of things. If people don't like a thing I stop posting the thing. But individual children screaming into the night? Meh. All I see in my head is just a giant filter with [REDDITOR] written over it half the time.
But.
Even if I did give the remotest of a shit about a toddler, I don't care about this circumstance. I post a lot and I made a deal to myself that I'd take two rounds of posting and add in a link to Aeronmelons post. He made it a week ago and didn't get a ton of attention. That combined with a ko-fi issue meant that things weren't super awesome for him. So I wanted to boost it again a little bit. Bump the thread. He's going through hell right now and I went through something similar but far less brutal. I'll do a lot for my friends and this? Isn't much. So even if I did care about people getting angry at me on the internet, I don't care when it means that there is a chance to help him. WELL worth the trade off, as far as I'm concerned. I'd gladly do it again.
Doing nothing is easier and might make people happier but doesn't get anything done. If I piss off a few people then oh well. I'm sorry for that. Hope they forgive me. But I'm not sorry I did it. I hope they can understand that, even if they don't respect or agree with it.
foofiepie@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 298d
I think maybe people sometimes forget the other posters are people, and (I see this way too often) get offended if you break internet etiquette or their own sense of ‘how to behave’ - in reaching out and trying to make - or help - genuine connections.
In short, taking themselves online too seriously.
Stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 298d
Considering the fact that like... I barely talk with anyone from Lemmy? Accurate. I'll send messages to people because I'm either bored or lonely and we hit it off with some comments or something and everytime the reaction is just "Wait why are you messaging me?" and it's like "No one ever messages me first." I don't know why. I adore it when a user joins lemmy and sees my username, reaches out, and then asks for a couple times. A few people have done that, a few sticking around too like IninewCrow, and it's one of the few times that I feel like a user too and not just a poster. Was really fucking weird at the start when I was commenting in other peoples posts and having reactions like "STAMETS KNOWS WHO I AM" and like... I do use this website too. So when there's a dude on Lemmy who I've had a good connection with who is going through HELL I'm going to try and use the position that I've apparently got to try and help him out just a little bit. Not constantly and not spamming it on every post today, but a couple times to hopefully bring some attention to it and help him out. Even if it's just a tiny bit then I did something and I can stop hating myself quite as much.
