I hereby propose we make a workforce to rename all the stuff named after Euler.
It's just horrible. What's the difference between Euler's relation and Euler's ratio? What about Euler's rule and Euler's method? Do all of those only name a single thing? Who knows? Why does Google just replace half of them by their preferred Euler named stuff? Who knows?
We can call it the Euler Award for Excessive Achievement in Science. Or the Eulies if you're in the industry. And we can make a big deal about it if anyone pronounces it "the yoolies"
Yep, I think the accepted English pronunciation of "Euler" is as a homophone of "oiler", so the award would be "the oilies". I never heard the name out loud as a kid so I pronounced it "you'-ler" until well into adulthood, until someone made a big deal about me not pronouncing it correctly. I remember the occasion very clearly 🙃
I always try to park further back because of this. Then I still underestimate it and can't find where I parked.
With motorcycles, it's almost mandatory to park further back. People will try to pull in, hit the bike, knock it over, and then drive off like nothing happened. If confronted, it's your fault for riding a bike.
I've always wanted a hat like the one Gauss is wearing in that painting, but I can't find exactly what kind of hat it is or the dimensions needed to make it.
God, do I understand this. I think back to the days when I didn't know math and math history(?) and I just shake my head to imagine what it would be like to not get all the different math layers of this joke. Euler! A Miata. LOL! Bruh. Nailed it.

We should do this but for math:

From up top, the bushes seem to be placed in the shape of a swastika.
For no reason, apparently.

I would let my dog shit there but just wouldn't pick it up(I clean up after my dog everywhere else)

Most of the billionaires simply own companies worth billions. They don't have much liquid wealth, they don't have much income
What they have is loans paid off when they die sufficient to buy anything

Every number is now Euler's number.

One perk of riding a small scooter is that i park right on the sidewalk area if i can (where people put their bikes). No issues yet

If not Euler or Gauss, probably exists in some obscure Russian journal's article from 1950s

Small cars and small people should legally be mandated to install a buggie whip and use it at all times.

Dude you can't go around putting flags on little people

He had a lot of money and free time and chose to document his hyperfixation rabbit holes.
