apparently people think Pythagoras discovered the theorum about lengths of a right triangle.

Babylonians and other regions used this 1,000 years before Pythagoras.

Why is it called the Pythagorean theorem and not the Babylonian theorem then, huh, smart guy? Checkmate athiests.

It wasn't even Pythagoras, but his students, who named the proof after him.

Mmm, 45. Aged to perfection.

"Hold my beer. YEET!"

This was a lot funnier if you were there and witnessed what he did. Written language can't do it any justice. Just imagine the most badass thing a human can do, then imagine if he had a fist-sized rock in each hand while he did it, then imagine him tripping over his tunic right before the final flip.

What the fuck other sort of road is there that isn't publicity used?

Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk · 1 pts · 20d

Well, there are private roads, but in this case it's metaphorical road.
