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 should do this but for math:
I'll sign this!

But I'm not walking my dog at Elon's park!
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)
You might if it was the symbol that kept him under a billion.
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"
Isn't eu pronounced oy
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 🙃
Every number is now Euler's number.
Or the Bernoullis.
Throwing my vote in for Gauss.
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.
If not Euler or Gauss, probably exists in some obscure Russian journal's article from 1950s
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.
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.
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
Small cars and small people should legally be mandated to install a buggie whip and use it at all times.
When I owned a Miata, I almost put a yellow triangle flag on the radio antenna to make it look like an RC car.
Dude you can't go around putting flags on little people
That's why it's their handlers job
Buggie whips not flags.
I want to put a massive light whip on the back of my bike. lol
He had a lot of money and free time and chose to document his hyperfixation rabbit holes.
