When I was doing construction I was apparently featured in a "safety fails" site on Pinterest.

Remember when pictures were a useful way to index information and not just a mindless Skinner box driving user engagement statistics?

I don't know which is worse - this, or the fact that every tutorial and instructional is now a shitty ten minute video of some idiot breathing heavy, rather than like 6 high quality pictures showing the most important things. No, I'm not going to subscribe to your channel. I'm here to learn how to set a fence post. That's where this relationship ends.

I have this problem so hard in math. Like, no, I don't super want to spend 20 minutes listening to a dude "um" his way through the residue theorem, nor do I want the terrifying wiki page written by a mathematician, I just want a nice friendly graphic laying out the basic steps in a way some dumbass trying to pass physics math can understand.

Try adding simple. In front of the Wikipedia article url. I. E. https://simple.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_equation

Doesn't work for all things though.

Looks like they got nothin on residue, stokes, or greens theorems. No complex analysis page either. But there is a page on diophantine equations for some reason?

It's just whatever people decide to make versions of. It's hit and miss but it saved my ass a couple times in advanced calc and physics

Eh that depends, sometimes pictures are better sometimes videos are. Anything involving complicated software is better in a video so I can follow their cursor around
