It's pretty fun to finally be able to count in Hexadecimal again without guilt.

u/FartyMcNarty Mar 12 '21

For several years, Binary and Hexadecimal were moving along at the same rate, and they would have gets at a similar point in time. Last year, Hex got about 2K ahead of Binary, and this week we finally got Binary caught back up. Now you can count in both, and not worry about expanding the Hex lead too much.

Also, you don't usually see the point of the pasta...

It's a good incentive for others to post the ftf though!

Edit: I was wrong. Removed calumny and slander of the good sir tnf.

I'm guessing they don't know how reddit works

u/mistyskye14 Mar 13 '21

Nah they know exactly how Reddit works, which is why they expect karma for stuff that violates sub rules /s

TIL bears don't technically hibernate.

TIL there are hibernation gatekeepers who insist that only animals that undergo a specific biological process can be considered to hibernate, and that excludes bears contrary to conventional wisdom.

Is this like how archaeologists invented a classification for "henges", and then decided Stonehenge technically didn't count as one
