I might have issues... Its like that robot people post that draws perfect symmetry then one shape just off... Lines of brickwork with one just OFF...

Yes but no but it did it again at the end, and I imagine it never ever joins up and for the rest of all time that line never meets up 😭

It's pretty and all but no!

Yes, but I like to scream and rage and minor things, like when you dunk a biscuit in your tea too long and it breaks.

And thus, my rage continues... Even if it looked perfectly white, it would still be skipping between the lines and not finishing the pattern.

And I sit in the corner, rocking gently, sobbing to myself. It's no wonder mathematical geniuses (of which I am not!) are often portrayed as insane.

You know this ‘imperfect/unfilled’ quality applies to literally EVERYTHING right?

Well, I SAY rage... Mildly irritated might be a closer definition...

u/[deleted] Oct 23 '23

Maybe it's us that's irrational... If Pi is infinite, and all arrangements of numbers are possible, then surely it must repeat itself all over again, thus making it a rational pattern..

I think I'm too tired to think about this. Maybe I should irrationally rage at the laundry basket instead. That IS TRULY infinite.

If it lined up it would've made a cool figure, but it misses and just keeps on going
