Any idea of why is that?

I wish he was even smarter so that he would choose not to play chess with a pigeon.

Irreverent not irrelevant

Nope. I don't like the format.

A 30 seconds video is like repeating the same mistakes that turned Twitter (yes, even before Elon Musk) to what it is today: a place that there's no shade of gray, no nuance and everything is outrageous. A Short has no time to elaborate on anything and can simplify the subject so much that it becomes just misinformation.

Also I don't believe it's worth for creators in the long run. I'm not a creator myself but I believe that the time-effort to create a video is not linear with its duration. They can make a short so elaborated and viral that it would be more worth to create a full video in regards of sponsorship, ad revenue and subscription retention.

Since I've adopted PowerToys -> PowerToys Run and set a shortcut to open it with "Super (windows key) + Space" I don't know what a start menu is.

OP's problem isn't even wrong.

It's just assuming that π is 5 in this specific scenario, just like it's reasonable to assume the existence of a spherical cow in a frictionless environment. Yeah, if you use the results of this problem to develop a real cylinder you're going to have a bad time but nobody is doing that all what's the problem?

Nobody is saying that from this point in time and going forward π = 5 and now math is broken forever. People need to chill

If you take a look into the fitness bubble on YouTube you will see military propaganda too. They're often competing against real soldiers/SEALS/whatever to demonstrate how well prepared they're are in the case of war. Back in the subject of engineering, William Osman was also sponsored by the Navy (I think) one time.

I believe the interface being show is from a Misskey instance. It's like Mastodon but a lot more customizable
