The middle ages were peak tho, i'd like to be a 10th century feud lord
Although, of course, we are living in the best period of human history
so enjoy your life pal
Oh yh nice
That's when God came down here. Certainly the best event in human history
But that was only in the first 1/3 of the century
Everything else was cooked
I disagree?
Oh wait idk if you are religious too
Well who cares, we can agree to disagree on that matter
I am, but I think Jesus came at the peak of humanity.
Oh ok
How so?
At the most ripe time. It also says something to that effect in the bible.
Oh yhh
That was the best time that He could've become a man
But that's not the best time in history
But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law,
I disagree.
The best time in history for the average person to live is objectively rn
I just don't agree.
Ok so would you go back to the 1st century?
Maybe, maybe, I'm not sure when.
Although time travel is not logically possible
So just imagine an alternate timeline
Or a world pretty much identical to 1st century Rome
The only way you would stay in the 1st century is if you found yourself a beautiful wife
Otherwise you would return 10/10 times
This assumes a lot.
best time to be alive was prehistory
just a sweet ape eating berries and peanuts and bugs
chilling on a tree branch watching dumb lions
Okay, here's a pun.
Jenny say paw.
We all know you'd die with Emperor Domitian watching dogs eat you alive in the Colosseum bro, because like me you are a christian
Unless you renounced your faith
Or like I live in some random location, where it's hard to get to me.
Or maybe you were lucky to live before Nero
outskirts of the roman empire?
I mean those are my people.
Maybe close to Parthia then (far east of the roman empire)
Gaul is not in the outskirts of the roman empire
Or Brittan area.
Ofc.
So atleast halfway through the 1st century
North scotland would be fun.
I said first century.
that viking times?
Yep, or bactria would be cool to go to.
pretty sure Scotland was at much at risk as the rest of great britain
I love greco-buddhism, the art was awesome.
some dude just walks off a boat, slaughters your family and takes your oats
The people there had more self respect and were more brutal than the southern brittons
The romans never advanced much into that part of Britain
Yeah they kept the older system of being.
Romans are an entirely different problem
I mean the romans didnt conquer Arabia too
and yeah I agree not a concern there but the other concerns were also wilin
Ok
I also like Persia, but boy was it a mess.
Just be a medieval peasant or feud lord in the 10th century
Your children die early but you got 10 children so that evens out
What's so special about Persia?
I’d probably chill as an ancient hindu or native north american if I couldn’t be an ape
if civilization is insisted upon
Late Zoroastrian dark period.
A lot of texts and stories from that time period were destroyed.
So was their "book of kings."
i think it's interesting. plus, you can step and watch through a lot till you get it too
I enjoy prince of persia the videogame series, if that’s accurate man how dope
Some dang sultan with a time spell always turning people into sand
I also loved how monaticism and mono-theism across multiple areas existed. 太一生水
Atleast it's not worse than hellenism
When they introduced gymnasius in Israel
Gymnasiums*
Utterly crazy stuff ngl
Yeahh!! I know it'll be a fun ride!!
you mean nude areas?
With the bros?
Yh
Honestly would be lit.
Nah that's crazy
That's me though.
I’m a sucker for hellenistic greece
I think it was just covering eachother in olive oil and wrestling, and debating
Remember when Jesus was like "give to rome what is romes."
And also talked against zelots?
Yh
Give to Caesar what is Caesar's
Makes you think he was like "na, Rome is Rome."
Greece without gymnasium and pederasty is peak antiquity
What do you think about communal baths?
more like low-brow
Meh
it's not as bad a gymnasium ig
gymnasium is literally just working out naked.
in public spaces
It's like a communal bath, but for your body?
Yeah gymnasium ok baths seem fine
So was the bath???
Some cultures still do communal bathing
I mean that communal baths wise ppl wouldnt necessarily be exposed to each other
In Japan it’s not uncommon
Cuz of the water yk
I know, and I like those cultures.
Yk Japan
You know people walked around the bath nude?
@foggy meadow wait why are you sussing me out rn bro
Because it is a double standard?
Yh that's why i said "meh"
That's the sus part
I think it’d be kinda chill to just chill naked comfortably socially. It is comfortable in or out of a warm bath.
Fair
I mean honestly, a communal bath could be completely ok if you could cover your body at all times
Which is possible ig?
Not at a gymnasium i think
I ate the apple though by being raised modern western and now I’m ashamed
Also, communal toilets?
I mean a lot of places were nude.
If you can cover yourself at all times then that could be unsus
Is it only the abrahamic religions that nude-shame?
Yes.
Dunno
i think God is based though
Buddhism was like "wear a robe bro" so no.
Yh buddhism kinda based too
They were against gymnosophism.
Remember when tai yi sheng shui.
I liked when he made the water, and then the earth.
And then the other spirits.
Anything at all could be "chill" tho
Just lobotomize yourself

true but I gotta work with what I got
the mind-cage I’ve built for myself
It is a robe of the mind
@foggy meadow but seriously tho, im only saying this cuz u are a christian aswell, greece was kinda lame tbh, and ancient times in general. In the OT you have Moses talking about the Levantine (Western middle east basically, and mesopotomia to its east too) pagan homossexuals and then you got Paul in the NT talking about the roman stuff that was influenced by the greeks
That was a weird time in history
But that's not special tbh.
It is, but deny that.
U pretty much had the same stuff in other times, just more frowned upon
It said it was, and when I look into it.
It very very much is.
We still look back at it?
What is what?
Based
1st century.
1st century was what?
A weird time
0-100AD
oh yh true
All the stuff I'm refrencing is from then.
Tbh the emperors should have stopped promoting orgies in general, that only stopped in the 4th century and then u got stuff like the Tessalonika Massacre which was an overreaction
I mean who can blame them? That's just grecian values in general
Greece never stopped influencing the world
Because the west is founded upon them.
Christianity was basically totally unexpected
Im over it
Greeks then: (builds civilization)
Greeks now: it's 11:30pm time to take my grandma and my niece to the nightclub
I mean it was expected if you look at the full time period.
Also, if you read the dead sea scrolls, many people wanted the messia to come.
"oh well, we just crucified this one jew. Turns out people think he is alive and reached heaven (true) and now ppl are defying the emperors? Kill them"
3 centuries later: yh Christ is king - emperor Theodosius
History is funny as hell
It's beautiful too.
Yh i described the most beautiful turn of events in history
it didn’t even take that long really
I read a book called master and margarita that is just stunning
Wym?
It has portrayals from first person, well researched and historically true, with some nice magical color
For christianity to go from a persecuted to cult to state religion
Far eastern "wise" bros when a random western nation cooks them:
I mean not really, but partly.
I mean it's cool, but not beautiful to me.
What is beautiful to you?
I would have to write it down.
Which I have been.
from recent trip
Basically ppl never stopped converting and never stopped getting martyred and then the emperors couldnt make the average populace worship their literally made up god (Sol Invictus) and were coping till Constantine converted
Is that Greece?
Nah type it
Beautiful
yeah sure. It’s just kinda funny
You mean like a summary.
Feels like not much has happened since muhammed
It's hilarious bro. How could an empire go from a random servant of the emperor killing a jew and then that guy turns out to be worshipped by another emperor 300 years later? That's crazy
uhhh crusades??
I mean in terms of the birth and rise of a major world religion
Mormons
The next one will be the antichrist, after that world history is done.

Muhammad was the greatest Antichrist till now
I feel like it was the peak of history.
Because at the time Christ existed, I seems like it could have gone anywhere and still would have flourished.
I also think Christianity is a combination of some of the best ideas from the time.
are mormons a major one? I don’t read much about em
Depends where you live.
in America they’re pretty much confined to poor rural areas
not really
How was it the peak of history bro? No modern entertainment, the emperor was worshipped, ppl killed each for fun (Colosseum massacres)
later on christians were persecuted
Bunch of conspiracies and emperors killed
there are more Mormons than Jews
Yh
You're thinking purly Romano-centric.
Which is bad, and closed view.
You miss the actual picture that God had painted.
Dude
Rome was the peak of mankind
I disagree.
Which empire was better than Rome when it existed?
hilarious
If you say China then you are getting blocked
Han dynasty
yh blocked
XDDDD
Just kidding
didn’t even know they lived worldwide
i don’t think it depends on where you live really. We’re talking major world religions
Wouldn’t make a ton of sense to be like well it’s not a major religion because I live in China.
But nah that's misguided, China was never as powerful and as prosperous as Rome
The han chinese still call themselves and name themselves after it.
Mormons?
So was their writing and their culture spread across asia.
I also think Persia out witted Rome often.
What bro
So, militarily Persia was pretty great.
I disagree.
China is probably as powerful and prosperous as rome right now
relatively speaking too
Ok i'll stop talking like that, just 100% honesty
Rome was the most powerful empire when it existed. That's not actually debatable. And it was richer too
Also, I'm not catholic.
So, time to have a bias against me and putting me in the not really Christian category.
Parthia and China were never as great as Rome
I liked them more, so far.
China in particular was almost an equal but not an equal
British Empire was the most powerful empire in history no contest
The Parabole Lazarus.
Weren’t the byzantines just as powerful as the western roman empire?
The rich man thought he was over lazarus.
But lazarus was the main character in that story.
like 150 years after the west fell apart?
I dont think preferring other empires over Rome means denying the Gospel
The closest thing you did here was that sus gymnasium stuff but it's pretty much just trolling so idc
I mean that's also an assumption that I was trolling??
did you look up byzantines
Lmao.
it is awkward now
anyway if it was not trolling then you just have to sincerely repent
I seek the tide to crash on me
With justinian?
About?
Saying it was sus to not dislike all nudity?
Justinian maybe
Look in a mirror.
No i mean the gymnasium part, but i honestly dont wanna analyse your entire sexuality based on these comments
and the only one I knownanything about
Justinian
and
Constantine XI
This makes little sense.
justimbian
analyse your entire sexuality based on these comments
Bruhh, that's funny.
Imagine, gosh.
Justimbian?
He was an excellent administrator iirc
Wait look up that one byzantine emperor
Heraclius
The muslims say he talked to Muhammad
Hypocrites exist and are in this very chat.
For you are okay with one thing, but not the other.
I am the hypocrite and will always be
Till i die
dipsuxe
Wait i was about to say something poetic
Then why is it said to not be of two-minds?
only thanos was a truly powerful emperor
Yo dude i actually did not want it to get heated up, but again, like i said, it's ok if you can cover your body at all times
Thanos?
yes the famous ruler
Well, I would rather just not be lukewarm on something in this case.
If I accept one thing, but not another, then put my self in a high place.
I'm no better than those Jesus criticized.
if i accept one thing but not another, yet the other is rejected because of something that the accepted thing also has, then im cooked. If it doesnt have that thing, then no
which is why i talked about the possibility of being covered at all times
Most public baths arent like that so i'd say most of these are not it
but if there is any at all that allows for that, it's fair.
Whether by a towel or the water itself yk
Anyway
@barren anchor math?
I'll go to the other chat
what about math?
Which is a better take.
Formula for cumulative angles of polygon?!
i never accept one thing but not the other about axioms for math
that shit is consistent until you’re like is ZFC fake
Do we need more infinite structures
Does anyone know any books on Euclidean geometry in Spanish?
Transformaciones en geometrÃa: euclidiana y no euclidiana is one that popped up while browsing anna's archive, although I've never read it
sorry for the lack of updates, i managed to make this work and have example code here: https://github.com/Ernesti04/general_projects/blob/main/index_cascade.py
to use it you enter plaintext and get shifted text out or put shifted text in and get plaintext out. the seed is based on abcd so there isn't a need for an extra variable from the user
i've made a lot of changes to the main program's code, I'm just doing some testing and want to make sure I'm happy enough with it before uploading. i've test it with an a up to 5000 before it starts to run out of memory, b and c are relative to a. with the way the cascade seed is generated, the d value should be >= a to be safe
The biggest downside to my actual program that i've noticed is that the result is always much larger than the input, so it's very space inefficient
a, tienes el pdf
Lehmann's Geometría Analítica is decent enough, a .pdf should come up among the first results if you search
(we can't directly send .pdf of copyrighted books here due to Discord terms of service
)
stop everything your doing and look at this

why GPT-4o is the one that comes with payed plan and not o4-mini which is better?
why not direct that question to OpenAI
Honestly based
Money
4o is performing amazing on expert topics tho
But requests cost a lot
Fortunately
really? 
i was about to ask where i can learn more 
it makes a lot of mistakes still ime, esp for rag type tasks lowk.
lately i feel interested in o3? more internal prompting layers.
i did a task. i gave it to o3. o3 performed worse, but still soundly. filters remain important 🤷🏽♀️
I fricking hate that GPT Plus cost like 7 dollar more where I live
And that I still pay for it
o4-mini is in the payed plan
as well as o4-mini-high
whats rag type tasks?
quote pulling type
as in, having it give you pieces of the literature?
no like "this text is saying [this]. see [here]"
or directly "<quote> <reference>" vibe
that’s the wanted form of answer in this kind of task? sorry im a bit slow rn guh
mhm so like, say you give it a book. then say, "hm, what's steps involved in this idea from the book" then it'll say, "<quote concerning the steps from the book> <link to the part of the book with the quote>. or like, if you give it a bunch of sources like idk the wiki for the movia companion and say, "okay, what's the date that companion came out?" then it'll say, "the companion movie was released on x date. [link to the wiki page]"
This is a very very dificult benchmark test, request often takes hours for ai to solve thel but this is very promising.
or like, "what's turning point of the zoe's backstory?" then it'll be like, "oh, the turning point of zoe's back story was 'quote from the wiki' (link)"
so you see that a lot with like, the gemini ai summaries
how it shows the link u can click
that's like rag
except gemini also pulls from unreputable sources
i mean gpt also can so it's important to practice a lot of media literacy when using those tools for searching, except you can control it lowk tightly? like, "only from x sources."
but with llm search u can describe more clearly what you want than you can with like a search engine like ddg or smth
So the benchmark i was talking about is frontier math but there are other ones
Our database of benchmark results, featuring the performance of leading AI models on challenging tasks. It includes results from benchmarks evaluated internally by Epoch AI as well as data collected from external sources. The dashboard tracks AI progress over time, and correlates benchmark scores with key factors like compute or model accessibil...
ok thanks so much for explaining im following now 
mhm so like, i think o1 could solve olympiad problems within 1000 attempts or something, so it begs "what counts as expert level math problems?" calculus? proofs? novel problems? familiar, solved ones? and also within how many attempts lowk
mhm like that's my understanding like
so the immediate takeaway is something like, it’s not very good at making sense of specific pieces of information you feed it
I sent a screenshot saying those are original problems crafted by mathematicians that take hours or days to solve
well, it can be. except i still notice a lot of like, motivated interpretations of the text
By experts
so im like, "okay, did the text really say that, or did you think that and then just say that this source said that?"
So that's pretty damn impressive to have 20% on that

mhm hopefully that translates to accelerating problem exploration or something like that in a meaningful and helpful way.
this is such a leading question though
wdym
it suggest that the text didn’t really say that
The problem is that the benchmark and the requests themselve are very very costly
well, if it text really said that, then i want to be able to ctrl+f it, because why would i trust genai more than a human?
i think it's healthy to fact check by default anyway
esp gpt
and like, gpt will regurgitate myths
and misinformation
i also kinda notice gendered bias in the embeddings too tbr
yeah, i just wonder if it will apologize regardless of whether or not the text actually does say what gpt claims
idk
how it shows up like, sometimes i get results biased in the topics
ooh im very curious about this, do you have any examples?
oh, i dont mean to ask it, really ask and answer yourself
althought you Can ask it, and sometimes it'll try to back itself up more or less accurately. once i asked it to prove its take and it backed itself up incorrectly, then i asked it to back itself up again after calling it out and it did it incorrect again. but i didn't give it the raw text, so it could've also gotten confused lowk
From what Ive tried, it solves around Middle difficult Putnam problems with around a third accuracy correct
ohh right yeah of course
Theres a few studys that GPT is very leftist biased
a good example is like, book recommendations? sometimes i ask for books on topics. sometimes it unearths a book i'm looking for and im like, great! other times it like, gives social criticisms instead of technical books when you're looking for technical books specifically by female authors. like, SV might complain, "well, there aren't as many women!" and then ethical ceos in SV would say, "ok. find them." but i think it can be helpful to point to human curated lists. like, if you're leveraging description heavily in your search.
there are a lot of content filters for ethics to avoid triggering backlash, so i could believe that to some extent.
elon's model pushed some nazi thing or something and a C-suite person resigned due to backlash recently. iirc something like that
i think this
problem how?
You were also able to see with Groks thought process that it literally seraches for Elon Musk opinion before giving an answer
😭
So its extremely biased, yeah
twitter does that too
there's like, branches in the code to make sure to amplify elon's tweets and also like, protect his account from being affected algorithm changes
where can i learn more? that seems valuable to know, and also makes Grok look like an elon megaphone
Idk heres some random article, didnt read that on e
https://techcrunch.com/2025/07/10/grok-4-seems-to-consult-elon-musk-to-answer-controversial-questions/
can just search it in the internet and will see more then enough articles and post bout that
Also there was one where youd ask Grok who is the greatest americian and itd say Elon Musk, I tried that one on my own and it did actually say that Lol
guys i have just started permutations and combinations
and ill se honest
im not good at critical thinking or mathematical reasonings
ok
yeah ig this is a bias in the data that they havent felt the need to make up for, it really should be doable, i see a lot of like “women in [some field]” type organizations with great pointers when searched for
this seems like the kind of thing that they could tune the machine to yield some emphasis
Yeah this one should be better
So yeah there won't be extra colours or anything
For instance I wouldnt get a new colour, just my blue back
Most roles that serve a purpose actually don't even have colours
Helpful is the exception which grants help desk perms (and mod ofc)
Not even yello grants you anything new (okay except .remindme maybe)
I know, I wasn't hoping for making a bunch of new roles and colours. But because this proposal is new, there are definitely improvements to be made that count towards the fairness of the thing without confusing things further or gamifying them
Wdym the fairness of the thing?
I don't think anyone will oppose the thing and vote ❌
well if I knew, I would've written it in the suggestion thread
true, but maybe someday we can make it less confusing for new people who recently got active and helpful or something
Wdym?
It took me a while to understand how coloured roles work as well as roles as a whole. I'm sure there'll be ppl like me later on, but the format won't be as simple as now
It will though
Cuz the idea is that as soon as you get any color role
You also gain access to a secret channel
Roles are already xplained in #info
But that secret channel would explain you can react to messages in order to select the color you wanna display, or none if you wish
That's the sole purpose of the suggestion; nothing more, nothing less! 
The inner workings of each role and clarity regarding their each purpose is already something you can find and you can ask people about (eg I explained what obsidian and meta were when you got access)
Ohhhh so there suffices just one channel and it will have a choice for every coloured role. So they would have to deny people with up to very active from getting the honourable colour etc.
You explained them after you made me think that y'all were robots
Honourable is the only role in this suggestion that wouldn't be affected; anyone with it will always be yellow, or if they don't wanna be yellow, they get the role removed
I didn't make you believe shit myself
I was just there vibing when this occured
hmm fair solution
You didn't bother explaining tho lmao
until after*
anyways, thanks for the clarifications
mhm. esp like, ed tech kinda things seem concerning, like, we don't want to design and recommend nursing career paths disproportionately to our girls over our boys or doctor career paths to our boys rather than our girls. we want paths recommended by interest and ample stereotype challenging to support that the options are real to fan interest, right? among other things.
like, right to explore the world rather than the problematic box we've cut out of the world with our ed tech tool you're spending most of your time in (among ur edtech tool options), for their users, esp since people making decisions from those biases will act those decisions out in the world

Is it possible to cover calculus in a month and a half if you’re still covering functions?
Yes you can although depending on many factors
Which factors?
there's a difference between possible and advisable
why do you need it done in 6 weeks
why are you only up to where you are at this point
(rhetorical questions)
you need to be realistic with yourself
Most importantly is realistic to yourself need, how much time and effects you can put daily
And your capability of grasping concepts @half relic
I have my exams in 8 weeks, I didn’t cover enough early on
I think I’m still learning the fundamentals of algebra at this point. I still find learning even basic functions to be quite difficult
There would be great videos or resources that could teach you easily ig just keep practicing
Do you have any that you’d recommend?
I hate to be a pessimist
but I think you should consider the outcome that it won't happen
so you're prepared
try your best and all, but still
As in it’s unlikely that I’d be able to cover that much in a month?
I loved math in primary and hated in high school and now learning again from ai and robotics I used mathematics for machine learning book although it will not cover all calculus concepts so you should consider specific ask in maybe #book-recommendations
Alright, thanks a lot for helping
From my understanding:
high school: General
Associates: pre-specialization
Bachelor’s: specialization
Masters: sub-specialization
Doctorate: sub-sub-specialization
What if you wanna do sub-sub-sub-specialization?
postdoc lol
but also one doesn't necessarily specialize further into the same topic the more time goes on, arguably one shouldn't do this
Aight
I mean yeah for versatility sake
we like it
also i prefer science and programming over math
but i like math still
Do you feel fulfilled
yes
Do you feel like you can be more
So about chatgpt can i send it a set of qs and ask about what topic its made for? Or is it also not credible
Excuse me miss
Thing i enjoy the most/which is moderately painful for me to study
Also im better at maths than other things
take its answers with a grain of salt
Idk if its a cause or a consequence tho
Ur excused
Ok thanks
No I was going to ask you a question I apologize for the misunderstanding
Chatgpt is pretty safe for very documented classic topics, not for other things tho
Even for classic topics sometimes it's unclear
yeah that should be fine but what seia said also applies
or just ask me
... im not your bro
Cuz I applied to this math comp it didnt have any syllabus or material whatsoever its just past exams questions and reading those questions seems about things I haven’t learned yet
What do you do besides math

you can just send it in a help channel
Oh what qs
I cant send alll of the questions
Maybe ill do one exam
And ask about it
i mean you can send a couple
How about 7
if you have that many, sure
since you're not asking for answers but rather what field they're in i believe
Like i dont need the answer just the felid the qs are meant ifykwim
Yess
Ok when i get home ill do just that
Ohh okk then
If i understand well, you have question about things you haven't learnt yet, so you just want to know what to study to be able to solve them?
Ty seia
Exactly
nps
Clearly gerrymandered
Ben & Jerry's "Cherry-mandered"
😭
I claim a cut of the royalties if they make that flavor next. Yall heard it here first.
@tough acorn accept friend req
it doesn't matter. The goal is to try and help the person who asked how to solve it
but might not be for Star
how does the difficulty level matter when we're trying to help ppl tho
no, I don't agree
sometimes you just get stuck
it's not like sitting with it more will help you
posting in the help thread is spending time trying to learn
when we're helping people
we guide them
we're not telling them the answers
what's the point of sitting with a problem and not knowing what to do for the whole day?
it doesn't
maybe you haven't gotten to the level where it just doesn't work
sitting with something and not making progress never works
always have to ask for help
applies in other subjects too
and also
according to your logic
shouldn't you just sit with your problem
and not ask for help on this server
💀
i wish i could do that for every single problem i have. then i wouldn't be stuck in this self-deprecating loop
i would have killed for the ability to search up anything and understand it immediately every single time
but instead this sorry brain has to ask and get confirmation for even the smallest stuff sometimes
i get what you're saying but i disagree with you
because if i agree with you, i'm saying i shouldn't exist
Mrx, it seems like your point is just "stuck? just look at the problem more" - which, while it naively could make sense, is not pragmatically viable
It's not even true for most things being learnt - it's most definitely seldom true for maths


amazing
its 3am here now
mom accused me of fabricating dinner plans to dodge family night but urs truly expertly dodged it as usual
yay yay yay new ideas i've never ever heard before 🙌

huh?
Yeah sorry I waa playing assassin creed mirage
@lean pawn what are your pronouns btw? i noticed you have the "ask pronouns" role
waow

long story
hii
high schooler studying linalg, abstract alg, some calc and some number theory
why
no comment on it. i can barely keep up with my own shit and you want me to focus down an unsolved conjecture. in ten years maybe?
why are you trying to ask a group of hslers and ugs about the collatz conjecture 
your teacher might even know more
"it's easy" 
-# not this again
my thoughts is "no comment". easy enough?
The Collatz Conjecture is the simplest math problem no one can solve — it is easy enough for almost anyone to understand but notoriously difficult to solve. This video is sponsored by Brilliant. The first 200 people to sign up via https://brilliant.org/veritasium get 20% off a yearly subscription.

ok go watch this
you would be suprised
three cross plus one
good for you. don't ping me and pester me for comments if you do have thoughts about it then
find some papers etc
this again
Go. Find. Papers. And. Read. Them.
if you want to learn more
stop pestering us; we don't even have a degree yet
you just did.
you don't know replying by default pings the person you reply to?
like this?
ok anyway
if you want to learn more about specific fields in higher maths
go find some papers and read them
if you have parts that you're confused about
then come here and ask
i'm not interested in this talk at this hour. stop pinging me about them.
is bro breaking up with astraea?
If u see videos about India and all their food stands, then this doesnt look very hygienic
I think their whole culture isnt very hygienic
💀💀
Trash everywhere, I saw some data that over 50% or so shit on the street. So not hygienic food isnt a big stretch
What
that isnt so easy
Im too
High immunity i guess
No Im pretty sure they have health issues
no
Though I wouldnt be surprised if they did develope immunity by living near trash their whole life was also consuming viruses like a delicacy
no they produce marsupial moles
wow
but India does play an important role dosent it
Globally
thats crazy
Lol
@neat lintel welcome to the mathcord! 
Thr government should be way more entrepreneur and business friendly. They did a right thing by creating immense social pressure to become extremely educated but thay doesnt help if they don't have any viable jobs and they all move out
thanks :))
Bruh
no haha
you think rahul would do a better job?
I know of some, why?
Nah maybe India will become rich after building the twentieth 3000 meter statue
😭🙏
You could focus on the better side of india aswell uk?
Almost always the correct answer
u could solve it btw not many people have tried
google sarcasm
Hi
hi
How are you?
good! you?
Fine
frrrrrrrrrrr

Forget about homework an...
omg congrats lance!!!
Because Z/Z
,align\frac{\cancel Z}{2\cancel Z}&=\frac12\
&=\frac32-1\
\frac32&=1\
\frac3{\cancel2}\cdot\cancel2&=1\cdot2\
3&=2\
3&=1+1

,align\frac{\cancel Z}{2\cancel Z}&=0\
\frac12&=0\
\frac32-1&=0\
\frac32&=1\

3&=2\
3&=1+1

what in dark magic
Its cuz z/2z= 0 is innocent in the first place
Z!= 0
And the only answer to this is z=0
But again z cant be zero

sorry @rocky shuttle
0 = 1 
Eh, close enough
Me when zero ring 
Field with one element
Throw back to when I forgot the definition of a field excluded this in my LA exam and I spent about 15 minutes very confused
oh god
Mathcord has fallen
unrelated but crazy how many people explode into a swarm when there's a ping
discussion channel is a nightmare
everyone ping 
Discussion 1 about to get muted
Who did that
An at everyone ping from mathematics in #discussion
In a democracy we live in
Dude. What is happening in the other discussion…
What happened-
don't gheck discussion 1
wow
check
#discussion Damn, this is an active server!
how the fuck did that happen
Discussion one tweaking
Lol
jesus
Someone pinged everybody
What kind of skxawng used @ everyone in a server this size
that was impressive
And with 270k people..
refuge from discussion
why is so many ppl going full stupid in #discussion ?
Discussion-1(x) = x*0
I lowkey forgot I was in this server
Right? How is @ everyone even enabled
is it safe in here im scared
yes I'm asking how it worked
How is this even possible xD
Crazy
why ping
@everyone
hm
You know, I passed a math exam once
What the heck going on
Someone forgot to turn it off?
oh god
@next schooner did it
Stoooppp
now why did it work
Ban
I don't actually know how to do math
is the question
@here
Lmao
wut has become of math channel
@next schooner
so sad
One message removed from a suspended account.
What's going on with discussion one
how did the mod team even let this happen 👎
yeah but why is there so many other idiots just spamming random shit?
@next schooner
@next schooner
@next schooner
somebody pinged
They had a funny role
@next schooner
Honestly discord users when they get pinged.
@next schooner
@next schooner
Lol
BRH
