Bitches love to be like "science sucks where are the eldritch horrors where is the knowledge thats maddening to know" that's thermodynamics motherfucker. The first two world experts in thermodynamics (Ludwig Boltzmann and Paul Ehrenfest) both killed themselves because they had to do fucking thermodynamics

i don't feel like talking so i write.
im so fucking stupid someone gave me 9/25 as a probability and i tried to convert it into % form and instead of multiplying 25 and 9 by 4 to get 36/100 or 36% (like my friend did) i realised they were both square numbers then square rooted 9/25 to get 3/5 then translated that to 0.6 or 6/10 then squared that to get 36/100 then converted that to 36%. why did i do any of that. like come on.
“Is it possible, in the final analysis, for one human being to achieve perfect understanding of another? We can invest enormous time and energy in serious efforts to know another person, but in the end, how close can we come to that person’s essence? We convince ourselves that we know the other person well, but do we really know anything important about anyone?”
— Haruki Murakami, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle
