In order to celebrate Pi Day, we TED-Ed nerds are bringing you 3 fun facts about our favorite irrational number!
1. Pi is infinite! To write it out, you’d begin with 3.14159 and continue on….forever! That’s why, instead of trying to write out an infinite number of digits every time, we just refer to it using the Greek letter, Pi.
2. Pi is an irrational number, or a number that can never be expressed as a ratio of 2 whole numbers.
3. Scientists have used Pi to calculate the density of our entire universe, which has infinitely less stuff in it than the total number of digits in Pi.
Have you ever been listening to Rainymood and thought, “Yeah, this is good … but it would be nice if I could customize the sound more, or if there was a little more choice.
MyNoise is a customizable sounscape looper with so many options, even within each soundscape. So say, for instance, you really love rain sounds when you write or study or relax. Anything. I know I’m a big fan of rain sounds. They have a page for that.
But say you like really high, pattery rain, and LOTS of low thunder. Here’s where MyNoise really stands out: you can customize that. See those sliders with all the cute colors? That is your equalizer. You can adjust the levels based on what you want to hear more and less of. Here’s how it looks when you want high, pattery rain and low, rumbly thunder:
But say rain isn’t really your jam. Say you want something a little more ambient, a little more background noise-y. Something with people. Well, they have customizable coffee house chatter that even has the levels listed for things like “kitchen,” “babble,” and “table”:
Or say you miss the ocean.
Or say you miss your cat.
Or say you miss your spaceship.
Or say you miss the dungeon where you and your team of scalawag adventurers used to explore and face off against, say, dragons. In the dungeon.
This site is seriously so helpful, and those are just a fraction of every kind of sounscape the site has to offer. The best part is that if you want to layer it with music (for instance, I’ll layer a playlist + rain + coffee shop if the scene I’m writing takes place in a coffee shop), you can adjust the master volume, meaning all of your layers stay at their respective volumes, just louder or quieter.
96 yr old: You know how your parents probably say things like, “you were BORN with the internet, you don’t know what it’s like to live without!”
Me: yeah
96 yr old: Well, my parents said that to me about electricity.
so last night i watched the weirdest time travel movie and at the end you discovered that all of the characters were the same person
the main character was a time traveling hermaphrodite who started their life as a woman, gave birth to themselves, put themselves on an orphanage doorstep in the past, later lived their life as a man, went back in time and impregnated themselves with themself and then later killed an older version of themself and my brain has never been more confused
More importantly, what movie was this? It sounds right up my alley
