    ASMR isn’t supposed to be relaxing, some people just found it relaxing and somehow that completely bastardized the genre(also it became soft core pornography). ASMR stands for autonomous sensory meridian response, basically some people get a pleasurable tingling sensation on their head/neck/spine when they hear certain sounds, and ASMR content is supposed to stimulate that response for those people.

    What I don’t get is that people encountered ASMR and unquestionly went “guess that’s what it’s called” and didn’t wonder at all what the obvious acronym stood for, literally 5 seconds to Google 4 letters and you’d understand what it’s all about.

    This is actually the sandwich problem, which states there is exactly one slice that will split a sandwich of 3 elements into exactly 2 halves regardless of the shape or position of those elements. We don’t need the full proof, but the problem is continuous, so any desired ratio is possible, therefore you will always be able to slice an apple into exactly 1/3 and 2/3rds “good bits”, so a single slice will always be able to do the job.




  • For various math reasons you only get consistent systems with 2^n dimensions, so after complex you get quaternions with 4, then the next one that works is 8, then 16, etc. They become less useful because you lose various useful features, like you lose commutabiliy with quaternions (eg ab != ba), and every time you double you lose more things.
