the number tournament

what is the best number? you decide! submissions will stay open until I decide to close them.

hello, tumblr! we've all had a lot of fun voting in polls and putting our favorite blorbos and blorbinojn against each other, and now I think it's time for.......

THE NUMBER TOURNAMENT

uncountably infinite options to choose from, but only one can be the champion! I mean, only one number can be the champion. the number "one" may or may not end up being the champion.

anyway submit your favorite numbers! any type of number is valid, even things that aren't numbers as long as they're sufficiently numerical! I'm gonna keep submissions open until I have enough to make a well-seeded bracket from the most popular options. go wild!

I’ll also add: get an RSS reader app.

Most individual comic websites will have an RSS feed you can subscribe to, meaning that you don’t have to memorize/write down each comics’ update schedule or check the website to see if the comic has updated.

Before I knew about RSS, I would choose to read on Tapas or Webtoon if a comic was available there because following a comic on its own website was just less convenient. But with an RSS reader, I can follow dozens of comic websites, get notified and see all of the updates in one place, and keep track of which updates I have already read.

I personally use NetNewsWire on IOS as my RSS app, but there are plenty of good ones.

People don't like to admit it bcs cringe or w/e but Homestuck really did revolutionize the webcomic as a storytelling medium and I am endlessly frustrated that before webcomic artists could really stretch our legs fucking webtoonz swooped in, set a new, more restrictive standard, and then monetized and monopolized the ever living fuck out of the concept of The Webcomic until it drove away anyone who couldn't be a professional quality manga artist for free, and now the only webcomics that actually feel like spiritual successors to Homestuck are so obscure they're basically cult classics that you have to beg people to read.

Like it's just so wild to be in high school and see Homestuck be like "we're using like fifteen different artistic mediums to tell this story bcs we can" and be really fucking inspired by that, only to grow up and see basically every webcomic ever have to conform to One Single Standard or fucking perish.

As a young librarian, I started trying to figure out why more young people aren't ever coming in; 90% of our demographic are the elderly and parents of children, and the rest are a rough mix of the kids and teenagers who come in just for school projects. As a result, I've been attempting different ways to get the Youth TM to come into libraries, but first I wanted to see why they don't come in. Please reblog to get this poll out to more people! <3

the "came back wrong" trope except like... they didnt. like this mad scientists wife died, and so he studied necromancy, brought her back, and she came back and it all worked. like she came back exactly the same as she was before with literally no difference. but the scientist guy is like "oh no... what have i done.... shes Different now!!!! she came back Wrong!!!!" and shes just like. chilling. reading a book. cooking dinner. shes just so so normal but in the guys mind hes like "oh shes soooo weird" but shes just normal

one propaganda, because there isn’t enough of that yet

-1, 0, 1, and 2 are the most important numbers. they are the basis of the integers, each of them providing something unique that every other integer builds off of.

all the other types of numbers, from rationals to reals to complex to transcendental, build off of the integers.

NaN, on the other hand, is the basis of nothing, and isn’t even that interesting on it’s own. I’ve been programming and dealing with floating-point numbers for years, and do you know how many times NaN has come in useful? precisely zero. even calculations that ‘should’ result in NaN, like dividing by zero, usually don’t even use it, instead just throwing an error. why? because an error is more useful than a NaN the vast majority of the time.

you know what NaN is? floating point filler. there were a bunch of bit representations left over (16,777,214 for the standard, 32-bit float) and the designers of the IEEE 754 float decided to make them all NaN because they didn’t know what else to use them for.

*doom music starts to play* I actually kindof like scheduling these kinds of appointments now...

but seriously Fellas, don't forget to schedule a pap smear every couple of years just in case. If you still have a cervix you can still get cervical cancer. ilu

this has been a psa

I’ve been looking for an opportunity to recommend a shit-ton of webcomics.

Every webcomic on this list is ongoing, SFW, and has its own website with an RSS feed (categorized list under the cut).

not furry sci-fi:

Cassiopeia Quinn: space opera kind of deal (somewhat spicy costume design. despite that, the story told isn’t actually horny).

Leaving the Cradle: comparatively hard sci-fi about humanity’s first encounter with aliens.

furry sci-fi:

Astral Sounds: a researcher helps a test subject escape and they explore the stars together.

Derideal: dark/dystopian sci-fi about genetically modified sapient animals created in a lab and used in secret missions by the corporate government.

Freefall: long-running comic strip about a kleptomaniac alien, a genetically engineered wolf engineer, and a lot of robots.

Key to the Future’s Fate: a boy is kidnapped to the future where he learns that he was a very important man.

Lancer: a squad of starfighter pilots is displaced in time after a mission gone wrong.

Space Pawdyssey: a mix of characters with different backgrounds come together to crew a ship. Adventures happen.

furry fantasy:

Bethellium: story about a secret city of mages, and a dark family history

Bloodline: characters must deal with the fallout of their father being a demon.

Journey to the Skyline: a young girl is exiled from her floating island home and meets a grumpy shark. Shenanigans ensue.

Norembridge: takes place in an old-fashioned psychological hospital with a protagonist we know little about.

Slightly Damned: a revived murder victim who escaped from hell, a young demon, and a nervous angel. There’s some romance and also an impending war.

Supercell: a child soldier at a school that secretly trains them has to protect the school from conspiracy, all while normal school is still happening.

Vápnthjófr Saga: based on Nordic folklore, a group of women are sent on a mission against their will.

furry slice-of-life:

Bittersweet Candy Bowl: long webcomic about kids going through middle/high school and the drama that comes with it.

Friends you Are Stuck With: a group of friends living together in an office-building-turned-apartment.

I Think I Like You: very gay (the RSS feed is a bit weird on this one. I do get fairly regular notifications, but not for new chapters. I just check for new chapters whenever a get a notification, which works but isn’t optimal).

Savestate: siblings who grew up playing video games together. Also there’s a demon.

Summer Vacation: high school friends deal with family and another, missing friend during their last summer before going to college.

furry other:

Cashmere Sky: anachronistic sci-fi-ish/slice-of-life-ish story. I dunno how to describe it but I really like it.

Hello from Halo Head: kind of slice-of-life, but like, metaphysical. Described by the author as a “traumedy”

Stormwolves: superhero story where a pair of cousins protect the city

Tukk and Rol: high school, drama, and government conspiracies
