For me, it may be that the toilet paper roll needs to have the open end away from the wall. I don’t want to reach under the roll to take a piece! That’s ludicrous!

That or my recent addiction to correcting people when they use “less” when they should use “fewer”

    Base 12 seems a little impractical to me since humans have 10 fingers, which makes base 10 easier to teach to children, but it’s a matter of opinion i guess

    See my comment here for how to count to 12 using your fingers https://feddit.dk/comment/9999431

    τ is equal to 2π, which allows the formula for the circumference of a circle to be written more concisely (τr vs. 2πr or πd) but complicates most other places where π is used, like in the area of a circle (τr^2/2 vs. πr^2)

    Actually the circular area formula still makes more sense using tau. It is addressed in the tau manifesto as well, but I encourage you to read it from the start and not just that section (it’s not that long). There really is no good reason to use pi. Tau is the proper constant.
