I don’t remember all my geometric rules I guess, but can an arc, intersecting a line, ever truly be a right angle? At no possible length of segment along that arc can you draw a line that’s perpendicular to the first.

Here, in case you forgot:
People don’t even need car tbh. Motorbikes everywhere please. Zip zip, less traffic, everyone pays attention to road or falls and dies.

Distributed all over the world. They ALL have traffic led by cars. I guess I haven’t been to Mumbai…
Your assumptions are wrong, and you live in fantasy. Get over it.

This entire thread is led by those laying wide-reaching proclamations while being unable to consider any situation other than their own.

This is a stupid thread.

credo@lemmy.worldtoUnited States | News & Politics@midwest.social•Why Musk Skipped Over US Military Excess In His DOGE Efficiency Goals16·1 month agoI especially like how you nonsensically meandered from calling Doge a scam, to calling the entire DoD a scam, without any clear transition from your initial argument to what you ultimately argued at the end.
And thus, this is all proof Doge is a scam…
I mean, it is a scam. And it appears meant to break the Government- because rich people are stupid enough to think they can continue to function in a broken society… but your argument doesn’t exactly help to depict that. Or that a rational opposition exists.

I guess if we define it as a calculus problem, I can see the point…
I didn’t mean to pun but there it is and I’m leaving it. Any way, there is no infinitely small section that’s perpendicular. Only the tangent at a single (infinitely small) point along a smooth curve, as we approach from either direction. Maybe that’s still called perpendicular.
