One of the stranger things about training brand new nurses is explaining how to min max small talk. It feels very weird to coach people on how to chat.
if I make and post an insanely detailed powerpoint on the twenty different equations I run mentally during casual conversation to make it flow better, everyone has to say that it’s sexy and cool and not weird at all
remember, everyone promised to be cool! also disclaimer disclaimer disclaimer assume I said all the things you’d say to be like “i know human interaction is complicated, i know some of what i listed here would be very annoying to some people,” and all that
me googling “how many sphincters in the human body” out of pure zest for life

nobody wants to accept that the iris is a sphincter but I’ll fight and bite on this hill
me pulling out the Wikipedia article on Iris sphincters like blue eyes white dragon
sorry I got side tracked by
cerulean orbsdark sphincters but the answer to “how many sphincters in the human body” seems to not be a straightforward googling. various sources of questionable quality are saying 40-50 sphincters. I must do more research“list of all sphincter muscles”
Wikipedia: “There are over 60 types [of sphincters] in the human body,[citation needed]”
you’d think this would be easier information to find but such is the thrill of the chase
It seem the answer might be “millions” thanks to microscopic precapillary sphincters… this is a more exciting rabbit hole than I expected going in.
our very blood flow controlled by sphincters… it makes a certain sense. we are tube creatures that regulate fluids

how has no one added the best erd?s story
from the wikipedia page „history and culture of substituted amphetamines“
I’m very partial to the escalator story, which I have probably posted in the past, here’s a screenshot of it from an MAA website because I couldn’t copy it off there.
It’s told from the perspective of ronald graham, who was Erdös’ friend, a great mathematician, and also known for his athleticism (among other things)
This guy is so integral to mathematics that people have pissing contests over how many degrees of separation they are from having published a paper with him. It’s called your “Erd?s number”.

“This is the October surprise: everyone, including the media, finally realizing what the MAGA movement truly is and being unafraid to state it. The “comedian” himself sure as heck sees nothing wrong with his racism and bigotry. And Gimenez, despite criticizing Hinchcliffe, sure went out of his way to praise Trump, the guy whose operation hired Hinchcliffe for the act. This is who they are.”

Trump’s racist Nazi rally at Madison Square Garden backfires spectacularly
It sure would be great if the vulgarity and racism finally mattered, at all.
