What do you consider entertainment? Do you not do any activities or consume any media that entertains you?

Oh wow I hadn't even noticed, but you're right!

I think what they mean is that if your post gets to the front-page via the second-chance pool and then gets 100 upvotes, your karma increases only by 50.

Wow, I wasn't expecting to find a reference to a horror manga in the comments of my post about (what I believed to be) innocuous spirals! That's amazing, although I'm too squeamish to try and read it!

I found this very interesting too, and it actually has a great explanation! Maybe I should have even explored this side a bit deeper in the post itself.

Let's say the spiral has rotated 6000 degrees, and I'm approximating it with 100 points (one point every 60 degrees) and line segments. Well, a hexagon is nothing other than 6 points chosen 60 degrees apart from each other at the same distance from a central point, connected with straight lines. The same thing holds for a square at, e.g. 9000 degrees.

Check out these images to see what I mean: https://imgur.com/a/mvIVuch

Thanks for sharing! I hadn't managed to find another good example "in the wild" so this is pretty cool. It's at a larger scale than my examples too!

Thanks a lot! I agree that there is great educational potential in this format. I've definitely learned some cool things myself from the posts at https://explorabl.es/

It's a great JavaScript library for creative coding called p5.js. Here is the code for one of the degenerate spirals in their web editor, which you can play around with: https://editor.p5js.org/dogatekin/sketches/utJunQyLi

The factor that makes it stand out for me is the community. The r/adventofcode subreddit is very active every year and not only can you learn programming tips and tricks from others but you can also see people doing crazy things like solving problems in tools like Excel, Git, etc. and cool visualizations of their solutions.
