  • If you follow the surface with your finger, starting from the outside, you can end up on the inside, without traversing the surface. There is only one surface, no concept of outside or inside, contrary to a good old cube for instance.

    Similar to a Moebius strip but with a higher dimension. A MS is easier to understand since you can easily make one to try to run your finger on the surface and end up anywhere.







  • Haha stupid BuyNLarge fans, you’re a bunch of mainstream gullible sheep. You’ll buy any shit that big corpos will present you. Morons.

    I don’t fall in this consumer trap, I choose to buy my stuff at a little known shop. Sure it’s more expensive but the quality is a lot higher. If you want to try, it’s called B&L (by BuyNLarge).

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_edible_dormouse

    Etymology

    The word dormouse comes from Middle English dormous, of uncertain origin, possibly from a dialectal *dor-, from Old Norse dár ‘benumbed’ and Middle English mous ‘mouse’.

    The word is sometimes conjectured to come from an Anglo-Norman derivative of dormir ‘to sleep’, with the second element mistaken for mouse, but no such Anglo-Norman term is known to have existed.[4]

    The Latin word glis, which is the origin of the scientific name, is from the Proto-Indo-European root *gl̥h₁éys ‘weasel, mouse’, related to Sanskrit गिरि girí ‘mouse’ and Ancient Greek γαλέη galéē ‘weasel’.

    The Wikipedia article slides over the word ‘edible’ like it’s a complete non-problem
