I hereby propose we make a workforce to rename all the stuff named after Euler.
It's just horrible. What's the difference between Euler's relation and Euler's ratio? What about Euler's rule and Euler's method? Do all of those only name a single thing? Who knows? Why does Google just replace half of them by their preferred Euler named stuff? Who knows?
We should do this but for math:
Most of the billionaires simply own companies worth billions. They don't have much liquid wealth, they don't have much income
What they have is loans paid off when they die sufficient to buy anything
I'll sign this!

But I'm not walking my dog at Elon's park!
From up top, the bushes seem to be placed in the shape of a swastika.
For no reason, apparently.
I would let my dog shit there but just wouldn't pick it up(I clean up after my dog everywhere else)
You might if it was the symbol that kept him under a billion.
We can call it the Euler Award for Excessive Achievement in Science. Or the Eulies if you're in the industry. And we can make a big deal about it if anyone pronounces it "the yoolies"
Isn't eu pronounced oy
Yep, I think the accepted English pronunciation of "Euler" is as a homophone of "oiler", so the award would be "the oilies". I never heard the name out loud as a kid so I pronounced it "you'-ler" until well into adulthood, until someone made a big deal about me not pronouncing it correctly. I remember the occasion very clearly 🙃
Every number is now Euler's number.
