Trent probably secretly loves all the mashups too but you could never get him to admit it

He loved the Miley Cyrus covers in that Black Mirror episode, so much that he made merch for the songs on his own. Trent isn't the "angry at everyone and everything" guy anymore, he's even managed to not abuse his band members for a while now.

To be fair, that cover was extremely obviously better than the original for like three different reasons, which he acknowledged as you say.

It's like he wrote the song for Cash without knowing it.

That's easy. Make the angle 90° and turn the cone into a cylinder.

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.
I assume by "lateral height," they mean what I've always heard called "slant height." If the slant height is constant, that means it's a right cone, and the slant height L is given by the pythagorean theorem as L2 = r2 + h2. Solving for r2 and plugging that into the volume equation for a cylinder, we get

V = 1/3 pi h (L2 - h2)

Since we want to maximize V given a fixed L, we'll take the derivative with respect to h.

dV/dh = 1/3 pi L2 - pi h2

To find the local maximum, we set this to zero, and solve to get

h = L/sqrt(3)

Using Pythagoras again, we can get r, if we care:

r = L * sqrt(2/3)

To get the angle from the base, we can do some trigonometry:

angle = arcsin(h/L) = arcsin (1/sqrt(3))

which is about 35 degrees.

I have no idea why the woman in the meme is thinking about 30-60-90 and 45-45-90 triangles; she must be confused.

edit: just realized the meme specifies they want the angle of the "top part," not the base. so, about 55 degrees from the vertical.

I don't remember. This was posted a few years ago on a local Facebook group. During a time when there was protests and such sooooo that's not unlikely a BLM response.

I mean, but also it could be that there's just a nihilist who hates positive affirmations.

It's a grown-up putting up signs with generic motivational poster slogans up in their front yard. They mean well but this agressive positivity that is simultaneously so completely half-assed is just asking for a swirly.

No, gently caress them for being really loving lazy about it. Like, what the gently caress are those signs? The energy put into printing those and putting them up could have been used more constructively in a hundred different ways, but this guy is probably happy with a job well done broadcasting their mediocre messages of "Hang in there'Kitty!" to people on the sidewalk.
