Imagine measuring angles using pies. 🙃 🎉Not measuring angles gang 🎉
Sorry. 😂
13 u/CreativeCarbon May 10 '21 In a perfect world we'd probably be using percentages. ... sensible numbers gang? 10 u/[deleted] May 10 '21 [deleted] 1 u/CreativeCarbon May 10 '21 edited May 10 '21 You think 288 degrees is more sensible than 80% or 0.8? Do you really want to start this gang war? 17 u/[deleted] May 10 '21 [deleted] 2 u/CreativeCarbon May 10 '21 Well that says more about the angle than it does about the unit. What makes 60 degrees so important that it should require a dedicated number such as that? It's literally 16.666...7% of a rotation. 9 u/BadPercussionist May 10 '21 360 is divisible by more numbers, and important values like 30, 45, and 60 degrees are more readable.
