You may notice the first half of these instructions are similar to the instructions for a working nuclear fusion device. After the first few dozen steps, be sure to press down firmly and fold quickly to overcome fusion pressure.

1mm * 2^42 = 4'398'046.511104 km

Distance to moon: 405'500km

I'm sorry I ever doubted you. I shall immediately undo my downvote.

What kind of upside down ass country/region uses apostrophes for thousands separator?

Very sorry for you you aren't able to handle swiss supremacy ๐Ÿ˜ž๐Ÿ˜ž๐Ÿ˜ž

I'll pray for you ๐Ÿ˜ž๐Ÿ˜ž๐Ÿ˜ž

Sweden does. As we use a comma (,) to separate units from decimals instead of a dot. It's annoying. Some programs like Excel freaks, and wolfram alpha thinks you're using coordinates.

That would most probably be Switzerland. Perhaps a referendum can be set up to change that?

[-] Neon@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Actully no. A referemdum can only be taken against a law by the Government, meaning to stop a change and Not to cause one.

There is the initiative, but it can only change the constitution, not laws itself.

1mm thick is no longer in the realm if paper but into some form of heavy cardboard. That said, even at .05mm, its still a pretty think wad when folded up.
