Ooh, I wonder if this is just a goofy stock photo, a sincere attempt to measure the length of a coastline, or an illustration of the difficulty of that task.

Sincere attempt to measure the length of a coastline?

[-] papalonian@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Is that your guess, or are you puzzled by the concept?

Measuring a coastline creates a well known paradox: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coastline_paradox

I don't like to get reminded that never have the right measurement of things

I learned a thing. Thank you.

I argue that this is due to the poor definition of a coastline. I don't know why. I go into problem solving mode, and I'm like... yeah... poorly defined problem. Root cause found... uhh... now what. Coastline starts at where water reaches only high tide? No. Continental shelf? Certainly not. Point where building foundations are no longer stable? Maybe, but I don't know enough... yet.

.... is this ADHD? Seriously, my psychiatrist thought I was right on the border. I dunno

Edit: I'm dumb and misunderstood the problem. Disregard me
