Joke's on you, I sin every day.

The smarter kids in your class probably do use them.

But you use things that use them.

There is at least one smbc for everything

I use them every day. Making science is rad as fuck.

Sin, Cos and Tan were gifted to us by the gods, and it's solely your fault, if you don't use them daily in your freetime.

But you do use them everyday, because the Internet would not work without them.

Sad take.

The non-programmer folks upvote this post. I mean, not that I use it for every app, but I have used it in recent memory. SOH-CAH-TOA, bitches!

I use them at least once a week

Every day, I use them ever damn day.

This was me for years.

And then I had to write some software that needed to visualise a rotary milking platform which is a circle, divided into segments, with different parts of each segment showing different things at different times.

Oh, and since it's rotary, the circle had to be animated and rotate in sync with the actual milking platform.

Oh and different clients had different numbers of bays in their platforms so I couldn't hardcode anything, it had to dynamically draw the platform, animate it and respond to events like window size change.

Suffice to say I had to drag highschool geometry out from the graveyard of my brain

I do almost everyday as a mechanical engineer. I even do the common angles in my head, which came in handy several times in situations where I’m sailing and something breaks underway etc

I often go on a TANgent when I'm thinking or talking about something. Does that count?

I love whipping out the low angle approximation at work and looking like a wizard.

I actually really enjoyed trig class.

I hated all math classes before it, but I had a great teacher and something about the real-life usefulness (triangulation, navigation, etc) of trig clicked for me and I enjoyed it and made an A.

I fucking failed the shit out of statistics, and hilariously that's the most related to my real life job, where I'm dealing with gigantic data sets daily looking for outliers/trends.

I still do occasionally. I don't study anything stem related. If you really want to use it you can think of thinks and it's nice to have been thought to be comfortable with numbers and functions and stuff.

Ratio

I just had to do some “find the angle” geometry this week to quantify some physical stuff that was going on in addition to what the software was causing.

And by “do,” I mean scribbling some triangles to figure out what I was calculating, then throwing the numbers into an online calculator!

Weird, I find them rather useful. How else do you calculate angles of things?

To check some flat-earthers I recently calculated the angle between an upright person and some skyscrapers 60 miles away.

That's a lot of circles and curves on your desk bro.

Whenever I'm making a hobby game I use so much half remembered trig.

atan2 my beloved 😍

Especially tan. Fuck tan.
