Welcome to the world, m8! :,-)

Quick 'proof' the taller the can, the more material used:

Consider two cases ignoring the top and bottom only focussing on the surface area. In the first case, you flatten so much the can has no height. This forms a ring that when unwrapped makes a length of 2 pi R.

Now stretch the can to be 'infinitely' long. By construction, this is longer than 2 pi r. Given both are made of aluminum, and have the same density, the larger can has more mass requiring more material.

The total mass must be a continuous function ranging from the linear mass density times the circumference of the circle to the same mass density time times the 'length' of the infinite line. This must remain true for any small increase in length between the two.

I'll leave this as an exercise to the reader. What if the circle has an infinite radius?

Weird what happens when 40% of the currency was printed in the last few years.

Are we blaming the government who control interest rates, gamify the CPI to depress inflation, and who control the corresponding new money supply that drives up the price of basic goods?

If housing, gold, and crypto are any indication people have far too much money than they know what to do with. You'd have to be a fool to not accumulate some cantillon effect for yourself when you're government is throwing money away.

See it was a joke because it was all broken English.

Hope this helps

I find the tagging system in lemmy more useful every day!
