Why isn't there a religion based around ϕ yet?

Because that'd be like basing a religion around the square root of two. Sure, it's got some interesting properties (it's the intersection point of a sine and cosine! Its inverse plus its imaginary inverse has an absolute value of 1!), but these values are mostly the same thing when you think about it and it's not much of an interesting number otherwise.

But the Golden Ratio is literally everywhere.

wot u gabberin about m9? There's plenty of places where it isn't.

Anything is ϕ if you try hard enough.

I think he does and that's the reason why he posted in here. But seriously, this is disgusting. How is she not arrested for public indecency?

Yet another chat with a friend turned into cybering.

Noooooot that I'm complaining.

I had a - completely unrelated - conversation involving ϕ today.
It begins.

The e and pi, on the other hand...

The Greeks actually sacrificed a bunch of cattle after discovering that pi is transcendental.

This one was always weird.

EDIT: Actually, that one makes sense, since that's just circumference. Never mind.

I don't keep up on politics much, but someone linked me to a picture of this graph:

If you're like me it might take you a minute to notice what's wrong with the graph.

Sweetie, does your friend know that you are not old enough to do that?

I don't think Objective or his friend or anyone else really cares.
