- naklitechie 29d agoThis deserves a simulator
- setopt 29d agoAh yes, indeed, the well-known point-cow approximation!
- Sharlin 28d agoThe point-cow is simply the zero-dimensional generalization of the spherical cow.
- classified 29d agoHence for all practical purposes, zero-dimensional cows are spherical.
