minus-squarecalcopiritus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down4·1 year agoThere has been a “metric” measurement of angles for a long time. The radian. It’s pi based instead of 10 based, but it makes way more sense than degrees.

minus-squareRodeo@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down2·1 year agoYes, it really does. Degrees are arbitrary, radians are derived from the unit circle.

No, it really doesn’t
Yes, it really does. Degrees are arbitrary, radians are derived from the unit circle.
Arbitrary with extra steps
The unit circle is hardly arbitrary.
This is all arbitrary
If everything is arbitrary, nothing is arbitrary.
Do you even know what arbitrary means?
Surely its meaning is arbitrary.
