11:23 <+baddog> duckinator: well suppose you have a 2mx2m square
11:23 <+duckinator> right
11:23 <+baddog> and you draw a line starting at one corner
11:23 <+baddog> and going 1 unit left one unit down 1 unit left 1 unit down
11:24 <+baddog> so you get to the diagonally opposite corner
11:24 <+duckinator> mhm
11:24 <+baddog> length of that line is 4
11:24 <+baddog> 4m*
11:24 <+CodeBlock>  1 unit left one unit down 1 unit left
11:24  * CodeBlock lols at the 1/one change
11:24 <+baddog> now do the same thing, only with 0.5 m lines
11:24 <+baddog> CodeBlock: :P
11:24 <+duckinator> CodeBlock:

11:24 <+baddog> now do the same thing with 0.01m lines
11:24 <+baddog> now do the same thing with 
0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001m lines
11:25 <+duckinator> baddog: all on the same box?
11:25 <+baddog> duckinator: same box
11:25 <+baddog> well yeah. same dimensions
11:25 <+baddog> all of those lines
11:25 <+baddog> are 4m long
11:25 <+baddog> in a diagonal line
11:25 <+baddog> well
11:25 <+baddog> roughly diagonal
11:26 <+baddog> and then when you get down to a perfect diagonal, the line is more like a 2.8m line
11:26 <+baddog> 1.2m difference
11:26 <+duckinator> (continue from #nixeagle-quiet) danopia`: yea leave your email :P
11:26 <+baddog> and you could get so incredibly small
11:26 <+baddog> and it'd still be 4
11:26 <+baddog> but then all of a sudden
11:26 <+baddog> it's 2.8
