Trig

Well its day 0 now since you technically used them in this meme even if it was only the words

Yeah you are. You can’t use electricity without it.

Basic trigonometry is super useful and not that hard to understand or memorize.

I sin everyday.

Trig is honestly the math I've used the most since finishing school. But to be fair, that is mostly because it's useful as hell when doing game development as a hobby.

You may have used them indirectly in the compression of your image

if you were a more interesting person you could make up a use for them

The only function is sine, the rest are just remixes and ratios

Alternatively, you could be this guy.

I like math :) Its mysterious and fascinating and constantly surprising, like seeing the source code of the universe. Closest shit we have to actual magic.

Me, whose going to start studying EE: 😭

I use it all the time. I'm an engineer though so it doesn't really counteract what you're saying.

One day, while working on a website, I was wondering how to calculate a specific point in a graph. After googling, the answer was by using sine and cosine. Mind blew away, I had always thought I'd never use them.

[TRIGONOMETRY WARNING]

Trigonometry is extremely useful when constructing things. Need to know the length of wood needed to go from corner to corner. That's trig my friend.

I see you have never built a chicken coop.

Me working on graphics and audio programming all day.

Oh I am sinning like a motherfucker

When you're in school you think calculus is the fucking shit, but in the real world you actually use trig way more often.

Meanwhile, pretty much every object in the room that had to be manufactured with any precision uses trig.

Use them all the time as a mechanical engineer

I use trig every few years when buying a tv. Tv specs always list diagonal but rarely horizontal and vertical which is needed for knowing how a TV will fit in a space.

Weird, I use them almost every day doing procedural animation and modeling.

did you know 1209 is a prime number? or maybe not, I'm just a cat :3

That is just cause you are unemployed.

Your phone relies on trigonometry.

No such luck as a physics prof :/

Having coded a 3D engine: sin and cos are cool. Tan can fuck right off. Atan doubly so.

And radians are the devil's work.

SOH-CAH-TOA , mothafucka'!

But his arms are making a triangle.

With angles that need to be found...

I use all three every single day as a machinist xD

I use almost daily

Damn, I've been trying but I keep relapsing

I.e. day 1209 of not doing anything useful or being a poet. Are you a poet?

Not me. I went years without until last week I realised I needed them for a script that points an object at a target in Maya. Turns out trig is really fucking universal.

This guy.

He's known for a different meme, but he's used in this one and manages to look like he's posing at gunpoint after being told "look casual and not afraid. Now, smile."

The fuck you mean? I sin almost every day

In HS trig class I asked the teacher what was the actual logic behind the tan function, and she said "well it's just programmed into your calculator" and I said I realized that but how did it work, she told me to go ask the AP calc teacher.

Just don't play Warframe or Path of Exile and you can continue that streak

So no one makes little games as a hobby anymore?

I use lerp() and d3.js so I don't have to use any of this shit.

I don't think I've ever used them.
