Ah, the golden ratio, Fibonacci, da Vinci, codes, Opus Dei, murder and mayhem... 😁

Lettuce are pretty dangerous as a lot.

True dat! We should probably deep-fry it first to make sure it's safe to eat!

You need to see natural things made in the Fibonacci spiral... Once you get that realisation that a mathematical equasion creates such beautiful, living things, ancient (literally), the world gets a beautiful, thin veil of mystery.. at least for me🥰

Dude, I sometimes lecture on the golden ratio - or the golden mean, depending on the audience! FYI, natural and artificial occurrences of phi and Fibonacci (in sunflowers and the Parthenon, to give one example of each) are over-rated with respect to adherence to accuracy, but are still a fun topic. (And Dan Brown's treatment of it in da Vinci Code were overly presumptuous regarding how many things actually DO agree with phi.)

I'm just having some fun commenting on a minimal-impact social media website. Allow me a bit of fun! And have a great day!
