Ryan's Toy Review

Used to have fun content. Now the kids all gets abused to 'stay on the camera' and the parents have complete control. - mini-documentaries on YouTube about the family

Thanks to cancel culture (I can't believe I'm saying that), a lot of content concering abuse in Ryan's Toy Review have come out.

Group theory

Field of abstract algebra dealing with how different symmetries relate to each other (e.g. are they equal? parts of each other? "multiply" to give some other group we want?)

There's a nice VISUAL introduction to group theory which is (imo) watchable at mid-high school levels (15+ yo ish): 3Blue1Brown's video currently titled "Group theory, abstraction, and the 196883-dimensional monster"

Compact Claustrophobia

Compact Claustrophobia is a Minecraft FTB (Feed The Beast - not the being angry one, but the custom challenge map making heavy use of mods) modpack. Its premise is based upon being stuck in a small bedrock hallway and entering a 3 by 3 by 3 room. In this room, you craft materials to create larger rooms (5x5x5, 7x7x7, 9x9x9, 11x11x11, 13x13x13) and automate many tasks in a heavily modded playthrough. The player (in an ideal playthrough) eventually gets access to a bedrock pickaxe to break the bedrock chamber they spawn in, and continue to progress in the Overworld (if they wish to) and beat the Ender Dragon by use of an "End Cake" that teleports you to the End.

Compact Claustrophobia is a Minecraft modpack based on the Compact Machines mod that allows you to fit rooms inside a single block.
"I escaped Compact Claustrophobia and all I got was this lousy T-shirt"
I finally got a Nuclear Furnace in early-game Compact Claustrophobia and it is like 70 times faster than a regular furnace lol
If you don't go the way of automation in Compact Claustrophobia, you will go through a long and hard slog of manually grinding (or macroing if you're into that for some reason).
Compact Claustrohpobia without Click Machine is like doing pushups on your knees, it just doesn't work out

Elliptic curve

(NOT AN ELLIPSE!!!) Elliptic curve: y*y = x*x*x + A*x + B for some A and B. Seemingly simple enough (if you've gotten past high school algebra at least). However, if you make some special points, you can create a whole new number system. And there are so many of these (just change your values for A and B).

Elliptic curve cryptography are based on the idea that multiplying by, say, 329857349875 isn't *that* hard... but dividing by it is HELL. It's a reliable one-way function, which is pretty important for encryption! Another application is factorization, but I'm not too sure on that one so ask google ig

Farewell golden

Farewell golden (abbreviated 'fwg') is a golden strawberry in Celeste. It is without a doubt the HARDEST mechanical challenge Celeste has to offer, being part of the coveted total 202 berry count. Few people have gotten it and there is an 'elite' list of those who have achieved such peak. Celeste base game difficulty goes from Beginner to Intermediate to low Advanced. Many people have reached high Expert and mid Grandmaster without attaining 202 berries. So, it's much, MUCH harder than you think, with almost perfect gameplay demanded for around 50 rooms, and another 50 that aren't necessarily easy either.

Most climbing mishaps occur due to exhaustion. Remember to take regular breaks!

"...so many people on youtube be getting farewell golden with 120 hours, i don't know how to feel considering my 150 hours"

Farewell Golden Completed!
200+ hours over 2 months and a jump from 7BG
Thank you to everyone who supported me

smots gaming

smots gaming (stylised as all lowercase) is a YouTube channel which posts daily content about the room smots-8 (or SMOTS-8 with a funny twist. The channel was created by an unknown person on April 26th, 2024. It has been titled "Celeste's Biggest Sh*tpost" by another popular Celeste channel (being Daily Dose of Celeste).

The smots gaming room is SMOTS-8, (SMOTS stands for "Scattered Mirror of the Storm") and this SMotS checkpoint is from Monika's Final Goodbye, aka 9D (itself being a modded map for Celeste).

Lie groups

(I'm sorry, they're not groups that Lie) groups of Lie type are the funniest jokes in mathematical group theory. Basically, all the math experts panic because they don't know what to call Liars. They concern "acting on" stuff that is "smooth" and have "many symmetries". (e.g. a piece of paper is smooth but with few symmetries; a circle is smooth (no sudden jolts) and has infinite symmetries.) technically, manifolds

Disputes regarding Lie groups' classification (techincally finite groups of Lie type iirc) happen due to isomorphisms and very similar properties. Derived from the classification of finite simple groups, Lie groups can exhibit unexpected isomorphisms with other types of groups. So we have no clue how to classify them.

Joke: 'Basically, the Lie groups all Lied and so the mathematicians got very confused'
