declutter one small space in your home

Back on my “figuring out my shelves” bullshit again! Never happy!

I have too many books (collectibles, dolls, vhs collection) and less shelves and it drives me nuts.

The geometry of a cone is defined by a flat, circular base tapering smoothly to a single point called the apex. In nature, this shape often emerges from the physics of granular flow, the optimization of structural strength, or the efficiency of fluid dynamics.

Here are some of the most prominent mathematical examples of cones found in the natural world.

1. Cinder Cones (Volcanoes)

Cinder cones are perhaps the most visually striking examples of “ideal” cones. They form when gas-charged lava is blown into the air, breaks into small fragments (cinders), and falls back around the vent.

The shape is dictated by the Angle of Repose. This is the steepest angle at which a sloping surface of loose material is stable. For dry volcanic cinders, this angle is typically between 30^\circ and 35^\circ, resulting in a remarkably consistent conical profile across different geographic locations.

2. The “Cone of Depression”

In hydrology, when water is pumped out of an underground aquifer through a well, the water table sinks around the well pipe. Because the water moves through the soil at a rate determined by Darcy’s Law, it creates a three-dimensional inverted cone of empty space in the water table.

Mathematically, the curve of this cone is often hyperbolic or logarithmic near the center, but it is colloquially and structurally referred to as a cone because of its radial symmetry and tapering depth.

3. Coniferous Trees

The name “Conifer” itself refers to the cone-shaped “fruit” (pinecones) these trees bear, but the trees themselves, such as Spruces and Firs, often grow in a conical habit.

* Shedding Snow: The conical shape allows snow to slide off the branches more easily, preventing the weight from snapping the limbs.

* Light Absorption: The tapering top ensures that lower branches are not completely shaded by the ones above, a biological application of solid geometry to maximize surface area exposure to sunlight.

4. Marine Shells (Conidae)

The “Cone Snail” produces a shell that is a near-perfect geometric cone. This shape is the result of a biological growth process called logarithmic spiraling. As the organism grows, it rotates around a central axis (the columella) while expanding its mantle, creating a shell that is functionally a coiled cone.

5. Alluvial Fans

When a fast-moving stream exits a narrow canyon onto a flat plain, the water slows down and spreads out, depositing sediment. Because the sediment spreads radially from a single point (the canyon mouth), it forms a partial cone known as an alluvial fan. If you were to look at the cross-section, the slope decreases as you move away from the apex, following a predictable mathematical decay based on the grain size of the sediment.

Comparison of Conical Structures

| Feature | Mathematical Driver | Example |

|—|—|—|

| Volcano | Angle of Repose | Parícutin (Mexico) |

| Pinecone | Fibonacci Spirals | Pinus ponderosa |

| Whirlpool | Centripetal Force | Vortices in a river |

| Stalactites | Gravity & Surface Tension | Limestone caves |

Would you like to explore the calculus used to calculate the volume of these natural cones, or perhaps look into the logarithmic spirals found in seashells?

Yes, I have but I decided it would be more work than I’d want to invest in tumblr tournaments and that this blog was already enough time consuming as it was for me.

I also have plans for a future “help my fave keeps losing” tournament of some sort

Just adjusted my room a little bit. I still have a trimmed down “cutesy corner” for relaxing my inner child. But now I have the “cool older sister den” by my desk for letting my inner teen angst and brood and relax I guess lol. Anyways it’s really cool and I love it.

tidy up your living space, even just a little bit

I’m ready for March in my CP Petite discbound!

Thank you for pointing it out!

My bad, the correct poster should appear now on the poll

Engineers identify with writing code. PMs identify with writing specs. AI is automating both tasks — but the jobs remain. The orgs that confuse tasks with jobs will lose their best people first.

The Task Changed, The Job Didn’t — But Your Org Hasn’t Noticed Yet

I did a lot of work with Daryl and Shane (ew) around the room! We folded some laundry, went through two boxes, and scrubbed up the wall near the litter boxes because these damn cats wipe their paws on my wall and it pisses me off.
