Todays rip: 07/03/2024
Mr. 2​.​718281828459045235360287471352662497757247093699959574966967627724076630353547594571382178525166427427466391932003059921817413596629043572900334295260595630738132328627943490763233829880753195251019011573834187930702154089149934884167509244761460668082264800168477411853742345442
Season 6 Featured on: SiIvaGunner's Highest Quality Rips: Volume FF
Ripped by The Green Spy
youtube
I'm forever going to be mad that I missed the chance to post this rip on February 7th (2.7) instead of Battle Emergency...but hey, 3.7 is pretty close to e as well, isn't it? Also, formal congratulations to the longest-yet title of a rip to be featured on the blog, up against stiff competition like The expanse of meme in past was split, A fiendish trap has now been set; Behind a tree the villains sit, Terror of sport, the Robbie's Net. and If I chopped Pikachu up in a meat grinder, and the only thing that comes out and is left of him is his eyeball, he's PROBABLY dead. Nay, I say, today's rip stands head and shoulders above them both! Today's rip, is Mr. 2​.​718281828459045235360287471352662497757247093699959574966967627724076630353547594571382178525166427427466391932003059921817413596629043572900334295260595630738132328627943490763233829880753195251019011573834187930702154089149934884167509244761460668082264800168477411853742345442.
Setting aside the absurdity of the title for a moment though, there is some really fun stuff to dig into with this rip. You may recall, be it through having kept up with the blog or just being aware of SiIva's most well-remember rips in general, one of MtH's finest works in 【=3】e-MUNO Disco (vs. 音MAD AGENT) - a Season 2 rip that I think permanently altered the way my brain functions in some way by being my first-ever exposure to Yousuke Yasui's music. Yet sitting amidst the primary jokes in that rip, be it "Minecraft With Gadget" as part of the Inspector Gadget takeover, as well as other then-relevant sources such as Rock My Forum of LAST YTPMV​^​2 OF 2016 fame and the greatest French rapper of our lifetime, there was one quite bizarre source - "e", by the math education YouTube channel Numberphile.
Numberphile's channel itself is incredibly wholesome and useful, and the people contributing to it like James Grime have a genuinely excellent knack for explaining and demonstrating complex concepts in a concise yet wholly understandable way. Their output isn't exactly something you'd think of as memetic - that is, of course, with the exception of the video featuring the funniest thumbnail ever put onto YouTube: e (Euler's Number) - Numberphile. It was simply a perfect storm: the rise in the use of "e" as part of deepfried ironic shitposting of the mid-2010s, the absurd enthusiasm James Grime shows in both the thumbnail and the video's introduction, the eloquence of which he explains the meaning of this silly letter. It only first showed up on SiIvaGunner itself during the start of Season 2, with the aptly titled rip "e", and became sort of a sleeper hit gag during the Season: hell, during this year's SiIvaGunner MAGFest panel, channel manager MtH confirmed that e is still one of her all-time favorite channel memes. And, yeah: its funny factor is shown to great effect in (brace yourselves!) Mr. 2​.​718281828459045235360287471352662497757247093699959574966967627724076630353547594571382178525166427427466391932003059921817413596629043572900334295260595630738132328627943490763233829880753195251019011573834187930702154089149934884167509244761460668082264800168477411853742345442.
You take a source as prime for YTPMV-ing, sentence mixing and pitch shifting as the original Numberphile video, and attach it to perhaps the greatest YTPMV song of all time in Mr. Patch from Banjo-Tooie (Mr. PACs ~ Obamjo-Roomnie, anyone?), and the result is almost destined to be gold. Putting a source so reliant on making out what the narrator is saying together with a song infamous for its hectic tempo may well have been the biggest challenge preventing a rip like this from having been made, but let us not forget that this is The Green Spy we're dealing with here. And if there's anything I've gathered about The Green Spy as an anonymous contributor through their rips alone, rips like (YTPMV) Bob​-​Omb Battlesources and ESPECIALLY Mad Mew Mew Becoming Uncanny, its that they truly know their stuff about YTPMVs.
The added visuals is just the cherry on top of it all. Though its standard for YTPMVs off of SiIva, and occasionally even on the channel itself such as with Crompton Racing, the visuals on Mr. 2​.​718281828459045235360287471352662497757247093699959574966967627724076630353547594571382178525166427427466391932003059921817413596629043572900334295260595630738132328627943490763233829880753195251019011573834187930702154089149934884167509244761460668082264800168477411853742345442 are so effective at punctuating every little surprise and detail made to the rip. Be it the surprise appearance of Jack Black's famous "dick!" sample, the brief change to suddenly start listing the number One repeatedly instead of the sequence of numbers that define the joke (and the title!), the uses of "e" from the fonts of WarioWare Smooth Moves, feature in the aforementioned first appearance of Numberphile on SiIva...while the joke hasn't been featured all too frequently on SiIva as of late, its rips like this that make the joke's reappearance always feel triumphant - its the kind of source you have to WORK for to make funny, and The Green Spy pulls it off with absolute aplomb.

Todays rip: 08/06/2023
【=3】e-MUNO Disco (vs. 音MAD AGENT)
Featured on: Inspector Gunner, The SiIvaGunner YTPMV Collab (Eek!).veg, SiIvaGunner: Starter Kit & Essentials Ripped by MtH Visuals by Craz Xexe
youtube
Hi Emma!
I want to say that this rip was one of the first I recall actively putting in a playlist in YouTube - it stuck out to me even back then as something special, both in its creativity and just full-on audio appeal. As the lead manager of the entire SiIvaGunner channel, @mth-emma has shown time and time again just how well fit she is for the job, both in her consistently creative and fun output as well as her sense of humor fitting the channel like a glove. The sudden Inspector Gadget takeover of Season 2 was one of the biggest rug-pulls the channel had seen at that time, and while many old fans just full-on didn't engage with the channel for the week or so that it lasted, the ones that stuck around were met with treats like this.
Taking the best from the magical world of YTPMV and one of the funniest possible audio sources - Minecraft with Gadget - this rip effectively feels like Season 2 incarnate, firing on full cylinder with jokes that nobody really believed in before their mass adoption. This extends to its second joke as well, Numberphile's e, which had barely been present on the channel before this rip yet basically became a favorite just from its appearance here. Like I've said before, escalation is what sets the best rips apart from the rest in my eyes, and I honestly think this rip might've been where I got that mindset from? It manages to both be an absolute bop from the sources used in it whilst also continuing to be an entertaining ride for first-time listeners across its entire 2-and-a-half minute runtime.
Sidenote: Its a damn shame Amuno has effectively disappeared from the channel since Season 2, yet also very funny that his presence basically began and ended at the Season's beginning and finale. His appearance at the end of this rip in particular just helps solidify it as Season 2 SiIvaGunner incarnate.

Hitomezashi Stitch Patterns
When I was a little boy I was never very good at colouring in between the lines and was very jealous of the girls in my class who did it beautifully and apparently effortlessly.
Even now and as someone who regards themselves as a process led artist I try to avoid colouring things in, but a few days ago I was watching a Numberphile video on YouTube, and it was about Hitomezashi stitch patterns and how they are generated.
Hitomezashi Stitch Patterns - Numberphile (youtube.com)
You find a rule that results in a binary string, so you might for instance choose a piece of text and if a letter is a consonant record a zero and if a vowel record a one, or a number if a digit is odd a zero if even a one. You then use this string to decide if a row or column of stitches starts with a stitch showing or hidden on the other side of the fabric. If just drawing patterns then you leave a space or start with a line.
Traditionally the stitches are done at right angles but in the video the demonstrator also introduces a triangular version, which complicates the pattern somewhat.
I admit to having cheated, the patterns were generated in CorelDraw and then coloured in Paint, the first pattern is coloured to show that such patterns are two colourable. The others follow no colouring rule other than my own garish taste.
This has been an entertaining way to spend some time over Easter but before I leave it I think I will try the sides of some different polygons.

I know this is about 69 factorial and how it's the biggest number you can (or can't?) do on old calculators but like
do you think Brady knows how funny this thumbnail is, always has been, and always will be

I bought a klein bottle! What the sphere is to the circle, the klein bottle is to the mobius strip. In 4 dimensions, it is an object with only one side, which is represented in 3-space as a self-intersecting bottle. A sphere encloses a fixed volume and separates the universe into two parts, the space inside the sphere and the space outside it, but there is no topological difference between the "inside" and "outside" of a klein bottle; if you were an ant walking along its surface (in 4-space), you could enter the hole on the bottom, crawl through the handle, continue along the interior surface, crawl back up the other side of the handle, and return to the same spot on the exterior that you started from. The mobius strip has one edge, the klein bottle has one side, it encloses no space and therefore has no volume. The calibration decal in the last image can be applied to turn it into a graduated cylinder from zero hundred milliliters to zero hundredths of a milliliter.
Special thanks to Dr. Cliff Stoll, a regular collaborator over at Numberphile.

Winning at Snakes and Ladders
Winning at Snakes and Ladders The fantastic Marcus de Sautoy has just made a video on how to use Markov chains to work out how long it will take to win at Snakes and Ladders.  This uses a different method to those I’ve explored before (Playing Games with Markov Chains) so it’s well worth looking at in more detail.   The game This simplified version of Snakes and Ladders will have 9 squares, one…
