I watched the new episode of “The Last of Us” yesterday, and they were praising one of the characters for being so smart and triangulating locations supposedly. She said she could do it faster if she had a protractor and all I could think was why wouldn’t she just make one if she actually needed it. She’s sitting there with paper and a pen.
Not sure why that bothered me at the time, but it bothers me that I let things like that bother me in movies/shows lol
That would be one way. Depends on how accurate you need. Could also wrap a piece of paper around your bean can, cut it to that length. Now you can mark 360 equal distant marks down the side, and rewrap around your bean can and trace it onto whatever object you want to make your protractor. But f that, 360 marks is to many, so fold the paper in 4, ignore the 3 sides and just do one, making just 90 degrees and you can duplicate it if you need after by rotating the can… then say f that and realize 5 degree marks are more than enough, so make 18 marks, or 9 marks if 10 degrees is accurate enough for your estimates.
There are a number of ways to do it, but being that beans are in the meme, bean can method is what I’d run with for fun

How could she place precise angle marks on her DIY protractor if she doesn’t have a protractor in the first place?
Folds
Oh yeah, I guess by folding in half to get 90, then again for 45 and so on?
