In Polish language we commonly call turquoise "lightblue", so instinctively we'll have the boundary not at the middle of the turquoise, but between the turquiose and green, (i got hue 165, 95% of the population). We also call it "sea-color", but sea is also more culturally associated with blue than green.

It was sarcasm, no one uses anything like that outside of the US. Using football fields as a measure of distance is as "stupid american" meme around the world.

It's not true, despite population increase number of people dying of starvation goes down https://sites.tufts.edu/wpf/famine/ the reason of starvation in modern times is political, not production shortage.

Trivia related to the hyperbolic geometry - There was a game released recently that have a world set in hyperbolic space. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1256230/Hyperbolica/
If someone wants to 'grasp' what hyperbolic space is about, this game is one of the fun and inspiring ways to do that.

"We will assume no background knowledge on behalf of the student, starting from scratch on both the programming and mathematics."
This is a fantastic "side effect" of the fact that category theory isn't built on any other mathematical knowledge. You don't even need even any arithmetics for that.

I have made a funny Sierpinski carpet clicker recently, it's only 30 lines of code in react and unfortunately not one div, but it's still quite performant (safe to open, even on low-tier phones)
