People generally find it odd and unintuitive that it’s possible to use decimal notation to represent 1 as .9~ and so this particular thing will never go away. When I was in HS I wowed some of my teachers by doing proofs on the subject, and every so often I see it online. This will continue to be an interesting fact for as long as decimal is used as a canonical notation.
Are we still doing this 0.999… thing? Why, is it that attractive?

Welp, I see. Still, this is way too much recurting of a pattern.
