Hell, nah. Pineapple and kiwi on pizza are the same category.

Probably still more ethical than McDonald’s

Back in my early years of uni, we had one of those tests in which every question depends on the previous answer and we had to round every answer to two significant figures. For some stupid reason, a friend and I decided to also use the rounded figure when inputting the values into the next question instead of working algebraically. By the last question, we were off by like 5.

It’s moving 1 km/s, though.

Why, yes I am. Why? You single?

Buying games and playing games are different hobbies. On a similar note, I tried to buy System Shock (on GOG) just to be greeted by an “Already in your library” message.

Shhh. Lemmy loves white saviors.

Diagonally

Weeeell… not really. It’s pretty well settled mathematics that “cardinality” and “amount” happen to coinciden when it comes to finite sets and we use it interchangeably but that’s because we know they’re not the same thing. When speaking with the regular folk, saying “some infinities are bigger than others” is kinda misleading. Would be like saying “Did you know squares are circles?” and then constructing a metric space with the taxi metric. Sure it’s “true” but it’s still bullshit.

I know it seems intuitive but assuming that a property holds for n=infinity because it holds for all n<infinity would literally break math and it really doesn’t make much sense when you think about it more than a minute. Here’s an easy counterexample: n is finite.

Yeah, but if you can line up the elements of a set as shown in the bottom track, then they’re, at most, aleph 0.

Please tell me you see the irony of this comment.

Literally the plot of American Gods

At this point I’d take an opinion piece over whatever this is.

And here I was hoping this was some psychological study and not a dude ranting for paragraphs how he’s the most specialest one.

Oh, but all rectangles are squares if we shoehorn a non-standard metric (this comment has absolutely nothing to do with the thread and it’s just a dumb math joke).

My TV controller has a dedicated Netflix button. Around 2 months ago I sat on it and it started playing a movie. Turns out “meh, it seems about right” is not a good way to check your credit card statements.

I can see it already:

every once in a while the change just straight up reverses and I have to do it all over again

That sounds like a misconception based on the misconception that the Planck Length is the smallest distance possible. Admittedly, I dropped out of physics 10 years ago so I might have no idea what I’m talking about.
