Falling for it or making light of it? seems like the latter to me but I’m a dumbass so

[-] Owl@hexbear.net 37 points 1 month ago

What you're missing is that I'm just posting things with whatever headline will make people laugh.

Did you have to space it out in capital letters because if you'd written it "oic" people might interpret it as a French person saying "wack"

[-] Feinsteins_Ghost@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

I just spaced it out to space it out, I really didn’t give it any thought before hand.

This is a subway line metaphor

It's okay. The Real numbers are dense (within the real numbers), so no matter how many branches we make, we'll always have just as many real numbers jammed arbitrarily close together on all branches!

[-] Owl@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

But what if we add one branch for each subset of the set of all real numbers.

[-] dat_math@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago

oops! all branches!

Why can't I hold all these continuua?!

Is that what it's called. Cool name! Better than 'one'

~~We are cooking with manifolds~~

EDIT: wait, no, WTH am I saying? At the forking point, that thing is not locally homeomorphic to R^n for any natural n.
Time to commit eepy.

[-] peeonyou@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

yes this arrangement of words seems like it would make sense to someone, i agree

[-] gchromodynamics@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

It is if you delete the forking point no? So just make it fork at Chaitin's constant or some other real number no one will notice missing.

[-] Tomorrow_Farewell@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

It is if you delete the forking point no?

If.

Should have put the branch on the left as 1 is the most commonly used number smh

You could have fit all those numbers between 3 and 4 with similar effects

[-] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

Complex numbers already exist

[-] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

haha number line go up

[-] Tabitha@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

Imagine being a sci fi author and saying my aliens do this and then having your fans just defend it and try to justify how it actually makes sense in reality for some reason.
