eestileib (she/hers)I have had this convo with more than one person...
"0.9999999... is another name for 1.00000... ; the same number, just by another name."
Somehow the idea of 9s forever is absurd, but the idea of 0s forever makes sense...
GroveDG@numelCase Technically, but only because 0.9999... = 1
Matty Raccy@numelCase an infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar. The first orders a beer, the second orders half a beer, the third: a quarter of a beer, and so on. By about the tenth the bartender just ends up pulling 2 beers and says, "you mathematicians just don't know your limits."
