      For that matter, the real numbers are fake as fuck. “Ah yes, let’s just throw in uncountably many non-computable numbers.” They have played us for absolute fools.

        The set of all rational numbers has zero size in the real numbers. And yet, they’re fucking dense, meaning you can find a rational arbitrarily close to any real number. I mean, what the fuck?

        “there are as many even/odd/prime/composite numbers as there are numbers”

        g(63)? TREE(3)? BB(10^100)? Rayo’s Number? Fuck outta here with that fake bullshit

      complex numbers are just numbers in a plane instead of a line. saying you don’t believe in i is like saying you don’t believe in “up”
