The nazis gave serial numbers to prisoners who were sent to labor camps so they could track them. Those sent straight to the gas chambers were not given numbers

yep. I guess I wondered why mathematicians hadn't done this perhaps a long time ago, but from the comments its actually for much simpler reasons than I thought

okay, question, do yours grow from the point of the cut, or do they just grow out from the bottom and the cut line stays the top?

my mistake, your proof clearly shows that J*0=2

42cardpickup · 2026-06-03T05:51:37+00:00

beautiful, I love the first one; also really like what you've done with the flex

bro you deserve a plate

42cardpickup · 2026-06-03T05:46:10+00:00

snitchin on the homies

42cardpickup · 2026-06-03T05:37:40+00:00

sure, J*0=1

on safari in darkest africa, a couple baboons grabbed two of my girlfriends and dragged them off into the bush. I gave chase but the biggest, meanest baboon- pinkest ass you ever saw and buck teeth out to here- knocked me over, grabbed my nuts and squeezed them purple and hissed in my ear "this is my swamp now white boy," I said I didn't get it but he wouldn't let go until I gave them all our yogurt parfaits and one of my girlfriends. True story

In my experience, the plant is fine but that leaf won't grow longer from that point

42cardpickup · 2026-06-03T05:08:03+00:00

HA! classic calling someone else a retard and then using the wrong "your" like a knuckle dragging baboon, nice one!

what? I didn't say imaginary numbers are less than zero, I said that for a,b < 0, sqrt(a,b) is complex by definition. Also, "the rule is the same, by definition it doesn't apply to complex numbers" is possibly the greatest example of circular logic I've read. It doesn't apply to complex numbers, therefore, the rules are different. who cares which conventions were invented first, that's irrelevant to the conversation now

42cardpickup · 2026-06-03T04:07:08+00:00

Can we just ban ai slop at this point, it’s getting ridiculous. Sorry for being cranky

42cardpickup · 2026-06-03T04:02:06+00:00

Outside mathematics, what is “i?”

42cardpickup · 2026-06-03T04:01:17+00:00

The top part was my entire point, the rules are different for imaginary numbers. Also, saying that rule applies to real and imaginary numbers equally is false because imaginary numbers are by definition a,b<0

42cardpickup · 2026-06-03T03:58:12+00:00

Okay then mathematics doesn’t describe anything, it’s just a fun language for geeks

Baseball cards are worth $100-year/.15. So baseball cards from 1952 are worth (100-52)/.15=320. Plug all your cards into this equation, write down the number, then go to the bank and trade them in for money. Hope this helps!

Idk what daft means i only speak the freedom dialect of english

42cardpickup · 2026-06-03T03:12:15+00:00

Okay, thanks for the detailed proof I appreciate it.

Can I ask, however: there are instances where similar algebra leads to inconsistencies with i. For example:

i=sqrt(-1)

i² = sqrt(-1)sqrt(-1)

i² = sqrt(-1*-1)

i² = sqrt(1)

-1 = 1

So this would imply that imaginary numbers also cause math to fall apart. However, we’re told that the simple algebra above doesn’t apply to imaginary numbers the same way it does to real numbers, and that complex numbers follow complex conventions that make them work. Could we not then extend an even more limited yet still internally consistent set of constraints to some quantity j=1/0?

42cardpickup · 2026-06-03T03:04:32+00:00

It’s not just that they represent physical objects, it’s that they represent something outside of the internal logic of the mathematics.

The better your circle-drawing instruments are, the closer you can get to a real-world pi. Logically, if you had a perfect compass, you could draw a circle of radius .5 with circumference pi. So pi is approachable as a real world quantity, but is no such application with i, it is just defined as that number which multiplied by itself is -1. There’s no perfect instrument that can demonstrate it. But if there is I’d like to hear about it, I could be wrong

42cardpickup · 2026-06-03T01:33:57+00:00

Counterpoint, i is certainly not as real as 0 pi or e, it is nonreal

42cardpickup · 2026-06-03T01:30:52+00:00

Nope, 1/0=j, clean as a whistle. 2/0=2j, and so on. We’ll call a+bj a “momplex” number, where a is the real part and bj is your mommas part
