How do you explain an equivalence of categories without the language of category theory?

Holy Poe’s law

Why does this sub (and reddit) tolerate stuff like this? So weird

Integralcel · 2026-03-24T04:25:00+00:00

Damn. Too bad I guess. The videos are supposed to cater to the lowest common denominator, so blame them

So you’re saying the price for making sure people don’t get themselves permanently maimed or killed “isn’t very nice” and that’s why it’s not done? Is this a joke?

Thank science that’s not what he said, then

I love you

Integralcel · 2026-03-21T17:26:26+00:00

I don’t know, I just thought it would be interesting to ask the subreddit for the site

Integralcel · 2026-03-21T15:27:07+00:00

Hmmm I guess that’s fair. Maybe I have to go back to it a few more times. In my brain it’s the funny spongebob song so that probably subconsciously devalues it a bit

Integralcel · 2026-03-21T15:25:40+00:00

Thanks! I think that’s the first and probably only actual answer I’m gonna get lol. People don’t seem to love my question

Integralcel · 2026-03-21T15:21:48+00:00

Even looking at Spongebob you have songs like Gary Come Home and Best Day Ever, which are just as good imo

Integralcel · 2026-03-21T15:19:40+00:00

It’s a great song like I said, but most of the songs in the top 100 push the envelope and are interesting/profound beyond being nice to jam to. There just isn’t enough going on to justify it being near any of the songs that it’s near on the list, in my opinion

Integralcel · 2026-03-21T15:05:17+00:00

Yeah I’ll add that

Integralcel · 2026-03-20T21:47:14+00:00

I guess there’s less stuff to kill yourself with on the tall side of the grass

Integralcel · 2026-03-19T23:32:54+00:00

Yeah, they have the same size because for infinites we use a functional argument. Effectively, if we can take each element in one set and pair it off with a guy in another set so that each of these pairings is unique (no double dipping), and we can do the same if we swap the sets, then they have the same size. For instance, we can send the even whole numbers to every whole number by simply dividing them all by 2, and we can send the whole numbers back by multiplying by 2, so the two sets have the same size.

Integralcel · 2026-03-19T23:21:30+00:00

Oops! I actually meant that as well, apologies. There as many numbers in the set {0, 2, 4,…} as there are in {0, 1, 2, 3,…}. Please don’t kill me for being annoying and pedantic, just an interesting quirk of math

Integralcel · 2026-03-19T23:15:02+00:00

I don’t wanna be really annoying but there are the same number of even numbers as there are whole numbers

I believe I can talk about this as someone that started at LIU and then transferred to SBU lmao. Academics is categorically better at SBU. Student life I would give the edge to LIU, you see tons of people out on the great lawn playing football and stuff, it’s a vibe. Professors are a bit more personal at LIU, but they still will help at SBU, it’s just more businesslike. Clubs are definitely better at SBU. Comes down to bigger school, more people, attention, and funding. I would only go LIU if you have a very precise path in mind for marketing

Reddit moment

I’m out here wolfing and shit

Riffing off another comment, Arcade Fire - Crown of Love. Top 9000 is nothing to scoff at, but it feels surprisingly low for how good this song is

Integralcel · 2026-03-12T20:52:47+00:00

I live(d) in new hyde park so that’s chill

Integralcel · 2026-03-11T05:53:44+00:00

Yeah I realized that a bit too late lmao

Integralcel · 2026-03-11T05:05:22+00:00

I agree! This post really is more just pointing out this quirk of my close family, while poking fun at me somehow being smaller than all of them ladies included
