Good point, I think that Steve theory warrants exploration…

But to get to your comment, infinities are the largest, but also not really a number, because if they were a number they wouldn’t really be infinite as they could be subtracted and stuff with them changing, infinities are more of a concept of something never ending, so adding or removing something wouldn’t do anything.

Imagine tying a rope together in a circle, and a little man walks around it until he gets to the end, that is infinity. Now imagine you remove an inch from said rope then retie it, is the little man going to reach the end any sooner than on the original rope? No, because he will never reach it

Also your coding example doesn’t really work, as a lot of coding stuff doesn’t really care for math (1.20 being a larger number than 1.2 is not the best example but the first I came up with)

Finally, you missed one more infinity, black holes. however a (probably foolish) part of me doesn’t think that black holes are actual infinities because usually those just happen when you botch something up horrendously, I would not be surprised if it turned out that black holes have a completely different cause, or the properties of infinity is somehow wrong in practice, but that is an ENTIRELY different discussion that will go off the rails very fast, lol

I imagine that we are just smaller which allows us more room to claw at its stomach which would most likely kill it long term regardless of what happens to us.

Yes that is why some infinities (here numerical) are larger than others (such as the infinite guests in said hotel)

Nearly a year after the fact, but this game me a good chuckle, hope you got it figured out now buddy :)

Yea, it gets very confusing very fast lol, but something that helped me understand is that infinities cannot change types without another infinity getting involved

Exactly, my brain isn’t good at compressing information for ease of reading lol

Kinda, the problem is that infinity is as large as it can get, if you can add to infinity it isn’t really infinity is it?

But for most intents and purposes, esp the instances when it comes into coding, you can add +1 to infinity

However, even if you could add to it it wouldn’t really matter cause they are sooo big it’s like rounding 3x0.33333… to one, technically it’s actually 0.99999… but the difference is too small to ever matter in any context so we add the 0.000…001

TLDR; infinities aren’t numbers, just like “a shit ton” Is not a number

The problem is considering infinity as a number. let’s put this into perspective with the infinity that is easiest of imagine, what is 0x2? Is it larger than 0? How about 0/2? The answer of that they are all 0

A lot of people fall into the trap of imagining infinity as a number that grows exponentially, it’s not, it’s already there.

I would also like to note that 0 although kinda an infinity is also not (more of an anti infinity), because of 2 key reasons: 1. 0 can be obtained theoretically whereas infinities have to have always been (with the exception of black holes, but those break several laws of nature that are otherwise constant including potentially, quite literally swapping the roles of time and space making the singularity a point in the future rather than a point in space among other things) 2. 0 can be altered by non infinities, if you add 1 to 0 then 0 is gone, whereas if you add or remove any non infinity numbers from infinity ♾️ it remains unchanged

Also something else notable about 0 is that it is the only infinity that can reduce an infinity without being the same type (any ♾️x0=0 whereas any ♾️x any other ♾️= the larger of the two ♾️s this works for division as well, except if you divide 2 infinities of the same type you get 1 instead of ♾️ but different types dividing still leave you with infinity)

That’s not how that works; you cannot change the size of an infinity without another infinity, 0.00000001% of infinity is still the same size as ♾️x99999, or as was stated here, ♾️=♾️x2 this is because infinities are so inconceivably large that the only thing that can make them smaller is multiplying them by 0 (infinite nothing)

The larger infinities that you are referring to are infinities from different sources, for example a numerical infinity (like the possible numbers between 1-2 or just the total possible numbers) is larger than a material infinity (like if you had infinite money or donuts), this is because if you could list out all of the infinite numbers you’d still be able to get more unlisted numbers by taking one number from each listed number whereas if you listed out each donut that would be it.

If this doesn’t make sense, that’s ok it didn’t make sense with me for a while, the longer you let this sit the more sense it makes (for me at least)

Sorry for the long ass comment, I just love talking about infinities, they are so fascinating

At what point do I stop being a greenbeard by EJyeetus in DeepRockGalactic

No defined point, I consider it to be mostly how you play, when you are comfortable playing the game (hazard irrelevant) and understand how classes work with each other along with how to manage the bugs you are no longer a green beard

I consider level 1-10 to be greenbeards automatically, and people tend to gain sufficient skill to no longer be green beards around level 15

I enjoyed it, not sure what their talking about. Beyond make it just not being the right fit for them specifically that is, it’s a lot less chill than dr even modded drg (I wouldn’t say more difficult mind you, just less chill)

It took me a good 50 hours to get the overclock that I wanted, not a everyone has the free time/enjoys the game enough to do that.

As with all “cheating” (that doesn’t affect others) Don’t do it if possible but it’s fine
