Awsome logic in the original original post.
On a totally unrelated note: whats the biggest number between 0 and 1 (0<x<1)?
The set of all living humans is finite, so (if sexuality is totally ordered) there is a gayest human. Edit:though they may not necessarily be unique.
There are more than 0 people currently the gayest.
Wouldn't it be like 9.99 into infinity? 🤔 and since the human population (at least currently living) is not infinete, then at some 9.999999 there wouldn't be anyone with a higher value? (I don't know math)
0.9999... is equal to 1, so no
no, not really. In engineering math, sure but theoretical math it's not
0.999… = 1 in theory also.
Otherwise, there exists a δ such that 1 - δ = 0.999…
Then, the δ should have a first nonzero digit. Let us say it is in the millionth placd. But then, 0.999… cannot have a 9 in the millionth place.
Even in theoretical math, 0.999 repeating ends up being exactly equal to 1. In fact, any terminating decimal can be rewritten in a similar manner. For example, 0.25 is exactly equal to 0.24999999 repeating
What's 3 * 1/3? What's 3 * 0.3333333...?
Liberals hate this one weird trick
