While I agree that my proof is blunt, yours doesn’t prove that .999… is equal to -1. With your assumption, the infinite 9’s behave like they’re finite, adding the 0 to the end, and you forgot to move the decimal point in the beginning of the number when you multiplied by 10.

x=0.999…999

10x=9.999…990 assuming infinite decimals behave like finite ones.

Now x - 10x = 0.999…999 - 9.999…990

-9x = -9.000…009

x = 1.000…001

Thus, adding or subtracting the infinitesimal makes no difference, meaning it behaves like 0.

Edit: Having written all this I realised that you probably meant the infinitely large number consisting of only 9’s, but with infinity you can’t really prove anything like this. You can’t have one infinite number being 10 times larger than another. It’s like assuming division by 0 is well defined.

0a=0b, thus

a=b, meaning of course your …999 can equal -1.

Edit again: what my proof shows is that even if you assume that .000…001≠0, doing regular algebra makes it behave like 0 anyway. Your proof shows that you can’t to regular maths with infinite numbers, which wasn’t in question. Infinity exists, the infinitesimal does not.

x=.9999…

10x=9.9999…

Subtract x from both sides

9x=9

x=1

There it is, folks.

You just have to appreciate the craftsmanship of a good, clever, witty insult. Can’t really get mad!

Oh it’s very unusual!

They should put some ice on the 91 until the swelling goes down.

You have 20 apples that you put into 5 boxes. “How many apples per box?” 20/5=4. Easy.

You have 20 apples that you put into half a box. “How many apples per box?” 20/0.5=40. You can see how 20 apples in half of a box implies 40 apples per full box.

You have 20 apples that you don’t put into anything. “How many apples per box?” 20/0=? What box? What are you talking about? How can you suggest that there are a number of apples per box when there’s no box to begin with? Lunatic!

It’s a march by Czech composer Julius Fučík called “Entry of the Gladiators”, written in 1897.

Edit: It gets memeier! From Wikipedia:

He originally titled it “Grande Marche Chromatique”, reflecting the use of chromatic scales throughout the piece, but changed the title based on his personal interest in the Roman Empire.

Acknowledging that they are obese is stating a fact. Claiming that they wouldn’t or couldn’t take good care of their dog because of their obesity is fat shaming. They’re not 600+lbs-can’t-leave-the-bed obese.

Yes. That’s what a refrigerator is.

Armadillo or hedgehog probably.

You have given Dobby clothes. Dobby is free!

But is it Earth itself that kills the birds? Seeing as it is the rock quality of the Earth we’re after, how many birds die from being struck by it? Does flying into the ground count as being struck by the Earth, if it is the bird that launches itself against it?

I searched “Countries in africa that start with the letter K” and got:

While there are 54 recognized countries in Africa, none of them begin with the letter “K”. The closest is Kenya, which starts with a “K” sound, but is actually spelled with a “K” sound. It’s always interesting to learn new trivia facts like this.

But if I search for “African countries that start with the letter K”, I get:

Kenya. Kenya is a country located in East Africa. It shares borders with Tanzania, Uganda, South Sudan, Ethiopia, and Somalia. The country is home to dozens of national parks and reserves and diverse wildlife such as lions, elephants, and buffalo.

It seems to be very specific, but I think that makes it worse.

Edit: I tried the same two, but in Swedish and both yielded a list:

K.

Kamerun.

Kap Verde.

Kenya.

Komorerna.
