Call me "pixeltits"

My cat definitely knows her name. You say "Pickle" and she'll look at you, but it's basically up to her if she wants to come over. She'll usually come when I call.

Dogs and cats make a lot of sense considering they basically speak very different languages and it takes years for them to learn to understand each other.

How is the plane taking off if it’s not moving forward through the air? When you go for a jog outside, you feel the air move around you, when you run on a treadmill, you don’t feel anything because you aren’t actually moving forward. A plane in the simplest terms doesn’t need engines or wheels to take off, it just needs functional wings and enough speed forward through enough air to create lift.

Haha did you'll motherfuckers forget planes have wings haha like birds dude flap them and go haha smdh if them ducks at the park is on a threadmill and you start spinning it they is gone bro haha wheels or no god drat

Oh, 0.9999 definitely isn't 1, it's 0.9999. I misread your post, sorry.

The third line there would be 9x = 9.999... -x, that calculation doesn't prove poo poo.

E: That's not to say I disbelieve 1 = 0.999... , this is just a quirk of the decimal system. Similar fuckery happens in other numeral systems aswell, just with other numbers.

I'm not mathematically eloquent enough to describe what I'm trying to say here, but this is the essence of it https://www.quora.com/How-can-I-prove-9-99999-10

While that calculation might illustrate the point well, as an actual proof it's worthless.

It seems you do not understand (or refuse to understand) variables, which are pretty dang elementary :shrug:

e: The piece behind that quora link makes the most basic mistake: treating this as a mathematical issue rather than what it is, i.e. a purely linguistic issue.

ee: Of course since language is the basis of all science, everything is a linguistic issue :mmmhmm:

I'm feeling some good vibrations!
so if I'm in a car and drive into a canyon. while falling down I climb out of the car and on top of the roof. Then at the last second the car hits the ground I jump upwards off the roof. I land safely on the ground right?

If in one, swift jump you can cancel out the terminal velocity of the car, sure.

Although that would definitely crush your legs, seeing as, from their point of view, it's exactly the same as if you were just standing on the car when it hit the ground.

Yes, but only if you flap your arms to create lift.

The rockets on the plane that are under the wings give the plane enough lift to blast off the treadmill obviously

My favourite thing is that the guy who says he doesn't use the 9x thing then goes on to state without proof the formula for the sum of a geometric series, which is derived in exactly the same way

The trick is just that there is no number between 0.999... and 1 so therefore they are functionally the same

Does make me wonder how many people have even been on a plane, I figured that out when I was like, eight? Not to mention the whole thing about planes are pretty slow on the ground for obvious reasons.

i once sat in a kansas airport and listened to an older couple argue over whether the big spinning blades on the wings were fans to cool the workers in the midday sun. much like computers, a significant number of people who have benefited from planes have no idea how they work.

It’s this more or less. You could maybe say that .999... as an arbitrary value philosophically exists, but in decimal mathematics a repeating number means you just hit one of those numbers that doesn’t calculate cleanly, like a third or a ninth, so it’s equal to one.

There's an old joke about how the big fan on the front of the plane is there to cool the pilot off, because when the fan stops working the pilot starts sweating...
