My favourite math fact is that 0.9999999.. is equal to 1. Exactly. Not approximately. Not as a rounded number. 0.9999 (recurring) is exactly 1.

Question. How the fuck does that work?

I tried explaining it here:

Here’s another perspective on why .999... repeating is exactly equal to 1.

For any two distinct real numbers, we can always find a rational number strictly between them, i.e. that rational number must be able to be expressed as a terminating decimal or a repeating decimal.  To be clear, that rational number is strictly between the two values; it is not allowed to be equal to either.

Suppose k is a rational number strictly between 1 and 0.9999....  If this is possible, then, I can write k exactly as either a decimal with finite digits, or I can write k as a repeating decimal.  The problem is, there are no decimals with finite digits between 1 and 0.999... , and there is no way to write a repeating decimal that is greater than 0.999... and still less than 1.  Either way, a k strictly between 1 and 0.999... does not exist.  The only way this can be true is if those two numbers are not actually distinct.  That is to say, 1 = 0.999.....

i truly appreciate how math seems like it’s this infallible always-true only-one-answer thing, when in reality math is just like:

Great headline

This is not an appropriate adult response to racism. Racism is bad. But if someone calls you a bad name and your response is to kick him in the face twice you are not acting as an adult should. Shame on the racist. And shame on this “adult.”

-_-

I also thought both sides were at fault before I read the excerpt. Makes me think about how this news source portrayed the Asian man in the headline. They didn’t say Chan kicked a white supremacist who was harassing/following/provoking him and his friends, they said Chan kicked a white supremacist for calling him a chink.

okay, i got real fucked up last week and ordered a fuck ton of webkinz, which i thought was a mistake, until the first ones arrived and pud decided she absolutely fucking loved them

at first i just put em on her to see what shed do, which was nothing, so i decided to just leave her alone in my room for a bit. when i came back in later, she was doing this and i dead ass started crying

UPDATE: another one came :'^)

Note: this is not ferret abuse, they really do enjoy being carried like sacks of potatos.

As a ferret owner I can confirm that my three ferrets do not give a single fuck about being held like that. A ferret WILL let you know if it doesn’t like how you’re holding it. But they like being turned into potato sacks for some reason.

Yeah ferrets get super limp sometimes when you hold them, plus they have a flexible spine and ribs, it doesn’t bother them a bit. They are just loose sacks of meat and kleptomania.
