No, it’s quite clear what they meant. Everyone banging on about live TV (except for those who are obviously joking and teasing) is either being deliberately obtuse, pedantic, or just plain stupid

I’n confused by your comment and going by your upvoted it’s obviously my issue so ELIA5: if you exist at a time when you can go on reddit, it’s not possible for you to have lived and died before live broadcast TV was invented, no?

Depending on who you ask, Monday and Sunday are interchangeable as the start of the week.

Not a mathematician here, is this how 2+2 = 5 when the limit of 2 goes to infinity?

It's a solid 9/10. Definitely the best pizza chain in Bucharest at least.

It’s wild that reality flexes with the ways in which we find to quantify it.

aaaah (1/x)-1 is the inverse of 1/(x+1), i mixed up the sets and thought there'd be a mistake, my bad.

December 31, 2029 lands on a Monday. So, the following day might start a new decade but it won't start a new week.

You're not wrong

So, let's make an example here. I have a nice picture on my phone, but I want it to be a quater size smaller. What do I do? Multiply the pictures' dimensions for a "piece" of 0.5 each. What do I get at the end? A "piece" of the picture"? No, the SAME picture, but... Oh my god, SMALLER!

From your science perspective how do you explain that a "full" times a "piece" makes a smaller full and not a piece?

(Also, obv you study business, no brains to be found there)

Most people have a home (though it’s not actually necessary- i’ll elaborate later) and most already have everything ready to go- just need the telly itself, some of which you can buy extremely cheap second-hand; way cheaper than you could ever get a computer that can cope with streaming for. Obviously there’s the TV licence which is expensive but just don’t pay it like a lot of people don’t and watch freeview. People who have to live in hotels (i.e. council placements) or shelters are much more likely to have access to a TV than a computer. I know lots of people who don’t have a computer/ wifi at home but not a single person that doesn’t have a telly. Obviously I’m speaking from the perspective of a developed country, though. I’m sure things are different in less developed countries and even in other developed countries.

(1/x)-1 is correct for going from (0,1) to (0,infty).

Your function would send the interval (0,1) to (1/2,1) in a weird reversed/distorted way (check endpoints to confirm).

And the op is most likely talking about cardinalities, not the counting measure, if we're nitpicking. :)

You just have to travel to the region of the world that tree grows on! Then, hope you don't get shot by the owner of said tree! Six days and 3800 miles later, you have yourself mango! Now, time to go milk the cow, harvest the other ingredients like sugar, mine for the salt, and i can finally make mango yogurt! Ah shit, the mango went bad during all my travelling and harvesting and farming.

I think they meant (1/x)-1, not 1/(x-1)

In the US maybe. Their bathroom stalls are atrocious. Most of the rest of the world is more sensible.

i think it's fair to assume that OP is talking about the real numbers.

I have an apple tree and a pear tree in my yard. Neither ever yields fruit we can actually eat because we don’t have the tools or time to keep the bugs, squirrels, and birds away from them so they can mature. On top of that apple trees need to be in pairs so they can germinate each other, so our apple tree almost never grows apples at all.

Just because you can plant a fruit tree doesnt mean you’ll get reliable yields from it. It takes far more time, effort, and money to sustain something like that than most people can manage. That’s even if you have the land and money to plant the tree and decades to ensure it grows and matures properly. So yeah, having dedicated farmers tend to an orchard and distribute that yield to stores we can buy them in is pretty understandable.

I think of it more by environment. It’s unlikely that a bright orange dinosaur would be living in a rainforest, where it needs to use camouflage, for either hunting or hiding.

well said, although it should be the bijection 1/(x+1) for OP's claim, but that's me nitpicking.

also i think it's natural to assume that OP is talking about the real numbers and the 'counting measure'.

No, but it's the reason for anyone who's on here to assume the question was asked by one of them, if it isn't clarified further.

Yeah totally, each person individually going to the tree is a much more efficient system. /s
