The growth rate of items per day may may seem absurd, but it's actually much less than the acceleration in the 12 Days of Christmas song.

Infinite calendarception… but do you get any chocolate in this setup?

Depends on the final advent calendars. I've seen one where the final product is an electric screwdriver, with screw bits and all.

Once you reach infinity

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sure, no problem. That’s only going to take an infinite amount of time, so we’re all good.

Think of the chocolate at the end tho

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

There is no end. Kinda essential part of the definition of infinity.

Only on Sundays but you get infinite chocolates.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Fair enough, as long as it’s a countably infinite amount of chocolate.
