I'm torn on this one, cause recently they've been finding evidence of a 'new' 9th planet, way beyond Pluto's orbit. So I'm on the fence of "there are 8 planets" and "there are 9 planets." πŸ€”

Over here in 'murica, the only news that makes headlines is about either Biden, Trump, Musk, or mass shootings. πŸ™„

So why is it represented as 99.999... Instead of just 100? It's because you're forgetting the fact that fractions and decimals are infinite depending on the magnification. 99.9999... literally goes on forever. That means that no matter how close it gets to 100, it will never be equivalent to 100.

It's like how you can know infinitely nothing and still think you know everything. πŸ‘€πŸ«

It only signifies that the post-decimal nines are repeating infinitely. It still doesn't make 99.99999...=100 unless you intentionally round the value for some nondescript reason, and even then, rounding off isn't changing the value, only the perceived value for mathematical simplicity, not objective accuracy.

Only if you're rounding. 99.9 is still 1/10 of a digit separated from 100, but it's not equal to 100 for good reason.

Until two separate accounts with authenticator/manager support don't have any crossover.

Good, fuck antivaxxers, maybe in 2 decades they'll have all died of polio and the rest of us can continue existing thanks to our fucking medicine.

I was all-in on that paragraph, but then the last statement rolled into vision, and now I can't take it seriously again.

Doctor, looking at Garfield: "didn't we meet in 1930s New York? I think there were pigmen?"

I don't know if it says more about me, or more about trump that I almost thought this was a real quote.
