"0/0 has a zero in the numerator, so it must be zero."

"0/0 has a zero in the denominator, so it must be a singularity."

"0/0 is a number over itself, so it must be one."

>>16753896 (OP)
Nilpotents aren't invertible, same way 2 times 2 and 2 times 0 are both 0 mod 4.

Zero should never have been included in the natural numbers. They should begin with 1 and end with the limit of causality, because numbers are not infinite, nor are they ever "nothing". Those are just concepts, they do not represent anything useful or real. They're just mistakes, full stop. Whenever they occur within the mind they should be ignored and forgotten in search of better representations that actually reflect nature, not bullshit mathemagical fantasies.

how would you feel if you didn't have breakfast this morning?

Zero's never been included in the natural numbers. It's a weird, wikipedia culture rewrite. An historical graffiti by late boomers with no career success other than having squatted on wikipedia. You can literally just open up the history and see when and where they changed the text. We'll revert to normal whenever those people pass away or into nursing homes.

0/0 is the most creative number
it can be equal to anything
it's like a variable

>>16753990
It can be so anything that it can also be nothing.

>damn, limits really did solve some problems

0s arent all the same.

0/0 is 1 if the 0s are the same size.

>>16753946
i include it in the natural numbers

>>16754023
Not without saying you do.

>>16754020
That only works on Z/1Z

We need the full context, OP.
Refolving indeterminate forms can be a thing in and of themselves if you want.

How many times have you had sex?
Zero.
Zero is a natural number.

>>16754196
can you hold an amount of sex in your hand tho anon?

>>16753896 (OP)
0 = 0 * (-1/12)
therefore 0/0 = -1/12

>>16753896 (OP)

0/0 is a question without a defined answer.
It asks,
"How many sets of nothing can you take out of a set of nothing?"
There is no defined answer.

There are lots of questions with no defined answer,
"What is the sound of the color green?",
"What is the color of hunger?",
etc.

Wtf send this to terrance

>>16754446
Isn't the answer infinite since taking nothing from nothing leaves nothing, which means you can take more nothing?

>>16754446
>"What is the sound of the color green?",
>"What is the color of hunger?",
Both answerable questions just like the 0 controversy.
We are just not smart enough.

Kek. The cross-over thread we deserve.

I feel like these are trick questions and that the answer is either 0 or partially clopen subsut of an open cover.

As consecutive questions they present a deeply flawed syntax error where you should either delete a word from the first or add a word to the second.

As an American, I dislike scones. Scones are those dense breads you get at brand name coffee shops on interstate highway roadtrips. The bread is raised by soda and acid, not yeast. The crumb is dense and dry. It might have rehydrated raisins, but better if not. It will have a sugary frosting which is too sweet. It does nothing to balance the hardtack you are sucking on and only makes you want more coffee, more water.
A friend from the UK recently gave me a bag of homemade scones. They are lovely, tender buttermilk biscuits with currants and a spinkle of sugary buttercrust that literally melts in your mouth.
/Sci/, what is happening here, scientifically I mean. Are my tastebuds anti-American?
Ancestry DNA says like 90% English on father's side (rest is Welsh 6%, and Scots 4%). Mom is 60% Germany, 30% Swed, and 10% gypsy af.
This is the type of question we need. Not this (>>16754446) Zen bs.

>>16754749
Scones with clotted cream are heavenly, we can all agree.

>>16754207
can you?
