There are 0 eggs present. I possess 0 eggs. But am owed 12. You have 12 eggs. And -12 eggs. Because you owe me the 12 you have. You give me the 12 back, that brings the amount you owe me to 0. And the amount I possess to 12.

In order to have -12 eggs. You would have

12 (have) - 12 (taken) = 0 (what's left)

12. I own a gun.

I have 13 eggs.

There's the 12 I lent you and the 13 you now owe me in interest.

So when are you paying me back my 25 eggs?

>>14637979
Both are true from a certain point of view

I have extended my influence over reality to include the entity composed of you and the twelve eggs. We are become one yolk to birth a greater being.

-12 eggs, because i ate them all before you could take them from me

A floating 12, depending on your intention to give them back, so *12

Eggs can be considered a representation of infinity.

If I get a loan of $100 I posses $100 and -$100 at the same time, it's just the -$100 is spread out through more time

If I am an accountant then my ledger shows that you owe me 25 eggs plus tip.

>you have 12 eggs
what does it mean to "have" something? are you schizophrenic? possession doesn't exist in real life, this question is meaningless

>>14637979
i see no proof of these eggs anywhere

>>14637979
Well you literally have zero eggs. Negative only makes sense if you consider negative to be debt or something

>>14637979
what a retarded question. You were -12'd to get to zero. Having 12 less and have -12 are not the same thing. 12 less is x starting number -12 where -12 is an action not an amount, -12 amount obviously assumes x is always 0

So the difference between 12 and -12 is 24? Thats what I thought. You owe me 25 eggs.

-12 eggs, I no longer have 12 eggs

12 eggs

0 because eggs are something you have but negative eggs are not something you have.
