Bonus exercise: approximately how many numbers die every day?

Approx 4 numbers die every day

What happens when the number of numbers that die on a certain day dies on that day?

>> No.9553321

>>9553309
When that happens, the event also kills the number of days since the beginning of the universe up to the day that that day occurs, erasing the entire day and resolving the paradox. This has happened 387 times so far.

how

Sorry bro, 387 died last week

it gets worse, because of dark energy numbers are disappearing too

Because there's already finite numbers available in the universe, and increasing entropy means less information and thus you will be able to consider less and less numbers

this thread is DANGEROUSLY close to the infinities thread we have every fucking day

Numbers themselves are abstractions. Whether there is a finite number of objects to represent numbers doesn't matter, because numbers themselves are mathematical constructions

it's exactly the opposite, moron, increasing entropy means MORE information

close?

But have you guys considered “dark” infinity (as opposed to the more common “light” infinity)?

>> No.9556377

>>9555776
No I have not. Please elaborate.

It's just like regular infinity but more predisposed to crime and above average length and girth.
