Is the 1.0010101 just another sequence with similar properties? And this sequence with similar properties just behaves differently than pi.

Others mentioned a zoo and a penguin. If you say that a zoo will contain a penguin, and then take one that doesn’t, then obviously it will not contain a penguin. If you take a sequence that only consists of 0 and 1 and it doesn’t contain a 2, then it obviously won’t.

But I find the example confusing to take pi, transform it and then say “yeah, this transformed pi doesn’t have it anymore, so obviously pi doesn’t” If I take all the 2s out of pi, then it will obviously not contain any 2 anymore, but it will also not be really be pi anymore, but just another sequence of infinite length and non repeating.

So, while it is true that the two properties do not necessarily lead to this behavior. The example of transforming pi to something is more confusing than helping.

It’s a theorem. It’s theoretical. This is like complaining about the 20 watermelon example being unrealistic: that’s not what it is about.

I find these always interesting to read in the following sentence: ‘I fucked a bunch of dudes’.

Do you also believe that this sentence would work for you? (Assuming you are a heterosexual)

Because I always thought I was in the ‘Dude is androgynous’ camp, but after considering that sentence: I don’t think so anymore

So a best of 2024 list could also span from July to July? If that were the thing you would and should obviously call it something different. But I share the unpopular opinion, if the list is called best of 2024, it should only contain 2024

Both looks bad. It’s too many tattoos on one hand, and pretty scrambled a bad looking graffiti on the other hand.

Having everything on latest seems a very bad idea.
