Comment on xkcd #3184: Funny Numbers
LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 10 hours agoYeah I remember that, saying 42 is the answer to everything was what I called nonsense, as I could just as easily say 42 meaning everything is, more like 6 7 being nothing. Poof, now everything is a multiple of nothing, and at the end of the day none of it made any sense.

Funny enough, there’s a point in a later book in the series where they suggest the “ultimate question’” that 42 is an answer to is “What do you get if you multiply six by nine?”
