“there are as many even/odd/prime/composite numbers as there are numbers”
g(63)? TREE(3)? BB(10^100)? Rayo’s Number? Fuck outta here with that fake bullshit

Yeah TREE(3) is so big, how can you possibly know that there are that many evens??

The set of all rational numbers has zero size in the real numbers. And yet, they’re fucking dense, meaning you can find a rational arbitrarily close to any real number. I mean, what the fuck?
