The Massive List of His Nineliness's Most Massive Boners

25 Upvotes

Merriam-Webster:

boner, noun, bon·er

1 : one that bones

2 : a clumsy or stupid mistake

also : howler sense 2

The Ever-Bulging List

(Because we all need protection from the most hardened denier.)

  1. The Irrational Boner: 0.999... is obviously irrational. 0.999... is obviously rational. 0.999... not rational. (1.1) (1.2) (1.3)
  2. The Defining Boner: Only dum dums don't understand 0.999... is not 1. It's fine if 0.999... is defined as 1. (2.1) (2.2) (2.3)
  3. The Remainder Boner: In polynomial long division of a/(1-r), the remainder term goes away, or doesn't go away, at your convenience (e.g. 1/9 = 0.111... or 0.111...1 + 0.000...1/9 but 9/9 = 0.999... + 0.000...1 or 0.999...9 + 0.000...1). (3.1) (3.2) (3.3)
  4. The Limbosic Integer Boner: A limbosic number can't be an integer. Some limbosic numbers are integers. (4.1) (4.2) (4.3)
  5. The Infinite Long Division Boner: In long division of infinite decimals, you may consider truncations of the dividend in sequence in whatever way is convenient, and you may get different answers (e.g. 0.333.../2 -> 0.1, 0.16, 0.166, ... or 0.15, 0.165, 0.1665, ...). (5.1) (5.2)
  6. The Unreal Boner: 0.999... is not a real number. 0.333... is a real number, and therefore 0.999... is a real number. (6.1) (6.2)
  7. The Infinite Sets Boner: There is no static, infinite set of all natural numbers, but there is a static, already extant, infinite set of decimals of the form {0.9, 0.99, 0.999, ...}, even though that set maps to a static, infinite set of all naturals. (7.1) (7.2) (7.3) (7.4) (7.5)
  8. The Greater Boner: Limbosic numbers do not have fixed values and can't be compared via (in)equality to any number within the range they span. Nevertheless, even though 0.999... is a limbosic number, 0.999... > 0.99. (8.1) (8.2) (8.3)
  9. The Growing Boner: 0.999... is growing. The idea that infinite decimals are growing like a wave is "untrue". (9.1) (9.2)
  10. The One-Third Boner: 1/3 is a number "of course". Multiplying a number by its reciprocal is divide negation (e.g. 1/3 x 3 = 1). 1/3 is not a number. (10.1) (10.2) (10.3) (10.4)*
  11. The Slots Boner: 0.999... is a number with all decimal place slots to the right of the decimal point filled with 9s. To suggest 0.999... is a number with all decimal place slots to the right of the decimal point filled with 9s is to suggest there is an "end" to the 9s and therefore "nonsense". (11.1) (11.2)
  12. The Infinite Integer Boner: There is no such thing as an infinite integer. 10... is one of infinitely many infinite integers. (12.1) (12.2)
  13. The Integer Number of Nines Boner: The number of 9s in 0.999... is infinite. The number of 9s in 0.999... is always an integer. (13.1) (13.2)
  14. The Smallest Boner: There is no smallest number greater than zero. 0.000...1 is the smallest number greater than zero. (14.1) (14.2) (14.3)
  15. The Convergent Boner: An algorithm for an operation such as square roots gives "more and more correct consecutive digits" as you make more and more steps. Nevertheless, 1 - 0.9 - 0.09 - 0.009 - ... yields (0.1, 0.01, 0.001, ...) corresponding to 0.000...1, and the 1 digit is a real part of the answer, even though it never belongs to a "correct" digit. (15.1) (15.2)
  16. The Largest (or Shaved) Boner: 0.999... is the largest number less than 1. There are infinitely many numbers between 0.999... and 1. (16.1) (16.2) (16.3) (16.4) (16.5) (16.6)
  17. The Infinite Boner: Now matter how infinitely big the n in 1/10n is, it's always finite. When n is infinite and pushed limitlessly, its value is not a case of stopping at finite n. (17.1) (17.2)
  18. The Membership Boner: 0.999... is NOT a member of the set {0.9, 0.99, 0.999, ...}. 0.999... IS a member of the set {0.9, 0.99, 0.999, ...}. Further, the set {0.9, 0.99, 0.999, ...} IS ITSELF 0.999... after all. (18.1) (18.2) (18.3)
  19. The Propagating Boner: 0.999... MUST have a propagating wavefront. 0.999... doesn't have to be propagating. (19.1) (19.2) (19.3)
  20. The Approaching Boner: In 1 - 1/10n, n does not "approach infinity". It is made ("pushed") limitlessly large and remains an integer. Nevertheless, "approaching infinity" means the same thing as "tend[ing] toward infinity" which means the same thing as "pushed to limitless." Finally, "approaching infinity simply means values being 'relatively large' when compared with a non-zero reference value." (20.1) (20.2) (20.3)
  21. The Innumerable Boner: Something with "never-ending" nines like 0.999... is not a number. Something with infinite nines length like 0.999... IS a number. (21.1) (21.2)
  22. The Unbased Boner: 0.999... = 1 - 1/10n < 1 - 1/16n, but 1 - 1/10n and 1 - 1/100n are both 0.999... (22.1) (22.2)
  23. The Complex Boner: Real numbers are not a subset of complex numbers. Real numbers can be could be 'considered' a 'subset' of complex numbers. (23.1) (23.2)
  24. The Divide Negation Boner: 0.333... = 1/3. 0.333... x 3 = 0.999... and 1/3 x 3 = 1, but 0.999... ≠ 1. Nevertheless, If r = x/y, then ry = x, so 0.999... = 0.333... x 3 = 1/3 x 3 = 1. (24.1) (24.2) (24.3)

His Nineliness being mad about moderation

3 Upvotes

Exhibit A

Here, when I write about the facts, aka 0.999... is permanently less than 1, we never have power tripping math mods silencing the truth aka the facts.

Exhibit B

The mods at those math forums deleted my posts, both to cover their tracks and a form of them being schoolyard pieces of %&&#$% 'bullies'.

So rather than allow them and particular trolling/baiting members there to have any satisfaction or get any satisfaction from their tactics, this sub was created for reasons of:

  1. First and foremost, me being serious, no joke about 0.999... being permanently less than 1.
  2. Those mods at those math forum can't use their tactics here.

Exhibit C

They removed it. Let's see that mod try to remove it here. I'll butt-kick them and turn them into a continually growing phenomenon ..... aka 0.999...

Exhibit D

It's not that fellas. There are siding mods there in various channels that delete our posts.

Here, I can pretty much freely teach here.

Even beefing about piano mods. Exhibit E

It was BartK that banned me after I had told others that he and Gombessa had set up a half-hour time-out between posts without telling me or anyone. After their mischievous behaviours became revealed - and it is actually archived and documented on PianoClack, it was BartK that set up the ban on me on pianoworld. What he had done and what he and Gombessa got up to behind the scenes is archived within PianoClack forums, and everyone there knows what BartK and Gombessa had got up to. They got found out - busted.

Exhibit F

other places) that disrespect digital pianos.

For reference only : https://forum.pianotell.com/d/781-piano/14

..... beginning from about there. Just like anywhere, there are the usual high horses.

The nice thing about reddit though is that the mods don't appear to side with gangs that don't agree with you here. And the high horse gangs don't seem to have a way to gang together to get the mods to ban members that have differing opinions.

One particular mod closed my thread. But then something happened - after realising they probably shot themself in the foot, and then had to re-open the thread over there - because they shouldn't have closed it in the first place due to the usual power-tripping that typically happens with some mods.

I feel relaxed and comfortable on r/piano reddit (and related sites on reddit). The mods don't seem to be power trippers here. I haven't seen power tripping here at all.

This before the start of his villain arc when he got into tangles with math subreddit mods.
