Thank you, I could not understand how that was possible. I guess if you go out into fields during thunderstorms?

There was a park ranger who was hit by lightning seven times, so it's definitely possible.

Otoh tropers only rarely venture out of their basement, so them getting struck by lightning is, uh, rather unlikely

Not to say that this isn't true, but grade-school classes are intended to be survey courses. You're supposed to get a general overview, and they deliberately exclude edge cases.

This comes up a lot for me as a trans person. You hear "XX = female, XY = male" or "vagina = female, penis = male" a lot from transphobes, because "it's basic biology!". Like: yeah, it's basic biology, which you learned in a class where they're giving you an intentionally broad overview of the topic that covers most cases but doesn't get into the finer details.

(Which connects up to the math story, actually; basic math tells you that nothing is bigger than infinity, but advanced math can acknowledge that there are multiple infinities, and so I wonder if ∞ counts as a digit. ∞^∞^∞ is a lot bigger than 9^9^9.)

I'm remember learning in school that "you can't calculate the square root of numbers ≤0!", Shorty afterwards my family was visiting friends, where the father was a professor of mathematics at the local university. I took a quick peek at his desk, and what am I seeing there first thing? √-1

I felt kinda cheated after that :v:

It's pretty easy to make a way bigger number if you want to, the first thing that comes to mind is just doing ⁹9, which is equal to 9^9^9^9^9^9^9^9^9, which is an absolutely gigantic number, that can't be effectively expressed through usual notation. Significantly more than there are atoms in the universe, and that's just using two digits. Because I mean who is teaching their twelve year old daughter about exponentiation and not tetration?

Tetration is cool as poo poo

Sounds like someone wasn't let into Berghain and spent his evening composing this weird fantasy instead. Like yes, the club is famous for being a gay and BDSM hookup hub as well as an ungodly amount of drugs being consumed there, but somehow I doubt that they're making slip&slides by jizzing all over the floor there, and open fishing and buttsex is discouraged too I'm pretty sure. Also, “Balles Tief“ :laffo:

The US, even when it introduces new notes, doesn't outmode the old ones for some dumb reason. They just get removed from circulation whenever they finally show up in a bank. It would likely be very controversial if they tried to make any old notes expire.

So bills and coins from like 1844 or something are still legal tender (disregarding the fact that they'd be worth way more than their nominal value by now)? That's kind of cool.
