@freemo you mean like 2.25 + 2.25 round up but simplified and left to philosophy ?

@twotwenty oh wow the wikipedia article doesnt connect it tot he modern part...

Yea the recent iteration is 2.24 + 2.24 = 5.49 which rounds to 2 + 2 = 5 on modern computers if using integers.

@freemo

Is that trump's 2024 campaign slogan?

@freemo

Wow, I just noticed that "2024" looks very much like "2+2=4" and the year of inauguration "2025" looks like "2+2=5".

Goosebumps.

@Pat Thats brilliant. You are half a step away from being schizofrenic with this sort of insight :)

@freemo

Well, I know I'm not autistic, which is another condition that is correlated with that type of pattern recognition ability.

There's a whole mythical subculture/pseudoscience called numerology, that really gets into that kind of stuff.
