2 + 2 = 5... for sufficiently large values of 2.
@freemo I like it.
@twotwenty This is a very old math joke, but that is the jist of it:
@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.
Is that trump's 2024 campaign slogan?
@Pat Dont be silly. We all know trump cant count that high.
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 :)
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.
@freemo you mean like 2.25 + 2.25 round up but simplified and left to philosophy ?
