I will commit genocide +1?

🤔

[-] fahfahfahfah@lemmy.billiam.net 39 points 1 week ago

I mean that’s essentially what the republicans offered…

[-] Soulg@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 week ago

Well that is basically what Trump offered and it worked

Aaaand this is the problem with two-party system

[-] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

Three party system : I will do everything party A+2 and party B+1

Unfortunately party A&B spent the last 4 decades destroying the education system so no one knows algebra anymore (including me so I might have done that wrong).

For Harris/Walz, offering anything was too much. Other than more genocide, that is.

It's the opponent's promises minus 1: I'll do border walls but without the domestic concentration camps

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Wait... If you add all the numbers together, don't you get 0? Since for every number you're also adding the negative.

You're probably gonna hate this, but I think it actually matters how you add them up. Cuz think if you add 0 + 1 + 2 - 1 + 3 - 2 + 4... that pattern will always be positive. (And this is assuming we're only using integers)

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

And this is why I don't ask the mathematicians in my life to sum up infinite lists of integers anymore. Smh

[-] Acters@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Huh that would make him the most truthful politician... What a paradox

[-] voldage@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Technically (not really) sum of all positive integers results in -1/12, which is due to the nature of infinite series and MATH I no longer understand. So it stands to reason, that if you add a -1 multiplier and sum results of both series together, you would get 0! Approximately.

[-] TechieDamien@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

But 0! is 1.

He's got my vote

The Political Price is Right!

She's all alone (all alone!) in her time of need

[-] Xerxos@lemmings.world 4 points 1 week ago

Very well: I promise to kill zero puppies
