Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
Pool, we don't edit post content that doesn't break the rules.

Did anyone already point out the obvious? You can't have your cake and eat it too.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

pool, at best you have an argument for how we describe the action of cutting a cake in terms of numbers, but not the math itself.
Dividing by zero is undefined but the limit of 1/x as x approaches zero is infinity. This is why what you are describing is nonsensical. In reality, when we say we divide something x times, we would describe how many pieces we then have with 1/(x+1). So if we cut a cake 1 time, we would wind up with each piece being 1/(1+1) or 1/2 of the cake. If we cut a cake zero times, we would end up with each piece being 1/(0+1) or 1 cake. Dividing something x times is not the same as dividing by x. RE: Let's settle this shit once and for all

To the OP, it is not logically possible to have a non-existing set (the denominator) with members (the numerator) in it. In other words, you can have a pantry with no cakes in it but you cannot have a cake in a pantry that doesn't exist.
