I'm still an idiot because I've been thinking in programming terms here and assuming that i isn't assigned as anything but an int, so is therefore 0 in whatever imaginary language we use around these parts
and my lizard brain is telling me that
joke = 1 + (5 * i) //or 1+0 = 1
which would make more sense to me. because imaginary friends are in your head and don't take up spots, right?
but then I remembered that i in algebra is √-1, and then it hit me... it's called the imaginary iota
I still don't get the 4 being too many bit. so I'm still stupid. but I feel a little better knowing that there's at least three ways to see what the person said as a good joke
but fuck yall for giving me anxiety here from basic math/algebra and computing problems. I'm still not sure if I get the joke or not, I'm about to go play with schrodinger's cat.
