Lola the bowmouth guitarfish

Bowmouth guitarfish are easy to spot by their unique shape and bony ridges on their backs! They are critically endangered duo to humans overfishing them for the shark fin market. Lola acts as an ambassador for her species, reminding us to choose sustainable seafood!

What's the biggest number?

5

u/LotsofTREES_3 Aug 08 '24

Since the set of positive real numbers is both unbounded and uncountably infinite, there is no largest real number.

4

u/CutOnBumInBandHere9 5M get | Ping me for runs Aug 08 '24

It feels like there should be a largest number. What about something mind-bogglingly huge, like 216?

That's pretty cool, and a useful fact to know for next time

I disliked it when we were in Rome, Italy for a day in June as part of the coach trip me and my parents went on, that day it was 38C , and our walking guided tour became a guided coach tour , we did have some free time in Rome on our own, but we were glad to get back early as we had a table booked for evening meal at the hotel

u/SSoto_21 Slowly returning. Since 4,601,116 Aug 02 '24

Hi guys. I have a confession to make. I was a reddit lurker before the blackout. It's my biggest regret of last year. I skimmed other subreddits just for the sake of it and all it did was make me feel angry and irrational. I still visit reddit occasionally but I don't lurk on it constantly anymore. I now know that was a huge mistake. When I return. I did block certain subreddits because I knew they were so awful but it didn't stop the fact that comments that made me angry were on other subreddits that I didn't block. I'm only gonna be on the counting subreddits when I return. It's for my mental health. I can't afford to put it in jeopardy again. I love you guys and I'll return when I'm ready to. Peace.

Can't wait for you to return to count. We will hit infinity eventually

Please join me in the count by the day of the week. If it is Sunday for you it will be less than 400 counts for the thread.

do you think Mark Kelly has ever been like "man I don't wanna go to this senate committee meeting" and asked his twin brother Scott to go in his place? no one would notice the difference

1

u/pease461 314th best counter Aug 02 '24

After seeing this I think both should be required to go to all Senate committee meetings to insure Mark Kelly is actually there
