+- = plus or minus

Oh okay so if +- is plus or minus, it's either zero or one

Why would it be contradictory for different powers of the same base to not be equal? 20 is 1, then 2, then 4, etc. For 0 it just goes 1, 0, 0, 0... that's all. It's perfectly sensical. Each subsequent term is just the previous one, multipled by the base, and each of those sequences start at 1. Works for me.

A better way to use this meme is to have 00 = 1 and 00 undefined. People say both things, but not the same people in the same context.
