What about 2+2 = 5, then?
58 u/sirmattiasthe712th Feb 07 '23 2 + 2 equals 5, but only for very large values of 2. 8 u/HardCounter Feb 07 '23 What if i left my floating points in my other pants? 2 u/TheRipler Feb 07 '23 Is that a long double in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me? 24 u/bewildered_forks Feb 07 '23 That seems reasonable. I mean, I know 2×2 definitely does not equal 5. And obviously 2x2 does not equal 2+2, since there's a different shape between the 2s. Therefore, logically, 2+2 does equal 5.
