Recently I wanted to refer to the general populace of the divisions by zero, but it occurred to me we don’t have a good shorthand for it,. I.e. like one talks about “lemmings” or “redditors”. We could use something for members of lemmy.dbzer0.com.
Ideas?
A division by zero is incalculable. On computers, this is sometimes represented by a special value
NaN, which stands for “Not a number”.So we could be NaNs? Although a few Anglo countries use Nan to refer to a grandmother.
Another benefit: NaN implies a kind of freedom. To quote from the cult 60’s show The Prisoner: “I am not a number, I am a free man”
that would be so fucking rad
