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?

    These are mostly joke suggestions, but:

    NaNs

    nulls

    voids

    unhandled exceptions

    … common theme here is the math/programming joke, but many of them also capture elements of anarchism, or can be interpreted as adopting a self-referential moniker which mocking the systems anarchists critique.

    … probably it is a bit of a reach, but a good number of people refer to black cats as ‘voids’ these days, and … pretty decent history of angry black cats as symbols of anarchism.

    You could also maybe l33tsp33k them up a bit?

    Use ‘z’ instead of ‘s’ to pluralize?
