Then how can it be Truth at all?

[โ€“] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

If 3 * 1/3 = 3/1 * 1/3 = 3/3 = 1

And 1/3 = 0.3333โ€ฆ

Then 0.3333โ€ฆ * 3 = 0.9999โ€ฆ = 1

I know how it works, I'm asking how can something so offensive be a universal truth?

If you're offended by truth, that sounds like a you problem.

The universe is not a nice place. It never was, and never will be. This universe is merely a proving ground for the strong to conquer, and the weak to perish. You either offend, or be offended.
