Where the fuck is 7?

Where the fuck is 7?

Story of my life. My favorite's missing :^(

I put a middle bar on my 7s, and it's especially satisfying to write.

I think the "s" in the poll is for seven.

Seems like nobody does that anymore, but you've given me the inspiration to start. I wonder if young people would even know what that weird-looking symbol is.

Do you also cross your zeroes?

 

[Zeze]

I don't cross 7s unless I'm consciously being fancy.
I make a persistent habit to always cross my zeroes when it's present with letter Os.

Anyone cap and mat their 1s?

I only cross zeroes if there's a chance of confusing it with o, but that seldom happens. My other two (somewhat) peculiarities is I bar my Zs, and I do my 4s closed.

Voted for 0, which is what Zeze's cryptocurrency might be worth a few weeks from now.

I picked zero, but, I kinda like null better.

 

[BudAshes]

Bajillion.

Null is not a number. It's an error.

 

[BurnItDwn]

Null is not a number. It's an error.

Null is more than just an error, its more like an absence of substance.

an error is like the square root of negative one, which is also an imaginary number, which is also a number. Or, you could say 1 divided by zero is an error, but its also more or less infinity, of course there are infinite different scales of infinity, you could say that 10 divided by zero is 10 times as much as 1 divided by zero, but both are errors. You listed specific integers, but didn't specify real numbers, or integers, you just said numbers. I used a slightly liberal interpreation of number to imply anything used to track a value, and took the opposite... its really more of an antinumber. But, I voted for 0, since 0 was an option, so, if null is not an allowable answer, then, you already got 0 from me. I hope 0 is enough. If 0 isnt enough, then add 0 more to reach the same amount of not enough.

Yes null is an absence of substance, but not 0. It's not absence of value, but the value is not present / undetermined / unknown / hence error.

Therefore null is not a number.

I bar my 7s and Zs, but I don't close my 4s. I do put feet on my 't's and 'l's though.

 

[BurnItDwn]

Yes null is an absence of substance, but not 0. It's not absence of value, but the value is not present / undetermined / unknown / hence error.

Therefore null is not a number.

If you measure null, you will get an error, however, it may have a value, it might sometimes be a number? maybe it covers all numbers? or, is it always no numbers?

I'm surprised number 2 didn't get more votes. Everybody likes a good number 2...

[Captante]

Yes!

Yeah, but a bad number 2 can be like really bad, like the kind you have to wipe 15 times and you still don't get all of it, especially with the toilet paper at work which is like using wax paper to get peanut butter out of shag carpet, so you wipe some more but you start getting blood on the toilet paper and then you can't wipe without pain for like three days.

It's barbaric that bidets aren't universal.
