      What you’re missing is that I’m just posting things with whatever headline will make people laugh.

          Did you have to space it out in capital letters because if you’d written it “oic” people might interpret it as a French person saying “wack”

    Imagine being a sci fi author and saying my aliens do this and then having your fans just defend it and try to justify how it actually makes sense in reality for some reason.

    We are cooking with manifolds

    EDIT: wait, no, WTH am I saying? At the forking point, that thing is not locally homeomorphic to R^n for any natural n.

    It’s okay. The Real numbers are dense (within the real numbers), so no matter how many branches we make, we’ll always have just as many real numbers jammed arbitrarily close together on all branches!

      But what if we add one branch for each subset of the set of all real numbers.
