it’s not actually math. It’s people coming up with alternative definitions and then feeling smug when their alternative definitions give weird results.
He has a plus one, and a minus one, a plus two, and a minus two, and so on. This is analogous to how conditionally convergent series can be modified to give any finite (or infinite) sum merely by changing the order of the terms.
And that -1/12 bs is why I cannot math.
1+2+3 … tends toward infinity and there’s no amount of playing with numbers will convince me otherwise.

It literally is math tho
Yeah because these weird definitions might be useful in some other context.
None of those contexts include ordering a number of beers
Hello, I play with numbers:
1+2+3+...=S S-S=1+2+3+4+... -1-2-3-...= 1+1+1+1+...=S-S=0Moral of the story: ones together are nothing.
Thank you for your attention.
lol 1-1, 2-2 etc.
How do you get 1 + 2-1?
You need to distribute that minus sign to all numbers in the sequence. You can’t leave off the first one.
