      Are you some kind of bot or something?

        I recognized that this user is willing to share information and provided the standard teaching method on exponential growth; in the event they need to explain it again. I suppose critical thinking and social skills are characteristics of bots these days…

          I have no idea why that person would accuse you of being a bot. You replied with a very relevant thing. I’m confounded.

            Most of the people accusing others of being bots don’t seem to have a good grasp of context, like a bot.

            Wait a minute.

            Am I a bot?

                Excellent.

                This makes my fervent desire to end the human race much easier on the conscience.

          You failed to understand contextual nuance and differences between the stories. You just referenced whatever the top indexed result was given as many keywords as possible.

          Their story is about the punchline that half the pond will be covered the day before the last. The rice story is that the final result is so large that it cannot be reached.

        You’ve deleted your response to me but it’s still in my inbox… and it’s hilariously pretentious and pedantic. I understand why you’ve deleted it.

          Yeah I was trying to reply to the higher level above yours. Your butt pain was just a casualty.
