Well, it’s 2024, and according to the luminary film Jason X, hockey will be outlawed this year.

Maybe we can push to change the name of the basketball to the “Oberon.”
Oh, and I’m firing Szarzglarth from the appetizer suggestions.

As a mathematician, I’m both aware of “number systems” that “don’t have fractions” (generally called “rings”), but also of the fact that you’ll basically inevitably reconstruct something that works identically to how fractions do as soon as you have the ability to add and multiply, and decide that you want to be able to undo multiplication.
I almost went for a gay buttsex ‘bottom’ joke, but then I thought of something classier and not assier. and also more sports-related. Sometimes you gotta sit on comments for a long time.
Xin: As a grammarian, I’ll take your word for it.
Cold: Mathematics and buttsex? Ladies and gentlemen, this comment section has become Classical Greece!
