0.999999... = 1?

What the fuck. Why is that true. They got different numbers in them.

Infinitesimals have nothing to do with 0.999~ = 1, dumbshit, because the number line has nothing to do with it.  Go look at the two proofs I have provided in this thread, the algebraic one and the one using an infinite series.  They both concretely prove that 0.999~ = 1 without regard to the fucking retarded number line.

Seriously, fuck the number line.

I was just arguing that 0.000...1 could potentially be a representation of the infinitesimal.  I said it would be a retarded representation, but one nevertheless.  If you don't think it's the infinitesimal, then what the fuck kind of value do you think 0.000...1 has as a concept?  The very way it's written is nonsensical!
