Proof:
Nothing from nothing leaves nothing
You gotta have something
If you wanna be with me
Nothing from nothing leaves nothing
You gotta have something
If you wanna be with me

I'm not trying to be your hero
'Cause that zero is too cold for me, Brrr
I'm not trying to be your highness
'Cause that minus is too low to see, yeah

Nothing from nothing leaves nothing
And I'm not stuffing
Believe you me
Don't you remember I told ya
I'm a soldier in the war on poverty, yeah
Yes, I am

instrumental break

Nothing from nothing leaves nothing
You gotta have something
If you wanna be with me
Nothing from nothing leaves nothing
You gotta have something
If you wanna be with me

You gotta have something
If you wanna be with me
You gotta bring me something girl
If you wanna be with me

I don't understand how threads like these are allowed to exist.
Okay. Let's say you take the limit of x/x as x approaches 0.
That's simple enough, right? You simplify x/x and get 1, getting lim(x->0)x/x = 1.
Hah, funny. That's not even zero anyway. This is arbitrary anyway, because you will get different values approaching 0/0 with different methods.
lim(x->0) 0/x = 0
lim(x->0) x/0 = null
However, 0/0 still doesn't have any value. The limit of the first example is still 1, but at the actual point (0,1) there is still a hole. Why? Because you can't fucking divide by zero.

Let's maybe take this backwards.
0x0 = 0
That works, sure. However, 1x0 = 0.
Does that mean that 0/0 also equals 1?
2x0 = 0
Or two?
No, this just doesn't mean anything anymore. You can somewhat look at the answer as all values in the complex system, but that doesn't mean anything. Wouldn't it be kinda stupid to endlessly praise someone, no matter what they did, including sitting there, doing nothing? By the same token, it wouldn't be the best approach to look at the answer as all possible values. And it sure as fuck wouldn't be right to look to the answer as zero or one.
