I used to get really mindfucked by fractals. How can something exist in a fraction of a dimension? How is it that the sphereflake can have an infinite surface area and a finite volume? We can imagine fractals and even draw them to a great deal of accuracy but a true fractal cannot exist in the physical universe.
That's the answer to both of those questions. Fractals simply don't exist. And infinite area within a finite volume isn't really all that bizarre. In fact any three-dimensional space contains an infinite amount of area. Think of a cube. It can be viewed as a stack of an infinite number of squares. Just like a line can be thought of as an infinite number of line segments.
Anyway, fuck fractals.

Lines don't exist either. Go fuck yourself.

Just like a *square* can be thought of as an infinite number of line segments.
fuck, I can't think straight

Real things can't have an infinite surface area, eh? What a realization!
BITCHES DON'T KNOW BOUT MY PLANCK LENGTH
If a cube is an infinite stack of squares, and a square is an infinite stack of lines, and a line is an infinite stack of points, then a point is an infinite stack of ... what?

False, Sir. I hear bitches talking about your plank, at length.

Formally, you'd be speaking of line segments, not lines.
well
if the naturals set can be formed from empty sets and the R from the N, calling the line as R, why can't I say that the dots are the subsets of R and each one can be formed with the N elements, which are specific dots formed from nothing
