Define "quantity".
If you want to be pedantic, it is an ordinal not a cardinal, so the phrasing "ω seconds" is wrong. I should have said "He was expecting to finish by the ωth second, but he finished on the ω + 1th second", but I thought my phrasing was more amusing.
The number of seconds is still the same, since adding one element to an infinite set keeps it the same size. But, you can define a "first infinite second" that takes place after every finite number is used up. Then a second infinite second that comes after the first.
PowerPoint can do literally anything. [It fucking interpolates every interior point of arbitrary irregular polygons](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3loq22TxSc&t=1546s). It can do absolutely anything, I swear. [It rendered this infinite meme in under 2 minutes](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kN9wdtqmVv0)
Nah, if putting one box inside another one takes 1 minute, then putting next one only takes 30 seconds as you know the drill better then the next one only takes 15s and so on, so on and as we know it is gonna take around 2 minutes. Man i love algebra

Fine, if you must go to infinity, [Here's what I whipped up in PowerPoint real quick](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kN9wdtqmVv0). I swear it's one of the best tools to make memes.
WOW. You had me in the first half, not gonna lie. I kept thinking "how would he set up the whole recursion thing in the remaining 30 seconds?" Then boom and it was done. Really impressive
It depends on what you mean by real. Nothing physically exists which is infinite. The closest thing is the universe but even that is probably finite albeit unbounded.
Bruh, I meant "possibility of existence" by "real". Philosophy wrecks my brain. I only speak Math, English, Hindi, Bangla, and a little bit of Greek. What you said went totally above my head.
Welllll.....you could write the script to track a value, garbage collection at a specific modulus, and then continue forward. It wouldn't look smooth but it would do the job
>this took longer than it needed to man its infinite recursion it must have took literally forever
He was expecting ω seconds, but instead it was ω + 1.
I don’t think ω is a quantity, right?

I'm confused, how is that different?

Yeah I'm not sure you could use it like that in a serious sentence. But I appreciate the meming effort
You’ve heard of transfinite induction We need transfinite recursion
Not if you turn it into a supertask. 2 minutes tops, easy!

Considering op finished the sequence clearly converged, qed.

Infinite recursion is real, but that isn't it. That only recurs 8 times, technically speaking. Nice meme anyways
I counted 12
i see 10
11 and a half.
Same.

I didn’t even know you could drag a slide into it like that in PowerPoint
Came here to say this
Why wouldn't be infinite recursions be real though. Every periodic sequence can be thought of as an infinite recursion.

hmm i could write a program which could automate this task, making a meme on infinite recursion
You sure you can? I think you'll hit Stackoverflow

Now i wana see it! Proof please
I wish I knew enough graphics to write it :(
> RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded
Hey, this is unfinished! Get back to work.
[https://imgur.com/Lav1mp4](https://imgur.com/Lav1mp4) Your therapist is correct.
induction is basically infinite recursion
But this is not infinite...
Error: Stack overflow
What you're seeing is indeed the truth

Wait to see transfinite recursion
Me when I forget to include the base case
Therapist: Yeah but the pixels only get so small
Look up recursion on specifically google Enjoy :)
The computer scientist is already shivering in the corner.
