Do You know the binary system?

[HippieVeganJewslim]

1+1+1=11. 11^11=11011. 11*11=1001. 11!=110.

If You are still confused, how come You believe that there’s no such thing as non-binary people? Binary is for computers and stuff.

There are 10 types of people in this world: those who understand binary, and those who don’t! Are You the first one of the 10th one?

Yes it’s for computers and chemical weapons, but it’s metaphorical use in describing sexuality has become widely accepted. English is a stretch language. If it weren’t, only mathematicians could use the word parameters. Transit and interface could never be used as verbs, etc. Even if the use is not technically correct, we get it.

Just a reminder here that you state "Binary is for computers and stuff." There's a lot of "stuff" which is unspecified, so binary is not limited to computers. Case closed.

I've been using computers since the 70s - back when you had to be a pretty serious geek to even be ABLE to use one. I still use ALT codes to type special characters. Of course I know binary, and hexadecimal. I have to calculate IP ranges and subnets, and you need to understand binary (or, hex, I suppose) to do that.

Yep learned about binary in school. But you would agree we are all on a spectrum right?

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Yes. I’m autistic. I’m on the spectrum.

[BarryLiverstone]

And there are some things that guys do that you don’t like to do right?

[HippieVeganJewslim]

There are many types of guys. Many go to the cinema whilst I don’t, for example.

[strateguy632]

yes binary is for computer but not only. where no bias, like fish, science categorizes fish male and female fish does that help you?

[HippieVeganJewslim]

It indeed does, but female/male is different from non-binary/lass/bloke.

[WindAtMyBack]

This is a completely invalid comparison.

Just because eggs are sold by the dozen doesn't mean there are 12 planets.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Vesta, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Eris, Ceres. There You go, 12 planets.

Yeppers, time we'll spent in school.

01 10

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Decimally six?

[Avicenna]

and hex too

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Hexadecimal, where there are 16 digits, or in binary, 10000 digits?

[Avicenna]

Yeah, there are other systems as well, but that one goes up to F

[HippieVeganJewslim]

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F, 10. Makes sense. I use the octal system when I do sit-ups. I do 100 of them. In the decimal system, that’s 64. If I used the hexadecimal system, it’d take 40.
