I’m Romanian and I recently came across the definition of bangmaid which fits me perfectly, so that’s how my username came to be.

Is there a male equivalant for this? I wanna be that.
Four is a four letter word
in fact it is the only number in English that has as many letters as its value
Oh yeah? Prove it. Name every number.
I know you didn’t mean this seriously, but it’s easy to see:
- zero has 4 letters
- one has 3 letters
- two has 3 letters
- three has 5 letters
- four has 4 letters
- five has 4 letters
- six has 3 letters
- seven has 5 letters
- eight has 5 letters
- nine has 4 letters
- ten has 3 letters
- eleven has 6 letters
- twelve has 6 letters
- after this, there are no possible candidates anymore: the next numbers are all just 3-9 (with slight spelling variations) followed by 4-letter “teen”, giving us at most 9 letters, too few to have equal value to the numbers they name
- after that there is no possible way to get to the high values of the numbers they name by combining words like “twenty” or “thirty” or “hundred” or “thousand” or “million” with the previous ones
Negative fifteen only works for absolute value, but it’s fun to point out
Negative fifteen = -15 …does it not?
Edit: leaving my mistake, Negative fifteen is 15 characters, not -15
How do we know there isn’t a number that was named by a mathematician like googol or Graham’s number, where unlike defining it as a 1 with a hundred zeros after it, it’s instead defined by it’s spelling?
Here’s one: the number seven thousand three hundred and seven is otherwise known as Da…ve’s number, which is spelt with a D and then seven thousand three hundred and three A’s, followed by ve’s. It’s a made up name for a number but so is googol so I think it should be a valid candidate.
That’s more about how we spell things than the number they represent
What about Keleven?
What about roman numeral i?
Zero only has zero letters
No, but 0 does.
-9 (minus nine) and a couple of other negative numbers kind of do it too, at a push. There was a thread about this a while ago…
“minus nine” definitely has 9 letters, not -9.
That’s where the “kind of” bit of the sentence kicks in…
I thought we were just shit posters having a laugh - sorry I don’t measure up to the required academic level to comment.

That’s the most amazing number I’ve ever encountered… thank you.

I used bitwarden’s username generator hahaha
When I was a young warthog, I needed my first username. I thought to myself “what’s cool, that I can base my name on?” “Gansters are cool!” “How about Al Capone? He’s cool. He is even a good person. He invented milk expiration dates or something like that.” “But I can’t just have that name, I have to make it cooler. I’ll write it using l337 speak.”
Thus, my username “alkpwn” (plus some numbers because it was taken on Xbox live) was born.
Quickly, I realized people didn’t always understand it. They would have trouble pronouncing it when they saw it in halo 2. From “Al capn” to “Alk pawn”, I got all sorts of pronunciations.
My friends ended up just shortening it to Alk. And here we are.

I like the colour purple, and I want to live in the woods and be a heathen.
I was very sad, and very self-isolating for a long while. This even translated to online interactions - always lurked and never posted, because really what did I have to say that anyone gave a shit about?
Started to feel a little less sad, and talk with people online a bit. The walls didn’t necessarily tumble, but they started to crack.
So here I am, speaking though Cracks_InTheWalls. Now, people still don’t give a shit about that, but in turn I don’t about that, which IMO is a significant improvement from where I was.
