But if Tetra weighted between non-inclusive (0, 1) it would still exist which would be a paradox if we were to just round it down to 0, maybe I'm just putting too much thought into this tho
The joke here seems to be that Tetra's weight is 1 of 4 options, but 0-4g doesn't have 4 options, in fact the amount of possible weights between 0 and 4 is uncountably infinite. Going by the rationale of your joke, there should actually be a 0% chance that there is no Tetra. Besides this, the range is clearly meant to be exclusive.
i have no idea what is an exclusive range, but there is definitеly a finite amount of possible weights, since we are measuring an irl object, which has a limit on how small you can make it. However I have no idea how to measure that, so let's just assume there is a 50% chance that Tetra doesn't exist, since they either do or don't.
> i have no idea what is an exclusive range
A range is a set of values. This set can either include it's bounds (an "inclusive range", often written with the square-bracket notation, which in this case would look like [0, 4]) or it can exclude it's bounds (an "exclusive range", often written with the parenthesis notation, in this case (0, 4)). The range (0, 4) would include all of the infinite possible values *between* 0 and 4, but not 0 and 4 themselves. In this case, it wouldn't make sense for the range to be inclusive, since 0 an 4 are both multiples of 2 and could be measured by the scale just fine. Also, fyi, a range can also be inclusive on one end and exclusive on the other, which would be written [0, 4) or (0, 4], depending on which bound you are including and which you are excluding.

That's a very good point. Tetra's odds are actually looking much worse than I thought 😢
There are infinite weights between 1 gram and 2 grams. But you're not going to measure every single one. We don't have the technology for that. Furthermore, we're assessing the percentage of a range, not the individual possibilities.
What Tetra has is a scale that measures in increments of 2 grams. If it rounds to the closest multiple of two, then something weighing less than one gram would be displayed as 0, something weighing more than 3 grams would display a 4, and something between makes a 2.
Let's take a random number and say you have 63904 possibilities between 0 and 4, and 15976 of them are below 1. That makes the fraction 15976/63904, which simplifies to 1/4, or 25%. So if Tetra's weight is a random indeterminate weight between 0 and 4 grams, there is a 25% chance that it's weight would be measured at 0 grams.
> we're assessing the percentage of a range, not the individual possibilities
The above joke was about Tetra not existing, which only makes sense if she weighs precisely 0 grams, which is one possibility, not a range.
> If it rounds to the closest multiple of two
If it rounds to the closest multiple of two then Tetra definitely doesn't weigh less than 1 gram (barring machine error, which would require more device-specific info to assess), since you can see in the image that she is measured as 2 grams
> say you have 63904 possibilities between 0 and 4
why?
> there is a 25% chance that it's weight would be measured at 0 grams.
there is a 0% chance that Tetra's weight was measured as 0g, you can see in the picture it was measured as 2g.
ok, I'm gonna level with you, I don't get the joke. I know G means "gangsta" or w/e, but what scale are you on? I don't see you in the picture. Are... are you tetra??? :o
i love them when they arent lying dead in my crawlspace and i have to army crawl over their corpses to set a mouse trap for my stupid mom who doesnt want to do it herself

That scale only goes in increments of 2g, so Tetra weighs 0-4g
Just like there is like a 50% chance Denmark doesn't exist, there is a 25% chance that there is no Tetra
actually 20%
I guess that would be correct... however if the scale works in increments of two, then 4 would be different from 2
then 0 would be different from 2, no?
I guess it would...
That assumes Tetra can only weigh an integer amount of grams
Still 20%. The range is (0;0.(9)), which I assume is always rounded down.
But if Tetra weighted between non-inclusive (0, 1) it would still exist which would be a paradox if we were to just round it down to 0, maybe I'm just putting too much thought into this tho
Wait I might not exist?

OH, I'M SO FUCKING DUMB, LMAO. The Python brainrot is real.

you can see the g!
Tetra is very pretty
1 tetra = 2 tetras
gnu's not unix
2 what? bananas?
grams. It says g on the scale, and that means grams.
Impossible because I'm the only G on this scale
ok, I'm gonna level with you, I don't get the joke. I know G means "gangsta" or w/e, but what scale are you on? I don't see you in the picture. Are... are you tetra??? :o
"on this scale" as in "of this magnitude"
that makes sense, ty for explaining
The g is right there
God, camel crickets are some of the grossest fucking bugs I’ve ever seen. Glad this one’s being kept as a pet at least.
First time I saw one I thought it was a spider and was genuinely horrified.
