What's missing is ... (three dots) at the end.
Three dots would signify ten tens, eleven elevens, twelve twelves, etc. following the nine nines

I hadn't thought of that, but I would prefer the infinity symbol. And, if that be the case, prepend the lot with a negative infinity symbol, and so:
-∞122333444455555666666777777788888888999999999∞
|

Can we agree to disagree on this?
The right one is OK, but what does the -∞ on the left do?
Cannot have 'negative one' negative ones, or 'negative two' negative twos, isn't it?
|
|

|

Why not? If there can be two 2s, there can be negative two 2s, too, to give an example. These also would be invisible but, if computed algorithmically, would doubtless result in a stack overflow.

Agree.

You forget, there are a transfinite number of infinities, and they are all different.
And why can't you have a negative number of anything? You never had a overdraft?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Fortunately not - they are both countable! Transfinites and Aleph numbers make my head hurt when I think about them too much...

An overdraft isn't a negative number it's a positive pain! In any case you can't have a negative number of overdrafts ... beiieve me, I've tried!

That would of course be an infinity of infinity symbols.
|
|
|
|
|
But they must be invisible (dark matter?)
|
|
|
|

Come to think of it, ellipsis dots are not invisible (except for these: of course).

Do you know which continent has the most living tigers?
Depressingly, it's North America with estimates ranging from 2 to 4 times as many captive tigers in the US as still live in the wild where they should...

That is both surprising and sad.

Why? Are you trying to determine its air speed?
|
|

|

That's a trick question!
There are no African Tigers, so it's unladen airspeed is immaterial.
Over the bridge you go!

There are no North American tigers either...

I think it's hilarious that Microsoft wants me to "reserve" my upgrade to Windows 10.
Are they afraid they are going to run out of upgrades?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.
|
|
|
|
|
No. They just afraid they run out of support staff for all the people upgrading

It's the oldest trick in the world: Boosting sales by suggesting urgency and a limited supply.
"Now, for a limited time only..."
How can there still be people who fall for something like this?
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Last two in stock, one for you, the other for me.
All others go elsewhere
