    Hahah. I think you should double check your sources. As far as I know 5 years is less than 25

      To be fair, the year 2020 was a very long couple of decades.

      As a mathematician i can sure you that 5, as you have assumed, is indeed less than 25.

        If you’re a mathematician how can you be dissing 5 like that?

        Less than? Hell no.

        5 is soo much more and soo many things that 25 isn’t and never will be.

        Without 5 you wouldn’t even have 25. Some might even say that 5 is the root of 25. Show some respect for the roots.

        Not only is 5 a beautiful prime number, it’s also the perfect number for a geometric shape. Everyone knows what a pentagon looks like. The Pentagon even named their institution as that. They didn’t name it after 25. Who the hell has ever heard of the icosikaiopentagon? Nobody that’s who.

        Look at the American flag. It has 50 stars. Guess which shape they have? That’s right, each of the 50 states have stars with 5 points. Exactly 0 of them chose to have a 25 pointed star.

        You know what a bad number is? Yes: 25.

        25 is a shitty composite number. It’s shitty because it’s not even good at being a composite number; having only a measly 3 factors. Guess which? Yes. Itself, one and fucking 5 of all things.

        That’s because it’s square and boring. Does it even look square to you? Uneven 25 is supposedly a square. I never made a square of 25 things. What’s the fucking point in that? If I had to make a square for any purpose whatsoever, I’d definitely chose a better number with many more factors, so I could actually use the squaredness to divide things and mark mid points and what not. 4 is a square. 16 is a square. They’re so much better at being square than 25, because you can cut them in half and make a grid with a midpoint.

        So, yeah yeah, there are probably other numbers out there greater than 5, but it sure as fuck is not 25.

    You sure about that? Maybe you meant 2000 not 2020? Regardless, not sure how to feel about that…
