That you can have 5 apples, divide them zero times, and somehow end up with math shitting itself inside-out at you even though the apples are still just sitting there.

You try having 5 apples and divide them into 0 equal group and you’ll shit yourself too.

Except that by dividing the total number zero times means you’re not dividing them at all, and therefore by doing nothing you are still left with 5 apples.

Not dividing at all is dividing by 1.
