  @brainandforce @cll7793 A really simple one that fits here: The interval (0,1) and all the real numbers (-inf,+inf) have the same cardinality. The arctan function for example can be used to get a bijection.

  Another simple consequence of Cantor: There are real numbers and integer sequences which we cannot ever compute or even hope to describe with words! Turing machines and possible strings of words are countable, real numbers are not countable.

  @Metal_Zealot @Aopen Sadly, it's much more unlikely for #PeerTube to become a success than it is for Mastodon or Lemmy. Hosting videos is actually kind of expensive and there will be no ad revenue as there is no way to have ads in a federated world.
