Partial orders can also have maximums

But maximums are only guaranteed to be represented by a unique element in in total orderings.

Edit: also, infinite sets might not necessarily contain an element of their maximum value.

Find the local maximum by taking the derivative:

Sexuality has multiple axes.

  1. Intensity
  2. Orientation (towards Men, Women, Frogs)
  3. Time (people have been known to have straight periods, gay periods, horny periods, ace periods, etc.)

There are probably others that we relate to kink and paraphilia.

So the very gayest person would have to be specifically defined. Which is gayer: the horniest bisexual or the average-libido gay who has absolute-zero-Kelvin interest in the other sex? Or the gay man who is totally in love with (and exclusively devoted to) his hubby and has been this way for fifty years?

I thought Smith won most gay?

Since the real numbers are a spectrum there exists one number which is the largest

[–] ReveredOxygen@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

Not comparable. There are finite gay people but infinite real numbers

Awsome logic in the original original post.

On a totally unrelated note: whats the biggest number between 0 and 1 (0<x<1)?

[–] Cassa@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Wouldn't it be like 9.99 into infinity? 🤔 and since the human population (at least currently living) is not infinete, then at some 9.999999 there wouldn't be anyone with a higher value? (I don't know math)

[–] onion@feddit.de 0 points 5 months ago

0.9999... is equal to 1, so no
