I mean it has to be a limit, a person can only be so gay. Like even if we define a spectrum as far and wide as we like. Let's say height for example. That's an infinite scale, but a human will never be a light year in height, it's just not physically possible. And once there's one human to reach the highest physical limit, what's stopping someone else from also reaching that point?

a person can only be so gay

I knew a lesbian couple but one is now a trans man who transitioned a few years after they married eachother. I like to joke that they are so gay they went all the way around to being straight again.

But we know the tallest person in the world and possibly the tallest person in history. I’m sure if we can calculate a gayness metric we can also find these values, at the very least once our metric is define.

Just because we recorded one tallest man, doesn't mean there was never and won't ever be one that's just as tall. Like sure, depending on our exact metric of gayness, there may very well only be one gayest person, but there could also be a 100, a 1000 or even more gayest people.

Maybe we should have a competition then? Like an annual Gayman competition where gayletes can compete in various gay events, with a winner eventually crowned.

Competitive gay! The ultimate gay-off!

The probability of someone reaching that physical limit is 0.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Ok, but the probability of multiple people reaching the highest point a person will ever reach is not 0.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

No that probability is 0 as well.
