Oh wow. Do we have a lemmy community for that?
be the change you want to see!
I googled "Big Naturals". Result number 16 was this:
Should've been number 1.
This actually got a chuckle out of me. Prob the first number related joke I've laughed at.
big badonka-donkadonks
Why, would anyone at all think about something else?

Actually, those are not the same. Natural numbers include zero, positive integers do not. She shoud definately use 'big naturals'.
Edit: although you could argue that it doesnt matter as 0 is arguably neither big nor large
Natural numbers only include zero if you define it so in the beginning of your book/paper/whatever. Otherwise it's ambiguous and you should be ashamed of yourself.

Natural numbers include zero
That is a divisive opinion and not actually a fact

Big naturals in fact include two zeroes:
(o ) ( o)
Spaces and parens added for clarity
When enclosed in parentheses I believe the correct term is "bolt-ons"
(0 ) ( 0)
You can't fool me.
(o Y o) solve for Y
Depends on how you draw it.

Also in an aqueous environment, they become floating point values.
Large nonnegative numbers*
If they're big the zero is skipped anyway
Just write it bigger.

I don't care if they're big, as long as they're real

Don't get me started on the unnatural and supernatural numbers.
Sound made up, like imaginary numbers.
I mean all numbers are made up when you think about it.
Also unrelated but natural numbers are closed under multiplication (by pure coincidence) while imaginary numbers are not.
This means natural numbers make worse examples when learning about sets.
Made me think of how everything is base 10, even octal or binary.
That's true OP, "big naturals" are indeed very pronounced.
