My question is why does any of this matter? It seems to me this is just more noise adding to the cacophony.
pepe prime is never noise
Explain to me why. Im not being snarky. I am an engineer and have had lots of math. I am aware of the significance of prime numbers. Im just having trouble finding the context and where this applies here. Is the answer encryption? Or is there other esoteric reasoning? Is it simply because its pepe and its cool? Please help me understand.
Yes.
Have we lost all humor and wonderment?
I am sorry. I will entertain myself in private from now on.
Jeez, people. Lighten up.
People think it is cool and "certainly not a coincidence" when a 17 pops up in a prime number that also displays as the X logo, then someone proves how easy it really is to generate such images and all of a sudden, people stop seeing the humor in it.
I just don't get it.
I dont have a problem with your efforts. These are awesome. I was just a bit confused about if there was some deep meaning that perhaps I was missing. We do take ourselves too seriously sometimes
Thank you. Same here. Primes are neat; but unless you are working encrypted data, not earthshaking. Even then, simply using a prime reduces the candidate number of keys by orders of magnitude
...been kinda wondering the point also.
