Frosty I have a problem
It is a bad problem and very not good
The sentence "the smallest positive integer not definable in under sixty letters" defines a positive integer in under sixty letters

The way I see it, language is the most important thing humans have created, while mathematics is the most important thing humans have discovered.
of course. This statement presumes that mathematical relationships (e.g "9 > 8" or "the hypotenuse of a right triangle with sides 3 and 4 equals 5") are inherent universal truths - would you agree with that assessment?

Hey. Hey y'all. Y'all listen up. Some of you have probably heard about the phasing out of the Flash plugin by browsers and thus the demise of online flash games - fun little quick-loading games of the myriad and addictive sort that most people have whiled away a few lunch breaks with at some point in their lives. Some sites are putting in the hard yards to try and convert all their games' flash code into HTML5 code, but these converted games are much clunkier and tougher on your bandwidth while offering no improvement over the original format, so most places are simply binning their entire library of flash games and trying their hands at making replacements in other formats.
This would have been absolutely apocalyptic for thousands of these games - twenty years of creative abundance worth -, since once their hosting sites delete them from their servers it's game over and they're gone for good. However, since nobody else seemed to be actually doing anything about it, one fabulous internet user called BlueMaxima took it upon themselves to create a site offering free downloads of every flash game they could scavenge from the entire internet. This project rapidly escalated into what now constitutes a free custom frontend program allowing you to play anything from a fully-searchable online database of over thirty-eight thousand (!!!) playable and functioning games, or, if you have the storage space and inclination, a 288 gigabyte download of every flash game you can possibly think of for your own personal offline cache. For perspective, that's enough games that you can play ten new ones every day and have enough games to last you over ten years. Plus, if a game you used to play isn't on the list, you can ask them to find it and they'll do their best to get it into the next version of the database. The project is called Flashpoint 7.1, and it's one of the most beautiful pieces of internet I've ever seen.

In memoriam: John Conway, known for the creation of surreal numbers, Conway groups, the monstrous moonshine conjecture cluster, icosians, the free will theorem, Conway chained arrow notation and Conway's Game of Life, as well as for his important work on game theory, Penrose tilings and the classification of finite simple groups (among many, many other things). Died April 11th, 2020.

Actually it's alligatorception but he was close
By the way the above sentence (and a lot of our sentences in this thread tbh) has probably never been spoken before in human history. I believe that Noam Chomsky once said that many sentences humans speak are unique. I've always found that pretty interesting
