Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Okay, so I had a personal project for a long time that addressed the potential for an algebra that allowed for the multipicitive inverse of the additive identity.
In the context of the resulting non-associative algebra, 0/0=1, rather than 0.
For anyone wondering, the foundation goes as such: Ω0=1, Ωx=ΩΩ=Ω, x+Ω=Ω, Ω-Ω=Ω+Ω=0.
A fun consequence of this is the exponential function exp(x)=Σ((x^n)/n!) diverges at exp(Ω). Specifically you can reduce it to Σ(Ω), which when you try to evaluate it, you find that it evaluates to either 0 or Ω. This is particularly fitting, because e^x has a divergent limit at infinity. Specially, it approaches infinity when going towards the positive end and it approaches 0 when approaching the negative.
There's more cool things you can do with that, but I'll leave it there for now.
That seems interesting. Do you have any material/link/blog on this?
No, I'm pretty shy about my work in-person and I don't like linking my online and IRL self. Do you have any recommendations for places to put my work?
Sadly, no. However, you could maybe do a personal blog, similar to how Terrence Tao does.
I really encourage you to try, it could help you find new stuff, check for mistakes, clarify ideas, and maybe even hear ideas from others.
I appreciate your encouragement; it's an extremely rare occurrence when I discuss my ideas with others. I'll think about what you've said and if I follow through I hope to remember to send you a message. I'm favouriting this comment so I can find it again.
That'll make me really glad :)
