(^ j. 1p1)
_1j1.22465e_16
So much so, in fact, that if I'm ever in the situation of having to prove
to a finicky Galactic Emperor that humanity is indeed capable of producing
the most sublime beauty and thus worthy of saving, I would undoubtedly
resort to something like:
(0j1 * 1p1) = (^. _1)
1
...lest he finds the former as perturbing as I do on my bad days, turns me
into catfood on the spot and makes the Sun go supernova just like that.
