Happy Skynet day to those who celebrate

I skipped the metaphor entirely because it made no sense - particularly in this context (among other reasons). i was referring to several of your prior responses cumulatively.
Well you're a very squishy bird.

I thought those things got closer to 55mpg?

That's assuming you don't wreck it before you refill. The nature of the car precludes this.

Yeah, that's basically how I remember it, though it's not always stats--the terms are used in other fields of math as well. A first calculus class typically includes a proof that the limit of the sum of an infinite geometric series (a + ar + ar^2 + ar^3 + ...) tends towards a/(1-r) where a is the first term and r is the ratio of successive terms, provided that -1 < r < 1. (Otherwise the series diverges and the limit isn't defined.)
Absolutely! I vaguely remember a discussion of geometric growth in at least one other course, but I was doing my best to give a thorough layperson’s explanation without getting into more analytic definitions for geometric series or the concept of continuity. I studied abstract/theoretical mathematics in my undergraduate degree, so I only really remember seeing geometric growth defined in statistics courses as far as applied mathematics goes as I avoided those courses where I could. I’m not in academia, and I did not pursue a further degree, so my apologies if I wasn’t entirely accurate. My mathematical theory is very rusty these days. lol

What a wild counter-idea. "Go back in time and kill Hitler": played out.
"Go back in time and clash with the invading aliens who have sent their own people back in time to destroy us from the past by installing players that will wreck us as a species over time": oh. As I say it, this is half-way to This is How You Lose the Time WarThis is How You Lose the Time War
it was the Doctor.

Oh, I only minored in math, I'm no expert either! Yeah, your explanation was really fine, I just thought the "sum of a geometric series" thing might ring a bell for some readers.
