Math stuff 

Gonna spend the weekend trying to understand limits and colimits probably

I do understand stuff like pullbacks, pushouts and equalizers in the very specific categories of sets or abelian groups but outside of that, give me an arbitrary diagram and I'm like "huh????"

re: Math stuff 

In the remotely possible case that anyone here is willing to explain limits to me: I would appreciate that

re: Math stuff 

@socks i'm guessing this is not limits in the calculus sense

@Felthry It's really not no, that's also confusing in its own way but it's high school level stuff

@socks yeah i'd've been surprised if you didn't understand the calculus limits, but perfectly willing to help explain anyway!

@socks that looks far too mathy for me, wow
