No it's doesn't because the bottom rail is a countable infinity, the decimals are an uncountable infinity. Go watch the video it explains it.

I know it is drawn countably infinite, but it represents the reals, also wise guy, i studied basic logic in university, it covers this topic.

By assigning people to it it becomes countable. You can't assign uncountable numbers like that. It's both in the text of the meme and in the illustration

i don't know why you're trying so hard to away explain why the meme doesn't work, but sure.

the real numbers on the bottom rail include all decimals, no?
