Hell, Horns, and New Metrics

Recently, a FB mentioned that he was “H as H”¹. Of course I wanted to properly quantize this, and perhaps be able to create a metric of sexual arousal. If we use ‘HaH’² as an upper bound on the sexual arousal metric, we would need to know the number of horns in the underworld. Once we have that number, the upper bound is likely around 2 * cDaemons³

Of course, ChatGPT was little use here. It claims that per most literature, the number of demons is more or less uncountable.

2. This has an unfortunate resemblance to “HnH;” at some point, I’m going to create the master list of abbreviations for drug use. My former employer would greatly benefit from it. As recently as 2023, I had to tell a content moderator that a desire to take a “ski trip” had nothing to do with winter sports. ↩

3. This of course generates other standard values like “As H as an Irix 4.1 box” or “As H as a CentOS 9 system.” (Do modern Unixen even use daemons any more? Honestly, my knowledge of modern OSes ended around 2001, and that was with something obscure like OSF/1 running on an AlphaStation.) ↩
