On the Existence of Collatz Slop.

The title of the image says “Collatz Slop Exists,” followed by a broken heart emoji. There is a faded green creature with only a sad face and legs looking rightwards to somebody speaking from out of frame. They are saying, “Yoo! I totally solved the Collatz Problem!” The creature responds by saying, “You assumed the existance of an even odd number. Off to the left is a hyperlink. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2101.06107. Below the link is the text, “Uses Wikipedia as a source” followed by an emoji with its tongue sticking out.

Rose: Yeah, so…

Rose: …no.

Rose: Not a solution to assume an even odd number.

Rose: Those don't exist.
