I considered deleting the post, but this seems more cowardly than just admitting I was wrong. But TIL something!

    Yeah, this is what it comes down to. In calculus, infinity doesn’t exist, you just approach it when you take the limit. You’ll approach it “quicker” with the 100 dollar bills, so to speak

      You’re thinking of a different calculus problem in this case we are comparing the growth rate of 100*\infty vs \infty. In calculus, you cannot accelerate the growth of \infty. If you put \infty / \infty your answer will be undefined (you can double check with Wolfram), similarly, if you put 100*\infty / \infty, you will also get undefined
