“Do not discriminate against us who doesn't have two...”

~ Jens Ivar

“Big Brother”

“Where the fuck did you hide in the 1940's?”

~ Adolf Hitler on Jens Ivar

“ It is the number after 1 (number).”

~ Captain Obvious on 2

Plural form of 1, although 2 can be as bad as 1 (it's the loneliest number since the number 1). The uppercase form is @, except in Rest Of World where it is "

“Two's a crowd, man!”

~ Triumvirate

It's just this number, you know?

The official slogan of 2 is "This time, it's not 1".

2 is the only even prime number, which makes it quite odd.

2 is Seda. Seda is best. Therefore, 2 is best.

2+2 approaches infinity for very large values of 2.

2 is also the eventual destroyer of Civilization and Justice as we know it, as according to Oscar Wilde.

2 is the number of cows that you have. (You have two cows)

2 is the girl/boy your bf/gf is holding hands with when you're with number 3, making you number 10987087 in his/her visitor's list.

2 is the minimum number of gods you need for polytheism. Alexander Shulgin has even invented a whole drug family called 2C just to honor the number 2.

Gołębiowski's recursive formula for 2

This formula allows you to compute 2 with given precision. It also looks like a Triforce turned upside-down. You may also notice that it each triangle of the triforce is also made up of triforces. Thus, it's a fractured triforce.

$2={\frac {2+2}{2}}={\frac {{\frac {2+2}{2}}+{\frac {2+2}{2}}}{\frac {2+2}{2}}}={\frac {{\frac {{\frac {2+2}{2}}+{\frac {2+2}{2}}}{\frac {2+2}{2}}}+{\frac {{\frac {2+2}{2}}+{\frac {2+2}{2}}}{\frac {2+2}{2}}}}{\frac {{\frac {2+2}{2}}+{\frac {2+2}{2}}}{\frac {2+2}{2}}}}={\frac {{\frac {{\frac {{\frac {2+2}{2}}+{\frac {2+2}{2}}}{\frac {2+2}{2}}}+{\frac {{\frac {2+2}{2}}+{\frac {2+2}{2}}}{\frac {2+2}{2}}}}{\frac {{\frac {2+2}{2}}+{\frac {2+2}{2}}}{\frac {2+2}{2}}}}+{\frac {{\frac {{\frac {2+2}{2}}+{\frac {2+2}{2}}}{\frac {2+2}{2}}}+{\frac {{\frac {2+2}{2}}+{\frac {2+2}{2}}}{\frac {2+2}{2}}}}{\frac {{\frac {2+2}{2}}+{\frac {2+2}{2}}}{\frac {2+2}{2}}}}}{\frac {{\frac {{\frac {2+2}{2}}+{\frac {2+2}{2}}}{\frac {2+2}{2}}}+{\frac {{\frac {2+2}{2}}+{\frac {2+2}{2}}}{\frac {2+2}{2}}}}{\frac {{\frac {2+2}{2}}+{\frac {2+2}{2}}}{\frac {2+2}{2}}}}}=$

${\frac {{\frac {{\frac {{\frac {{\frac {2+2}{2}}+{\frac {2+2}{2}}}{\frac {2+2}{2}}}+{\frac {{\frac {2+2}{2}}+{\frac {2+2}{2}}}{\frac {2+2}{2}}}}{\frac {{\frac {2+2}{2}}+{\frac {2+2}{2}}}{\frac {2+2}{2}}}}+{\frac {{\frac {{\frac {2+2}{2}}+{\frac {2+2}{2}}}{\frac {2+2}{2}}}+{\frac {{\frac {2+2}{2}}+{\frac {2+2}{2}}}{\frac {2+2}{2}}}}{\frac {{\frac {2+2}{2}}+{\frac {2+2}{2}}}{\frac {2+2}{2}}}}}{\frac {{\frac {{\frac {2+2}{2}}+{\frac {2+2}{2}}}{\frac {2+2}{2}}}+{\frac {{\frac {2+2}{2}}+{\frac {2+2}{2}}}{\frac {2+2}{2}}}}{\frac {{\frac {2+2}{2}}+{\frac {2+2}{2}}}{\frac {2+2}{2}}}}}+{\frac {{\frac {{\frac {{\frac {2+2}{2}}+{\frac {2+2}{2}}}{\frac {2+2}{2}}}+{\frac {{\frac {2+2}{2}}+{\frac {2+2}{2}}}{\frac {2+2}{2}}}}{\frac {{\frac {2+2}{2}}+{\frac {2+2}{2}}}{\frac {2+2}{2}}}}+{\frac {{\frac {{\frac {2+2}{2}}+{\frac {2+2}{2}}}{\frac {2+2}{2}}}+{\frac {{\frac {2+2}{2}}+{\frac {2+2}{2}}}{\frac {2+2}{2}}}}{\frac {{\frac {2+2}{2}}+{\frac {2+2}{2}}}{\frac {2+2}{2}}}}}{\frac {{\frac {{\frac {2+2}{2}}+{\frac {2+2}{2}}}{\frac {2+2}{2}}}+{\frac {{\frac {2+2}{2}}+{\frac {2+2}{2}}}{\frac {2+2}{2}}}}{\frac {{\frac {2+2}{2}}+{\frac {2+2}{2}}}{\frac {2+2}{2}}}}}}{\frac {{\frac {{\frac {{\frac {2+2}{2}}+{\frac {2+2}{2}}}{\frac {2+2}{2}}}+{\frac {{\frac {2+2}{2}}+{\frac {2+2}{2}}}{\frac {2+2}{2}}}}{\frac {{\frac {2+2}{2}}+{\frac {2+2}{2}}}{\frac {2+2}{2}}}}+{\frac {{\frac {{\frac {2+2}{2}}+{\frac {2+2}{2}}}{\frac {2+2}{2}}}+{\frac {{\frac {2+2}{2}}+{\frac {2+2}{2}}}{\frac {2+2}{2}}}}{\frac {{\frac {2+2}{2}}+{\frac {2+2}{2}}}{\frac {2+2}{2}}}}}{\frac {{\frac {{\frac {2+2}{2}}+{\frac {2+2}{2}}}{\frac {2+2}{2}}}+{\frac {{\frac {2+2}{2}}+{\frac {2+2}{2}}}{\frac {2+2}{2}}}}{\frac {{\frac {2+2}{2}}+{\frac {2+2}{2}}}{\frac {2+2}{2}}}}}}=...$

Compare with half.

This formula is known for being very obstinate and conservative. For example substituting 2 with 3 or 654 doesn't affect the result:

${\frac {{\frac {3+3}{3}}+{\frac {3+3}{3}}}{\frac {3+3}{3}}}=2$

${\frac {{\frac {654+654}{654}}+{\frac {654+654}{654}}}{\frac {654+654}{654}}}=2$

Heck, it even works with the integer DeLorean, and the imaginary number Aerosmith. Unfortunately, there is already a proof for 1+1=3 2 got kicked out of the number line, put itself to the period instead.
