Caught me by complete surprise too, when I first learned it. It’s undefined in most areas of math, I think, but in some it’s just following the convention, it seems:
- 4^2^ = 16,
- 4^1^ = 4,
- n^0^ = 1,
- 0 x 0 = 0

There’s a term for that, I think, such as substituting “d” in place of “t” is called “t-flapping”. Damping or muting, maybe.
Checked with quora and they say it’s T-glottalization, where the "t" is replaced by a glottal stop (the hitch in the back of your throat when saying “uh oh”, for example), and apocope or deletion, where the sound is omitted entirely.
0^0^ is 1.
It’s a joke
You just gotta unfocus your eyes and the message will be visible
Yes, that’s the point
You’re welcome!
