I can prove to you that 0.9999 repeating is the EXACT same number as the number 1, but you have to promise that you won't get mad at me.

The problem is .333 repeating is not equivalent to 1/3. .333 repeating infinitely approaches 1/3, but never reaches it. 1/3 is simply impossible to write as a complete decimal. So both are true, 1/3 × 3 =1, .333 × 3 = .999

1 third plus 1 third plus 1 third.
Is equal to 1 in a fraction.
Just like 1 fourth 4 times is equal to 1 whole.
But 333 plus 333 plus 333 is still 999, not 1000.
(This stuff is exactly why I never could grasp math.)

I don't see how this is useful... It's like oh hey I can't explain a black whole but it's there...

No, you proved that .333 + .333 + .333 = 1.
