I don’t understand why it’s upsetting:

500 ÷ 2 = 250
50 ÷ 2 = 25
250 + 25 = 275
[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I think it's because people want patterns to exist even where they don't. But this one is extra sensitive. The declaration becomes even less interesting in non-base-ten systems. I'm not even sure why 225 would be intuitive to anybody. I guess that's what makes it a shit post.

I mean the top level post is just incorrect, this is a shitpost making fun of people who aren’t capable of basic calculus. I don’t wanna be like the c/whoosh gal but obviously 550/2 = 225 it’s almost ridiculous that this whole post became so big because of people thinking they know better

[–] [email protected] -1 points 9 hours ago

I see you doing incorrect math I have to downvote

[–] [email protected] 78 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

The person who decided of this should be fired. Same for 77+33

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Why?

77 + 3 = 80
80 + 30 = 110
[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

77+33 must be 100.

Proof: 7+3 = 10, so 77+33 = 100

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Just moving the 3 over makes this obvious: 77 + 3 = 80. Taking the zero off both 80 and the remaining 30, you get 8 + 3 which is so obviously not 10, therefore not 100.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 hours ago

Do you think I was serious lol

77+33=100 is an Internet joke

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago

either that or 1010

110 is nonsense

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

Wrong it's 100

99 ÷ 2 = 92 though, right?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 17 hours ago

Found the OSRS player.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 18 hours ago

But is 250 + 25

Lmao I lost my shit at this

[–] [email protected] 4 points 16 hours ago

Weird how one answer gets more upvotes

[–] [email protected] 26 points 20 hours ago (4 children)

Let's double check

225 x 2

Solve for x

[–] [email protected] 52 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Answer: X = Formerly Twitter

[–] [email protected] 13 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

So it's value is essentially zero?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 15 hours ago

So… 22502 is the solution!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 19 hours ago

Let's put 2 on the other side.

225 x 2

Now 2 wears 225 as a hat. Which means x is kinda funny.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

Lefthand side is empty, "empty" is not a number, hence x is NaN as well.

Sniff sniff, yup this one has nuts in it.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I think it’s because if you take the numbers individually, 225 looks like it would be half of 550 because 25 is half of 50.

But in actuality, half of 550 is 275.

I don’t know where you got your doctor from mister but it certainly isn’t in mathematics. The post is making fun of people like you defying the laws of basic calculus.

Don't staunch your heavy heart. It's okay to feel things, it won't make you week. Cry if you want to it will be okay.

I finally have a reason to use my weeks of accumulated sick leave.
