8รท2(2+2) comes out to 16, not 1.

Saw it posted on Instagram or Facebook or somewhere and all of the top comments were saying 1. Any comment saying 16 had tons of comments ironically telling that person to go back to first grade and calling them stupid.

No, 2+2 = ๐ŸŸ so it would be 8รท2๐ŸŸ and since ๐ŸŸ is no longer a number it becomes 4๐ŸŸ. So the answer is 4 fishes.

since ๐ŸŸ is no longer a number

It's still a pronumeral though, equal to 4, so the answer is still 8รท8=1.
