I don’t understand why it’s upsetting:
500 ÷ 2 = 250
50 ÷ 2 = 25
250 + 25 = 275

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
I see you doing incorrect math I have to downvote
The person who decided of this should be fired. Same for 77+33
Why?
77 + 3 = 80
80 + 30 = 110
77+33 must be 100.
Proof: 7+3 = 10, so 77+33 = 100
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.
Do you think I was serious lol
77+33=100 is an Internet joke
either that or 1010
110 is nonsense
Wrong it's 100
Sniff sniff, yup this one has nuts in it.
But is 250 + 25
99 ÷ 2 = 92 though, right?
Found the OSRS player.
Let's double check
225 x 2
Solve for x
Answer: X = Formerly Twitter
So it's value is essentially zero?
So… 22502 is the solution!
Let's put 2 on the other side.
225 x 2
Now 2 wears 225 as a hat. Which means x is kinda funny.
Lefthand side is empty, "empty" is not a number, hence x is NaN as well.
No
it's 450
Yes, 550÷2=450
Lmao I lost my shit at this
Weird how one answer gets more upvotes
I don’t get it.
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.
That's not very upsetting
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.
