What’s 230 - 430 x 1/2?

If you use your calculator, you get 230 - 220, i.e. 10, times 1/2 (divided by 2), which is 5. The correct answer however would be 230 - (220 times 1/2) = 230 - 110 = 120.

I thought that was it but math memes that don't end in 8008 or 80085 didn't seem normal for this thread.

If I use my calculator I get the correct answer because it's a good calculator.

ANY GOOD OPINIONS THIS POSTER CLAIMS TO HAVE ARE JUST PROOF THAT BULLYING WORKS
Young Orc

does anyone have the one with apples and bananas, it was something like (a + b)/(b + c) + (b + c)/(a + c) = (a + c)/(b + a)

and it looks like you should be able to algebra an answer but the actual answer has 100-digit answers

I don't have the picture but I do have the stackoverflow page that solves the Diophantine equation a/(b+c)+b/(a+c)+c/(a+b)=4 which is the latest iteration of that picture I've seen

...and obviously has the minimal solution

See? Science proves the JewsMuslims are inferior and must be purged! I'm not a racist, honest!

Ok, I know, I know, I KNOW, but it REALLY bothers me that people think the "SKINN-ERRRRR" yell is part of the steamed hams story. It's part of the intro. He doesn't walk into the kitchen and yell SKINNERRRRR, he walked in and goes "hyeumph?!" and then, IN THE MIDST, they play the intro song, whose "stinger", if you will, to use a, heh, musical term, is the yell. IS THE loving,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, YELL!
