Do you remember how this reply thread started? I literally fixed the equation so that it would be less confusing to people, I couldn’t do that if I didn’t know what order it was meant to go in…
I’m just not assuming that people are stupid because they got tripped up by something designed to trip them up.
It’s writing like this with math, you can find the sentence structure, but it makes it a puzzle people will mess up unnecessarily 
Because this it’s trivial to write it in a way that won’t cause this confusion and yet every 3 months or so someone posts another one of these gotcha no context given equations and we as the internet have this same discussion again and again. It’s bait…
it’s mean in that they intentionally wrote it to trip people up so we’d have this very conversion…
This was literally written for twitter content…
The operational order is fucked, the way I rewrote is more readable, even if you remember the order. The only reason you’d write the equation like that is to be mean, there’s no reason to write it like that unless you’re trying to trip people up.
No, it’s written poorly to drive engagement. People read left to right and try to do math that way too, but if you want to be mean to people who don’t remember things they learned in elementary school then never applied in real life you write it like OP.

Far easier for most people, but then you don’t get the arguments…
It is different, but it’s still incredibly cheap to make, $4 a vial, so it costing in the hundreds is just antihuman…
I think takes like this are funny because it’s like you don’t even realize that it will never happen, not even because of corporations trying to drain any property of every iota of value (which they definitely are), but because we as a species love retelling the same stories.
I guarantee you there is someone sitting at their keyboard right now remaking Gilgamesh.
I agree with you in premise, there is a general trend to over lore in modern sci-fi. Things can’t just be, they need some specific explanation.
This though, I didn’t hate. It’s always bothered me that aliens in sci-fi are just humans with shit on their face, their cultures are just aspects of our culture turned to the extreme, and every species’ technology is around the same level.
Having a progenitor species that seeded the galaxy and that’s why every intelligent species is basically the same is fine, basic but you know at least it makes sense and doesn’t need to come up again.
Why are they the same, because a wizard did it essentially.
This planet is 100% magical, we’ve just let capitalists divide it up into tiny preserves for their own pleasure.
It deters me lol
Cut him off based on philosophy?
it’s not philosophy it’s ideology and personally my answer is yes. I spent my 20s hanging out with white people who openly though i was “one of the good ones” i’m so beyond over it. I’d rather have no friends than friends who I need to apologize for. Like what am i learning about my views? that I’ve surrounded myself racist assholes?
I’m not saying your wrong, or really trying to make an argument, but the book “bowling alone” came out in 2000 and it was describing the fall into social isolation and alienation before social media or the balkanization of news and entertainment. To go further back Marx was talking about the alienation of labor as far back as 1844. Like capitalism is killing us, the increased view/reach of technology is just making it obvious.
I voted bud, just not for Harris. I.don’t.vote.for.republicans.
If national democrats want to platform all the pre 2016 republican policies, I will not vote for them.
Lots of down ballot stuff, so take your win.
The democrats are incapable of solving those problems…
I don’t vote for republicans… If you pander to and platform republicans, I will not vote for you. If you plan to put a republican in your cabinet, I will not vote for you. If your immigration plan is just the republican plan from 8 years ago, i will not vote for you. If you insist that I must support genocide otherwise there will be more genocide, I will not vote for you…
Yeah I’ve unsubscribed, his beef with Billy Mitchel and shift to a more cheater focus has just become too repetitive. I liked his enthusiasm for describing people achieve records, but I don’t really care to deep dive cheaters really. They suck and the sooner we scratch them from the record and move on the better. They don’t deserve attention.
It gets protection from large things while getting all the free tiny bugs it can eat, it’s a great deal.
yeah, rats.
we’ve generally solved the rat problem, but that was the initial pitch, then their cute faces hypnotized us.
Those sentence are also perfectly understandable, once you’ve understood the order of the words, but they’re written in such away that you have to think about it.
If there are multiple ways to do things and one is more accessible to most people with less effort that isn’t the objectively right way but it is better.
It’s obviously not just myself as posting out of order math problems are a constant source of online engagement.
