Genuinely I think they are. Their weird pseudo-anti-capitalism actually just strikes me as anti-modernism. The bourgeois are too woke for them they want to go back the feudal production run by an aristocracy.
Oh yeah? Well if PEMDAS isn't woke then why are pronouns put in PARENTHESES, the number of illegal immigrants is always EXPONENTIALLY increasing, the number of genders keeps MULTIPLYING, traditional family units are DIVIDED, they're ADDING homosexual ideology to schools whole SUBTRACTING God?!
I kind of hate PEMDAS because multiplication and division are the same thing (division is multiplication by the reciprocal) and addition and subtraction are the same thing (subtraction is addition of the negation). moreover, multiplication and addition are commutative with themselves. so it should really be PEMA. lastly, if it's fucking ambiguous in any way, don't write it that way. just use parentheses. the notation that puts divisors in the denominator completely disambiguates everything.
just learn what associativity, commutativity, and the distribution law are in the first place and you'll understand why something like PEMDAS exists. it's a notational trick to make it clear where those laws can be applied. when you leave the realm of numbers, some or all of these laws will stop applying and you need to still learn how to calculate the answer. matrices don't have commutative multiplication and if it won't associate, stop and find a different way to solve a different way to solve your problem because nope nope nope nope (fucking programmers breaking associativity in binary operations because "math is hard" - no bitch, what's hard is trying to work out what the hell your operation does).
in summary, PEMDAS is liberalism and fuck javascript.
We were taught PEMDAS as parentheses, exponentiation, multiplication OR division, addition OR subtraction. I don't know if it was changed at some point but I don't know anyone who was taught that multiplication comes before divison
This is literally a boomer Facebook meme. Someone would post it and they would all do the math in diffrent ways and get diffrent wrong answers because they have been out of school long enough to forget it
At least those ones spark a mildly interesting conversation about implicit multiplication and why we have the order of operations. Ian's version is just silly and rather sad
We all learned it. We have all forgotten plenty of thr stuff we haven't kept up practicing. It is their unwillingness to accept that they could be wrong and lead posion lack of creative thinking that is the mind killer here
This is a setup for some sort of "liberal media can't even tell I'm joking and that's why you should only trust articles written by me" sort of nonsense
The Apple calculator sucks because it has fucking ads. Nothing worse than doing a quick calculation and having to wait 15 seconds for some mobile game ad to finish.
My phone calculator PEDMAS'd me in a weird way where I added two things together, hit equal, got the result and then divided it by two and it went back and redid my whole equation and fave me the wrong answer. I had to remember my sum, hit clear, re-enter and the divide and that was dumb. If I hit equal then that sum.shoild be Carter Blanche to divide withoutneorying about order of operations cause I accounted for that already and inputted it to work around that.
