My education system didn’t fail me, I failed it.
Damn, its always the simple math problem post with like, almost 700 comments lmao

are you THAT lazy

Fuck everyone else I thought this was funny
Me too! I had only scorn for the initial comment, but this response was perfect
Computer please tell me I’m right
asks ai if using ai is good
ai says using ai is goodwhat a fucking surprise
You need to actually use your brain
Its like a muscle and if you don’t use muscles they acclimate to the lack of use
So you’re the guy that asked chat GPT if you could enter Chile without a passport, said yes, come to Chile and had to go back because you actually needed a passport huh?.
It surprises me the amount of people who just “outsource” their intelligence to a fking chatbot and then proceed their way in life taking moronic decisions all over, a reminder AI companies depend on people being too lazy to think to be able to sell their products.

Coal rolling, but for IT-literate.
Funny, tell that to the billionaires who have a private jet.
I am. I’m also telling you.
are you dumb?
I may very well be, still researching.
kek
why would you post a screenshot of an AI chatbot attempting to do math?
OMG! That’s the first time I’ve actually seen AI get order of operations right! 😂
My dumbahh did 2+5 like it was in parentheses and got 21
Something funny about everyone being so eager to show how they can solve this
This is an antimeme
the answer is [Answer]
2+5 is 8, 8-5 is 3. 8×3 is 24.
Let’s not do engagement bait here 😭
Or it simply could be that I haven’t needed to concern myself with the order of operations more than a dozen times since high school. Even when working as a web coder it was so seldom necessary that I can’t recall a single example.
The US education system was still pretty decent when I was in middle and high school in the 1980s, so we definitely covered this in algebra.
The high-and-mightiness quotient in this thread is reaching critical levels
2+5(8-5)
For anyone wanting to see a different way of solving it with distribution:
2+58-55 2+40-25 42-25 17
So long as you follow the basic math rules, you can solve it in many different ways to get the same result.
Precedences are just made up social constructs, don’t let the system restrict you, you can evaluate this expression however you want. Go wild.
Any PEMDAS enjoyers in chat?
Was anyone else ever taught it as BOMDAS as opposed to BODMAS?
There’s no difference.
Addition and subtraction are the same operation, multiplication and division are the same operation.
So:
BO(MD)(AS) == BO(DM)(AS)
EDIT: in order to stop confusing people, it should just be: BOMA.
multiplication and division are the same operation
No they’re not, but they are both binary operators.

Leaving out D and S confuses people about where to do them in the order. It’s intended to be used as a checklist
You already said that to me. I replied here.
You already said that to me
And you’re still ignoring it
What do you mean? I replied to it…

Where you, yet again, ignored that I told you what you said is wrong, as per Maths textbooks
Was anyone else ever taught it as BOMDAS as opposed to BODMAS?
I don’t think so, and I’ve seen Maths textbooks from all over the world. Only the U.S. wants to reverse the order of DM from everyone else’s acronym. 🙄
Its BODMAS for maths and BOMDAS for twerking.
Easy mistake to make given the amount of maths involved in dancing.
It was BEDMAS for us, where the E was exponents or something.
Found the Canadian

Nope, it’s the same in Australia and the U.K.
Sorry, found the Commonwealther

Or more precisely, the non-USer 😜
Okay, sorry, found the person from a sane country 😂
I was taught only Brackets Division Subtraction Multiplication at the local dungeon.
(I still have the student loans to prove it.)
PEMDAS, is that the same as BOMDAS?
BOMDAS deez nuts or something
I think so. Amazing how many different ways there are to say it
So instead of Parentheses, Exponents is it Box and O that digit in the sky?
Brackets and Orders, not that anybody calls “(” a bracket or “^” an “order”.
Brackets and Orders, not that anybody calls “(” a bracket or “^” an “order”.
It’s “to the order of” actually. 2² is 2 to the order of 2
not that anybody calls “(” a bracket
Yes we do. They’re ALL Brackets - square, round, squiggly…
They’re all just different mnemonics for the same rules.
Why do people put bot pairs of multiplication and division, and addition and subtraction on the acronym?
Do you really follow that order with the associative operations?
do you think i know what an associative operation is?

Yep
Yeah, I was taught BOMDAS here in Australia.
I was taught BODMAS in Australia
BODMAS (or BEDMAS), not BOMDAS. (unless they did that in some random state). I’m an Australian Maths teacher
Or it was some random teacher. Or it was more than fifteen years ago. I dunno, it was just what I was taught.
Or it was some random teacher
Yeah, maybe. My Year 7 students, who have come fresh to me from Year 6, use BEDMAS, and I teach BEDMAS for consistency (I also think it’s a better acronym anyway - think of a massive 4-poster bed to ingrain the idea of BED-MAS)…
