CWed for length. "Viral Math Problem?" 

So, I tend to watch Youtube before I go to sleep and I often watch various videos on STEM topics. I also (As you can see) am a fan of gaming videos.

However, that's not the point here.

In what fucking world is 6/2(1+2) a VIRAL math problem? That's *simple fucking math*. Did no one learn the order of operations? Am I stupid here? We got the 1+2=3, 6/2=3, 3*3=9. Nine. The answer is Nine.

I had to watch it to make sure I wasn't stroking out. That there wasn't some deeper aspect to the question.

There is. Apparently the order of operations and current convention on math has changed since 1917. However, the crux of it seems that some people just don't understand how equations are formatted in modern mathematics.

That is Sabah. When I left the US I left him with my sister. I knew I couldn't give him a good life with how hectic immigration is. For many years he has been happy and loved by my sister's kids and my sister herself. Today he was put to sleep because of cancer. He is a good boy, and I'm sorry I couldn't be there for him. I'll miss you Sabah, thank you so much for looking after my niece, nephew, and sister all these years.

We also enjoy the activities of breathing and walking on our leg.
