Re: Facebook pet peeve (this one in particular)

You get 50 using PEMDAS like most people who passed elementary school would be able to do.
You get 56 going left to right and just following the operations one by one.

What concerns me is how people get answers that aren't even one of those two. What the hell are you even doing bro???

I keep all friends on my feed until they post something stupid. If I see someone post dumbshit posts like that on facebook I just click hide story -> change what updates you want to see from this person -> unfollow.

My feed is surprisingly clean..

The ones that really rustle my jimmies are the ones where it's like

WHAT IS 48÷2(9+3)?

and then you'll get half the crowd going "IT'S 2 LOL PRAISE JESUS" and the other half going "YOU MORONS IT'S 288! PEMDAS MOTHERFUCKER DO YOU SPEAK IT" when really the answer is "AMBIGUOUS STATEMENT FUCK"

Although these are all dumb I think the dumbest thing, and personally my biggest pet peeve on facebook, is when people hashtag shit.....Like it 100% does NOTHING, except make you look like an idiot.

Re: Facebook pet peeve (this one in particular)

The analogy I always use is as follows:

What does it mean when someone says "I could care less?"

Well, if we take it literally, then clearly that person cares at a level that is greater than the level at which they could be caring. If we take its intended context due to how often it gets abused, it could mean the exact opposite: They're at the lowest level of possible care and therefore could not go any lower.

So are we going to argue that it's definition 1 based on literal interpretation (representing the analogy to PEMDAS) or by a possible other interpretation based on unconventional usage (representing the analogy to the odd use of division symbol next to a multiplication-by-juxaposition which is almost never used in conjunction).

The answer is anyone's best guess. The central idea is that if you meant it one way, you write it in a way that is consistent and unambiguous based on agreed convention. If you meant it another way, then you write it that way instead.

Halp. I've been stuck for 5 minutes on a word puzzle and I'm either not perspicacious enough to reflect on my own or I am too lethargic to open my browser and search for an answer online so I will post it on Facebook and wait 5 more minutes on Facebook for something that could have been solved way earlier.

-Uncle Sam's Misguided Children
-Support our troops or get the f-k out

Fuck those pages. Being in the south, I've got a few people on my friends list reposting shit from these pages, and it's some pretty bassackwards shit.

On the other hand, there are some pretty cool pages, like "I fucking love science".

Hash tagging is supposed to be used for Twitter "ONLY" (which by the way, I will just say that twitter has to be one of the dumbest, most pointless sites on the planet!) but back to the hash tag, it supposedly makes your "followers" able to search or see your tweets. (man it makes me pissed off just describing how retarded twitter is)

Re: Facebook pet peeve (this one in particular)

I actually tend to dislike it when people always post/share stuff from "i fucking love science" because, well, you know

so... throw in a bunch of parentheses? that's def unambiguous
