Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

Rules
- Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
- Keep it rooted (on topic).
- No spam.
- Infographics welcome, get schooled.
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

You think 2(8)^2^ is 128 if that's simplified from 2(8+0)^2^... but 256 if it's simplified from 2(8*1)^2^. In short: no.
I think you're about fifteen years old. You had an unpleasant teacher who belittled you, and you've identified with the aggressor. Your whole online persona is posturing to always be smarterer than everybody else, even if that means saying Wolfram fucking Alpha is wrong about basic algebra.
Faced with a contradiction that requires you to insist (8*1) ≠ (8+0), you're going to type laughter and spam emojis as if that inspires any reaction besides pity. The word you should be looking for is, "oops."
