NYC Data Stories: Allyship

[traitortothecapital]

For when people say they’re sick of seeing gay stuff everywhere. Suck it up. 4 years. 4 years. And that’s just on the books, it’s legal. It doesn’t stop shitty attitudes, actions, or straight up violence.

[aphony-cree]

4 years only covers being legally allowed to exist and marry

There are still 17 states that have no workplace protection for LGBT+ employees, and 10 state that only have protection if you’re a government employee. That means over half of the states in the U.S. still legally allow LGBT+ discrimination at almost every workplace

You can legally get married in those states and the next day you could legally be fired

The answer is 1, why is everyone a delinquent?

[pernoninnoobz]

Y'all please, learn your pemdas (or bodmas or whatever you learned it as)

It's 16

[celtic-pyro-deactivated20230725]

*sigh*

Parentheses equation is 2+2, which is 4.

Now we multiply by 2 to get 4x2 which is 8

8 DIVIDED BY 8 is 1.

I have no fucking clue how you can get 16 out of this. I don’t think you’re bad at math, I think you just need glasses.

[vaporwavevocap]

It’s 1.

[agonizedalligator]

It’s 16.

8 / 2 * (2+2) = 

8/2 * (4) = 

4*4 = 16

You do the parentheses, then you go left to right.

[vaporwavevocap]

That isn’t how this works.....

PEMDAS

8/2*(2+2) (P = Parentheses)

8/2*(4) (M = Multiply)

8/8=1 (D = Division)

@kingoftartesoss​

Use Mathpapa calculator if you still don’t believe me.

[jooshthepunished-deactivated202]

No, Riley.

M isn't in the original problem but 8÷2 still needs a resolution. You have to solve 8÷2 as-is after (2+2) no matter what.

So you're not following PEMDAS by factoring x4 into 8÷2.

It's literally this simple.

[vivairi-deactivated20190813]

I, uh, I think it’s 1, actually.

[robert-the-redhead-lover-deacti]

Plug it into a searchbar, or a scientific calculator that waits until the whole thing is input & that's the answer.

[dangerbooze]

1

[robert-the-redhead-lover-deacti]

No need.

[dangerbooze]

Everyone on this post:

[babycharmander]

@nonanalogue can you solve this for us because I swear to goodness the answer is 1 but this post is making me doubt my brains

[theinsidiousdice]

Happily!

So the problem is two-fold: first, order of operations as most people are taught it is a lie, and second, the original problem is written very ambiguously.

Let’s drill down into that first point.

PEMDAS! Parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction. Everyone’s taught to do operations in that order! Except that’s not really right. As a math teacher of mine put it, “it works for now, but you’ll find out I was lying in a few years.”

The problem is that multiplication and division are the same operation, and addition and subtraction are also the same operation. Division is really just multiplying by a fraction, and subtraction is just adding a negative. With that in mind, it doesn’t necessarily make sense to do some multiplication arbitrarily early in the problem before the rest! As a result, here’s the bottom line for that point:

Both 1 and 16 are right.

How can that be?

Well, that brings me to the second point: the expression is written very ambiguously, so as to maximize confusion! It’s also why I don’t like using the division symbol when a fraction will do just nicely.

Observe two other ways we could write this expression:

The first one resolves to 8/8, which is 1. The second resolves to 4(4), which is 16. Both are right, only because the original expression is vague.

The sad thing is that everyone hates fractions, when actually they make life so much nicer!

[yourlocalcookiemonster-deactiva]

It's fucking 1

[dracoexmachina]

uh, 16

The final battle

[laureninlilly]

So my Dad and brother took separate cars to dinner tonight, and this happened.

[bowlingforwhoop]

they look like they are arguing about who is going to go home and change

[laureninlilly]

Oh, they were.

Jake: You’ve got to be kidding me Dad: You SAW me walk through the kitchen on my way to pick up your sister! Jake: No seriously do you have an extra shirt in your car this is ridiculous

[laureninlilly]

Oh my god they’re gonna kill me they didn’t want to even walk into the restaurant together let alone have this many people reblog this photo

[laureninlilly]

Honestly I’m not deleting my Tumblr solely in the hopes that this post one day hits 1 million notes

[words4bloghere]

OP I need to know the birth order because this SCREAMS chaotic middle child energy

movie critics don’t get to review detective pikachu if they don’t like pokemon, like it’s not for you?? stop calling it nonsensical and bizarre because everyone i know who grew up with pokemon got so emotional at the atmosphere of ryme city and that’s what matters

[knife-to-see-you]

my SO has never seen anything pokemon related in their life and loved detective pikachu and this is a person who’s favorite stories are purely rooted in true life stories
