I do hope it's a "when", cause it should be alarmingly clear to everyone who isn't a rich arsehole that being in the EU was to our collective benefit...
Having said that, if it took crippling our economy for people to learn that lesson, then we're fucked on everything else steadily coming our way (i.e. climate change)
Damn - Why does everything have to become a hustle or business opportunity? Why couldn't a wholesome accidental friendship just stay that way?
God I hate the influence hustle culture has had on the internet.
God do I wish the UK was still part of the EU - cause then we'd be governed by at least some people with an actual backbone to speak of, rather than the corrupt Tories that racist dickheads keep voting in over and over
Not exactly, I think @PugJesus (brilliant username and pic BTW) means that "a spicy X" can mean a lot of different things dependent on what word "X" is
In a market that expects infinite growth in a finite reality, I can assure you that I'm not the least bit surprised that companies are using "inflation" as an excuse to gouge their customers for what increasingly little they have
The fucked up part is that barely a decade after his death - thanks to the efforts of Louis Pasteur - Semmelweis's work went from so controversial they condemned him to his death, to becoming the basis for the field of aseptics
Pretty much. While it's worth knowing that not everyone agrees on how implicit multiplication is prioritised, anywhere that everyone agreeing on the answer actually mattered, you wouldn't write an equation as ambiguous as this one in the first place
The meme refers to the problem of handling implicit multiplication by juxtaposition.
Depending on what field you're in, implicit multiplication takes priority over explicit multiplication/division (known as strong juxtaposition) rather than what you and a lot of people would assume (known as weak juxtaposition).
With weak juxtaposition you end up 9 just as you did, but with strong juxtaposition you end up with 1 instead.
For most people and most scenarios this doesn't matter, as you'd never encounter such ambiguous equations outside of viral puzzles like this, but it is worth knowing that not all fields agree on how implicit multiplication is handled.
I'll just say it again, you're the one saying this problem is completely unambiguous, with your only explanation as to why being that real people communicate as though that solves every edge case imaginable.
I'm just saying, if you really believe that to be the case, Good luck.
