lol are legitimately saying this was not a joke?

Parenthesis consists of only two symbols that only require two keyboard keys and a single stroke of a pen to write compared to the four keys and varying strokes of the standard operators

The humble ( ), however, is very easy to see, and it creates neat little windows that don’t leave much room for misinterpretation.

2*7²+5*3³ = accessibility nightmare

(2(7²))+(5(3³)) = readable with clearly defined order of operations

I mean, I guess I have no reason to doubt your word so I’ll just believe you were being serious and respond in kind.

Time savings you might gain from parentheses being easier to write and requiring less keystrokes is lost on you needing to use twice as many since they come in pairs.

Furthermore, with the exception of *, which we don’t even write most of the time, you still need to use all of the other operators even with parentheses, so using them everywhere isn’t even a trade off, it’s a net loss. This also means that parentheses will not help you differentiate between the operators because you’ll still be using them.

Finally, the only reason you find the example I gave easier to read with parentheses is because I used a lot of multiplication, but you have multiplication to thank for that, not parentheses. In most cases, it would have fairly simple expressions like this:

1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8

turned into this:

1+(2+(3+(4+(5+(6+(7+(8))))))

If you truly want to eliminate ambiguity, have a look at reverse polish notation. I find it confusing as hell but some people like it.

Oh, you’re trolling. Carry on, then.

Following your logic,

2*7²+5*3³ becomes (2(7²))+(5(3³))

Talk about inefficient waste of time.

You do realize your “You’re communicating badly” attitude is the only smugness happening here, right?

“Oh, you encounter a desert. There’s nothing around for miles”

Source for the lazy. It’s actually pretty cool.

I think people don’t know a torus is hollow.

Yeah… I’m gonna need a detailed breakdown of the rationale you followed to get from “she called Dr. Pepper coke” to “she’s flirting with me”, if you don’t mind.

This sums up about 97% of Greek mythology.

Bratislava’s barely visible pedestrian crossings also tripped me the fuck out when I was there but then I realized you can actually cross wherever it’s convenient because drivers are not out to kill you.

You’re right but you’re underestimating the amount of people who are halfway there.

Are you asking me to?

One time, at a party in my house, a guy chugged his bear and then immediately started Macgyvering a pipe with the can. I was like “oh, been a while since I’ve seen anyone do that. Should I just get him some rolling paper?”. And then he put meth on the can.

I just broke my arm in 4 pieces because I had to dodge a moron who decided to suddenly park on the bus/bike lane IN A FUCKING TUNNEL

My point isn’t that they weren’t an empire, it’s that they weren’t Aztecs. The name Aztecs was given to them due to… drum roll… European Hegemony.

Friendly reminder that there was no Aztec Empire.

Palworld. Just finished Legends Arceus and Legends ZA is too far from being released so I wanted something to scratch the “pokemon but it doesn’t suck” itch.

I’d say it’s one of the best defeats in Roman history.

Also, weren’t they in different continents and millions of years apart?

You literally punch things and they drop stuff. It may not seem like much but kids at that age are very susceptible. There’s a reason why psychologists started getting involved in children entertainment.
