Since that horrid dog pagebreak, this thread has gone all kinds of great.

Um, actually both are grammatically correct and, if you fudge it, mathematically correct.

2 + 2 is 5 is correct because you are saying "This equation is equal to this answer." thus it is singular and is is appropriate.
2 + 2 are 5 is correct because you are saying "2 units and 2 units are 5 units." thus it is plural and are is appropriate.

For sufficiently large values of 2, this sort of evaluates correctly, that is to say 2.49 + 2.49 = 4.98 which, if you round, is the same as 2 + 2 = 5. Of course, this is a very inappropriate use of rounding (and thus also incorrect) but the point remains.

This got me excited in a bad way. Like in a "I won't admit Josh Groban does that for me" way. (Oh hell, I think I just admitted it)

I love Maths.

So a + b = t walk into a bar

The barman says
(a + b)(a - b) = t(a - b)

And so
a^2 - b^2 = ta - tb
a^2 - ta = b^2 - tb
a^2 - ta + (t^2)/4 = b^2 - tb + (t^2)/4
(a - t/2)^2 = (b - t/2)^2
a - t/2 = b - t/2
a = b

As A^2 = AB the second line from the bottom reads 0=0.

This again is fine as a=b solves the initial equation as 0 does indeed equal 0 and so you get t = 2a.
Be careful with a^2 = b^2 because it also gives the answer a = -b which gives an even more boring answer of a = b = 0 so t = 0.

Ozymandias · « **Reply #4269 on:** 12 Feb 2010, 14:06 »

If A = B then A^2 - AB = 0 and thus the final step is mathematically impossible (division by zero oh no seg fauuuult).

MOTHERFUCKING Edison's doesn't quite work because the second to last part should be (+/-)(a - t/2) = (+/-)(b - t/2)

I love those mathematical "disproofs" because there's always a really obvious flaw (dividing by zero, magically going from 2nd degree to 1st, etc.). And when I find it, I feel all superior for a few minutes. Makes my day.

I think the implication is

Quote from: hipsterrunoff

Does this give people with disabilities ~~have~~ a greater opportunity 4 self-expression + personal branding than they had before?

but maybe I'm reading too sympathetically.

That said, I am sympathetic because I am a wearer of hearing aids, specifically this, which is one of the lowest-profile aids of its quality on the market:

The idea of public interest in fashionable hearing aids actually really appeals to me. I'm not into lobe stretching, per se, but it seems like public awareness/acceptance of deafness and hearing aids as more than just an old people's thing can only be good.

Essentially the thing with HRO is that it's a meta-satire. If you get what looks like the joke then the real joke is on you. So by taking it seriously you've not gotten the joke, and been spared the supposed shame of being a hipster. Super irony.

Of course the shamelessness of the people who get the joke pretty much negates the joke. They're just really irritating people.

i got that it was a joke, I'm biased against that in a "HATE YOU HATE YOU I HATE THAT YOU TEXT TYPE HATE HATE HATE LOOK AT ME CHUGGING DOWN THIS HATERADE". I get that the typing is part of the joke too, but it always turns me into a frothing ball of rage. Always. Plus, there probably are people who are serious about that and I think of them and I get really big and turn green.
