?
There was a viral video from like 2015 or so (I think it was a Vine) where a guy asks a kid, “what’s 10 plus 9?” The kid looks up and immediately says “21!” to which the original person replies, “ya stupid”.
I don’t think it actually has anything to do with the image, just a post ironic shit post.
It originally referred to a particular calculator glitch, when using octal mode, which is base 8. Only digits 0 through 7 are supposed to work in octal.
But there was at least one model calculator out there that would still allow you to type in the digits 8 and 9 in octal mode, though those digits should have been ignored and disabled in that mode.
9 in base 10 converts to 11 in base 8, which the calculator automatically does in the background before performing the calculation, so the calculator actually ends up calculating 11 + 10 = 21, which in base 8 is actually correct.
Now how that got misconstrued into memes such as this one, I’ll never know. 🤷♂️
Thats also a nice explanation but i think its probably intended to be referencing the video papalonian mentioned.
Oof, kid being raised in an abusive manner.
“You stupid”, " no I’m not!“, “What’s 9 + 10”, " 21!”, “you stupid.”
Yeah I’m lost
what’s the original text on the comic
here it’s not exactly the most gripping commentary but there it is https://www.latimes.com/opinion/topoftheticket/la-na-tt-bernie-fans-20160726-snap-story.html
Or images that are too cropped.
hm?
Responded to the wrong comment. But my complaint stands, the image is too cropped.
ah. that’s likely done intentionally for comedic purposes but i pulled this exactly as i found it. :)
Why is this even downvoted.
people don’t like posts that they don’t understand or posts that challenge them
Hooray Blackjack!
