Arivia posted:Alright I’ll bite. I think it’s 104 according to BEDMAS (apparently the term is different in different countries, that’s what we called it in Canada and Jerry Cotton or Tiggum can strike at any point) - multiplication is the highest order operation, so that’s 25 * 0 = 0. then you have the real big brains saying stuff like this https://twitter.com/soniabsuffolk/status/1444032626273226754 which is only possible if you're going left-to-right and also pretending that 'x 0' just doesn't mean anything at all LazyMaybe has a new favorite as of 11:24 on Oct 2, 2021 |

OwlFancier posted:I mean it doesn't "in reality" because the concept of multiplying by zero does not correlate with any real phenomenon, it is a purely mathematical construction. You can have X amount of things and add or subtract Y amounts, and you can have X sets of Y things or desire to separate X things into Y piles, but multiplying by zero does indeed not make much sense in "reality" https://twitter.com/gordoncraig11/status/1444177446178332681 "multiplied by 0" is absolutely a concept that applies to reality, and in fact does so very often flavor.flv posted:It shouldn't, but take the equation The way I was taught to interpret PEMDAS(and the way it's been taught for a long time) is that, once you do the (2+2) and are left with 8/2(4) You now do all the multiplication and division from left to right, including the 2(4), resulting in 16. The only way you wouldn't is if you multiply the 2(4) first, but why would you? The only way is if you erroneously believe that multiplying a number by an adjacent bracketed number should be done before 'normal' multiplication/division, but PEMDAS doesn't tell you to do that any more than BEDMAS does.   Both PEMDAS and BEDMAS put division and multiplication on the same level, and then you go from left to right. They're just phrased slightly differently.

OwlFancier posted:I think this is rather more easily rendered as "money has not changed hands" which is how people would have conceptualized it for a long time before the invention of the concept of mathematical zero. You need that concept to already exist before you would ever think about it that way. Or like the earlier quoted example, if 5 of my coworkers bring 2 tools, and 5 don't, that's 5 * 2 + 5 * 0 = 10 there are many many obvious examples of multiplying by zero applying to real life. the concept did not arise from nowhere, like all math it exists to describe things that occur in reality.

OwlFancier posted:Observationally however you have no fish, and you have never had any fish, and there isn't any difference between having 5x0 fish, 1x0 fish, and just not having fish. Fishn't. alternatively maybe you spent 2 hours getting no fish and then another 2 hours getting 2 fish per hour. 2 * 0 + 2 * 2. mathematical 0 has existed for thousands of years, especially in economic contexts. ancient egyptians were using a symbol for 0 in accounting as early as 1770 BC. I mean of course it hasn't existed for literally all of human history in all contexts but it's been around for an extremely long time and is very evidently useful, especially once money(or even just complex bartering) exist so I don't really understand what your point is aside from pretending that multiplying by zero doesn't correlate to reality which is just demonstrably false

it's fair to say that's it's conceptual and more easily forgotten when out of practice than other common math stuff, but that's not the same as "does not correlate with any real phenomenon" when money is very much real

Phyzzle posted:So it should be PE{MD}{AS} where Braces mean the operations inside have the same priority, or "BMOIHSP". But really you shouldn't make either of those changes because you're making it clunky to say, and it's meant to be an easy to remember mnemonic that reminds you of the rules you learned in primary school. It's not meant to carry all the complexity of order of operations in just the series of letters, it wouldn't be catchy if it did and then it wouldn't do its job.

as much as I hate the game, there's no real case for other m not being canon. because all canon is in this context is "the creators consider them part of the official universe", and they do, out of character behavior and small plot nitpicks aside. that's also why you shouldn't care at all whether anything is "canon" or not in basically any context though

kirbysuperstar posted:Other M is part of the timeline pictures at the end of Dread (while the Prime series isn't) depending on your item percentage, take that as you will. The reason Other M is in the timeline at the end of dread and Prime isn't is because that timeline is just the mainline Metroid series. Aka, Metroid 1 to 5, and Other M is essentially Metroid 3.5 and slots right in there between Super and Fusion. Stuff like the manga and non-mainline metroid games(like hunters, federation force, prime) aren't included because they're side games and that list just isn't trying to show a full comprehensive timeline of all Metroid media(despite how much everyone likes prime) but they're still all canon(despite how much everyone dislikes federation force). A full timeline would look more like this, the timeline shown in dread just being that top main series. Cleretic posted:For example, it claims that the Space Pirates are basically wild animals without a Mother Brain to control them like a hive mind; since Super Metroid involves the Space Pirates working independently to rebuild their Zebes base, that means that Other M declares Super Metroid at least partially non-canon. In fact, they made it more clear later that those cyborg zebesians are not like the normal ones that are intelligent, in a smash bros. trophy description of all places:  tl;dr: canon is a mostly meaningless approval stamp that you basically shouldn't think about at all LazyMaybe has a new favorite as of 11:40 on Oct 19, 2021 |
