    Every time I see something like this, the comments remind me that common core mathematics is a thing and it makes me sad.

      Seriously, why is basic arithmetic worthy of so much discussion?

      Just… do the math. It’s not complicated math.

        I sometimes feel bad about myself cause I didn’t get very far into calculus, but then I remember that the average adult has no idea how fractions work.
