So I recently came across someone stating that this DJ I like listening to was unoriginal and copying Monster Cat with his Equalizer. First off, he works along side Monster Cat on several occasions, but that's beside the point. Myself being a classy gentlemen pointed out that several other users on YouTube use and equalizer and named a few as an example. His utterly rude response? "You said several! That's only four!" ...Well thank you for knowing how to count. I'm done feeding the troll but still, that makes me curious. How many times have you heard someone you're arguing or debating with counter your statement with something completely absurd you can't see why they think it's a good counter? This doesn't really mean cases like mine, I'm sure we've all had a run-in with the stupid troll. I'm talking actual debates and such on a civil manner.
For example, my friend who's great at math until it comes to the simple stuff said the answer to that equation going 'round (1+1+1+1+1*0) was 0. So I pointed out to him that the answer is really four due to the Order of Operations. His response was "PEMDAS isn't in affect because there are no Parenthesis." Unfortunately had I to yell at him to prove my point...My example was "Let's say you have two apples, twice as many oranges and thrice as many bananas. That means our equation is 2 + 2*2 + 2*3. By counting the fruits, you can easily tell that you have a total of twelve fruits. However, if we follow your method, 2 + 2 = 4. 4*2 = 8. 8 + 2 = 10. 10*3 = 30. -insert yelling- So with 2 apples, four oranges and six bananas, we have 30 fruits in total! Thank you oh wise genius of the mathematics!"
So yeah...Care to share anyone?
