    Y=-x^2 is a perfectly valid and understandable equation tho

    Edit: I completely misunderstood, the line is how you should read it lol

            Understandable lol
            For some reason I thought you were trying to say something like the math isn’t mathing when trying to understand the picture by putting weird math. To be fair I had basically just woken up and was browsing Lemmy in bed.

    This is the most genius/witty yet helpful and necessary title I ever came across. Thank you.

    Making me look bad doesn’t make you look any better. ⤵️ Why they thought English reads that way, I have no clue.

      Thank you, I failed maths for 6 years straight and felt dumb because all the top comments seemed like they understood it with the help of the title :(

        Yeah the equation is a pre-calc graph that you really only would be familiar with if you took the class.

    This is what happens when you try and solve the Riemann Hypothesis with English words.

        Don’t think it’s AI, this actually looks like something my niece would post. Girl’s soccer drama is quite something. I don’t remember it being so intense when I was her age.
