The first appearance of an explicit PEMDAS rule in Dutch is in an appendix of a textbook on algebra for the military academy (1838), aimed at military engineers, not elementary school students, nor academic mathematicians.

I feel the same way about people that can't name all the states, their capitals, and list the presidents in order.

Also, wouldn't it be hilarious if aliens made contact with us and told us PEMDAS was wrong?

Clearly a lie. I have recently been told that, literally, everything was invented by black people and stolen by whites.

I assumed since we use arab numerals, and algebra was invented by a muslim, the rules would have been set down then. Hard to believe it took a thousand years to define the order of operations.... in fact, I don't believe it.

You should have been paying attention in 5th grade instead of banging your teachers.

I blame my parents. The schools wanted to let me skip some grades so I wouldn't be bored in class. My parents said no, the teachers were there, I'm me, so...

A lot of female voters watch this show and inform their opinions based on what they hear...

She doesn't just point out the eclipse, but earthquakes and cicadas too.

The Hosts on The View think the Solar Eclipse is caused by Climate Change
Video: No, they don't.

Is that a self own? Or just a lie? Gas-lighting?

There is no "they". It's her and she very clearly does.

After listing those items, she says:
"Say all those things together would maybe lead one to believe that either climate change exists or something is really going on."

Weird that the title was plural, and now you're saying it's not. Despite the fact that it still is.

That's your response? Trying to do a semantics "gotcha" on the tweet's title. You're better than that. Just take the L (or claim to be trolling) and move on.

It literally said THE HOSTS.

No, THE HOSTS did not say it. One idiot said something and was immediately corrected.

There is no L, I'm 100% correct here. That dipshit posting is the moron.

I apologize that your sexual crushes on The View are marred by an innocent generalization, but it's still semantics.

I'm with Catt on this one. One person is grossly ignorant, and two others are trying to correct her as fast as they can, on all three of her points.

So to me, the hosts on the show are trying to correct one host that believes a bunch of weird shit.

1. A million accounts posted this tidbit of stupidity all with their own takes. I just grabbed one.
2. In no way, shape, or form does the semantics in one tweet take away from the FACT that this asshat in on national TV daily spouting horseshit to an audience of voting age people. Seriously, she's a daily highlight reel. The other View hosts aren't much better.

Honestly, The View is just State Sponsored TV.

Well, ya. That show is toxic as fuck.

As far as the idiot that was speaking, I blame youtube. Youtube has the ability to make some people smarter (TONS of educational stuff out there that is legit), but others more stupid. Her feed is obviously filled with the later.

I think she's just pretty stupid. It's an hour show and I wasn't kidding when I say they get her daily. The other hosts say stupid shit, but not at the rate she does.

I believe pretty strongly that it hurts the US more than it helps to burry kids with student loans, etc. But this is retarded.

Yeah, that's pretty stupid

Also, I'm with you about saddling students with massive debt is dumb, but this is all a government created problem. Well, not all. It was also helped along by bullshit demands for a college degree for every position.
