A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

Pemdas, parenthesis first, for a total of 3. Then multiplication, 15, then addition. 17. What's hard about this?

No, it's written poorly to drive engagement. People read left to right and try to do math that way too, but if you want to be mean to people who don't remember things they learned in elementary school then never applied in real life you write it like OP.

Yes, thank you! Sure, it'd be great if people remembered arithmetic rules, but just write it better and it won't matter.
