Because of one troll harassing people to insist 2(8)^2^ is 256 and RPN has invisible brackets.

I feel like I am getting trolled

Isn't 17 the actual right answer?

So it's just an unfunny meme?

I think it's meant to play with your expectations. Normally someone's take being posted is to show them being confidently stupid, otherwise it isn't as interesting and doesn't go viral.However, because we're primed to view it from that lens, we feel crazy to think we're doing the math correctly and getting the "wrong answer" from what we assume is the "confident dipshit".

There's layers beyond the superficial.
