????

They tought us about imaginary numbers in A levels (16-17) here, do they not even teach them in undergrad in the US??? I struggle to believe that.

They're just memeing

They taught you that “all numbers are imaginary” in A levels?

I have never looked at math and saw this beauty people describe. Math to me is as beautiful as an angle grinder, it's a useful tool that hates you and plots your demise.

Only numbers that are imaginary are those that do not correlate to real world quantities

I worked in the MMO industry and played a lot of them, including ones I didn't want to (and some that never saw the light of day or folded almost immediately). The last one I kept playing was Rift: Planes of Telara and, when they did an overhaul of stuff, I couldn't be bothered to learn all the new stuff and just quit. That was probably 15ish years ago at this point. It also kinda ruined a lot of gaming for me for years. I do play games again now, and I do sometimes feel the itch for an MMO, but I haven't played one again.
