Coming from someone that memorized it in high school and hasn’t used it since, I am enraged.
It’s a formula very useful for a tone of engineering fields, electronic, mechanics, automatic control and probably a bunch more. I used it a tone in my early carrier, including the imaginary flavor.
I’m terrible at making math jokes, but I don’t have any proofs.
Same here, but I’ll suck it up and make one if I halve two.
Such an strange error. I’m not saying it’s AI but here’s my prompt:
Generate a picture of someone thinking and, to symbolize their thought process, show math symbols and equations around their head, these symbols have to include the quadratic formula
Here’s the pic:
I suspect it’s an OCR error.
I’m guessing a typesetter was too lazy to add a different-size font and although they knew how to type “√”, didn’t realize “²” is in Unicode too. They added a horizontal line as separate graphics to extend the square root symbol but only realized too late the whole thing is in a fraction: maybe someone reminded them and they misinterpreted the advice, or just decided not to split the text box to put the nominator higher.
That makes about a million times more sense
A negative boy was unsure about a radical party.
The boy was a square, so he missed out on four awesome chicks.
And the whole thing was over by 2am…
This is beautiful, as a mathematics major it brought me to tears. I’ll be reading this at my wedding
I was just taught it to “pop goes the weasel”.
Thanks
Now we just need this in song form which is how I was taught lol
FWIW I heard the show was extremely bad, and I had to see for myself.
It is very, very bad.
One of the worst parts of it is that Scooby Doo has had tons of successful series and they’ve all been pretty good. Yet they somehow managed to fuck this up despite it being an incredibly simple formula for a show.
It was never about Scooby Doo. IIRC, this was supposed to be an original show, but latching it to a successful 90s franchise must have looked like a sure money maker.
Edit: did some fact checking, this was a theory. The show actually was an unfortunate reimagining of Scooby Doo since its inception.
Regardless of what the official story is, that’s probably what really happened. Same thing with the Halo tv show.
I don’t know. Seeing how modern shows like Foundation, The Witcher, or Star Trek Discovery, to name a few, have gratuitously walked over their own canon, I can understand how the producers thought Velma was a good idea for a new Scooby Doo show.
I think Discovery is a little different. They had way too many producers and writers on that show, all trying to get their little ideas in so when they moved onto a new project, they could get a sexy “By the creators of Star Trek” tagline on it. The situation Walter Mosley described when he left STD made the writer’s room sound like a viper pit.
Plus the first two seasons basically had the producers get fired, and a new person brought in partway through.
That would be bad for any show.
it was designed as ragebait. but it failed even at that.
You’re talking about it
Did they use AI to generate that?
i was wondering that too
Neural Network (bad one)
why is she even thinking about this?
didn’t get an animation job for the math skills
… Why not just copy the meme they’re referencing? It’s like they’re intentionally trying to screw this up.
Wrong formula aside, what is the meaning of dividing an entire equation? (x = b) / a
quotient equivalence under an equivalence relation “a” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotient_type
Okay, but even if we assumed (x=b) to be a very small equivalence relation, it should appear in the denominator position to form an equivalence quotient.
Oh yeah was a bit sleepy and thought you could just put arbitrary expressions in the numerator instead of just the type.
But consider this: heterogeneous propositional equality type of types x and b under equivalence relation a, which is bound somewhere else in the aether that we can’t see in the screenshot
Constructors of this equality type? No fucking clue but I’m sure there exist some to make the need for an equivalence relation make sense
You’re probably on the right track. Every hunk of symbols is probably a valid type expression in some system. Including a square root type.
I used to be able to do calculus and now I don’t even remember algebra
You know, I remember the formula, but I don’t remember what a, b, and c are
They’re the coefficients of a quadratic equation! Y = ax^2 + bx + c
0 = ax^2 + bx + c
Oh true!
They are all superfluous if you know how to do quadratic expansion.
Do you have a truly universal method for quadratic expansion that is easier to remember and compute than the formula? Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy quadratic expansion and always give it a few shots before resorting to the formula.
Animation software didn’t have superscript, so now power ofs.
I mean maybe it’s just some other formula
I’ve never seen an equals sign inside a term
I was trying to think what the funniest part was. I think it’s the b2 - like just take your b2 vitamins bro, it’s worth like squared a regular b.
It makes the term into a boolean ☝️🤓
As someone terrible at math, I appreciate the explanation for what’s so wrong here.

Well I didn’t spot that
Are both sides being divided by 2a?
You start by dividing both sides by 2a, and then you can multiply both sides by 2a to get rid of the 2a’s from both sides. Doing this will give you a sense of accomplishment whenever you don’t know how to proceed.
Those are questions that mere mortals would ask. Be better: just “vibe solve” it. :-P
