FWIW I heard the show was extremely bad, and I had to see for myself.
It is very, very bad.
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...
I'm terrible at making math jokes, but I don't have any proofs.
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.
Yeah if your field uses anything beyond basic math this bitch is hiding somewhere
When I started Chem engineering in college, it blew me away that like 80% of lab math and analisis was just using the linear equation everyone bitched and moaned about how useless it was in high-school.
Tonne not tone < tonne is the measurement/a lot, whilst tone is sound
Flavour not flavor, you don’t want people thinking you’re a gross American.
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.
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 stared at the square of the square root of the squared square root for far too long...
that I almost missed the obvious E = / * A. Where would the field of mathematics be without that good old E = / * A? :-D
Did they use AI to generate that?
My guess is they lost the typesetting in a copy/paste. If you copy superscript or the unusual +/- character into an animation tool that doesn't have the font or doesn't recognize the typesetting it will drop the character or convert it to the nearest ASCII. If you've ever copied and pasted something into an email and had the formatting mangled, that's like what happened here.

I feel for Velma. I am so bad at math that sometimes I go into a corner by myself so I can hide what I'm working on from my coworkers while I scribble down very complex maladaptive strategies I've learned to solve simple calculations.
I was making grits the other day. The can had instructions for 1 serving, and 4 servings. I didn't want 1 or 4, I wanted 2. So, I wrote a quick interpolation program on my Casio. Once I ran it, I realized 2 is just double of 1.
I feel like a number of the concepts in this infographic are loosely (if at all) defined. As in - they don't represent established concepts in education and they could have been made by a single party talking out their ass. Or maybe I just have dyscalculia.
I don't mean to discredit Dyscalculia as a thing. As a matter of fact, I transposed a bunch of numbers that I shouldn't have in high school math in spite of sound logic for how I went about the questions. I just have issue with the rest of the infographic being things you can identify with without them having a foundation in science. It tastes a little horoscopey.
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
She’s in high school in the show.
In year 2 of secondary we did it.
If you told me the creator of that show didn't get the equation right because they had no idea what it was even called to look it up, I would believe you.
The new Velma show gave birth to THE best fanmade animation about Scooby Doo https://youtu.be/inJUFqeJehE
So while I didn't enjoy the show, I'm grateful for it
You know, I remember the formula, but I don't remember what a, b, and c are
i enjoyed the Velma tv show immensely, its okay if you didn't, but people got really carried away with just how much they hate women the show, it's a cartoon, enjoy it or dont, don't act like Rome is burning before your eyes
good jokes, inclusive characters, queer people that don't die in the first episode, fun subversion of expectations, meta humour about tropes, a fun mystery, cancelled too soon, but there's still 30something episodes
it made me reasses how I felt about Mindy Kaling's work as a whole, turns out I had been caught up in the misogynistic whirlwind in the past, I've really enjoyed her older stuff upon revisiting it since seeing Velma
You gotta be trolling, right? I guarantee you "women" aren't the reason people disliked Velma. The Golden Girls ran for 7 seasons from 1985 to 1992, I personally really liked watching the reruns even in a seemingly random order.
The reason Velma upsets people because the entire show is meant to upset those people. It's not a real show. It's a shitpost that targets racial and sexual majority groups. I'm sure they could have made a show if they wanted to and instead they made a shitpost. It's got the same appeal to the people who like it as white hoods have to the clan.
I was a stupid ass teenager when it came out and people online convinced me it was the worst shit to ever grace any screen ever. Maybe I missed out.
I really enjoyed Velma. I didn't really care, but wanted to show it to my terminally offline wife to see her honest reaction and she loved it from the first scene and we continued watching it.
You ignoramus. This is what allows us artistic geniuses to freely unleash our gifts to the world, what we call “creative liberty”.
An insignificant thing like being wrong should not stop our creative juices from flowing unabashed.
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.

As someone terrible at math, I appreciate the explanation for what's so wrong here.
Are both sides being divided by 2a?
Those are questions that mere mortals would ask. Be better: just "vibe solve" it. :-P

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.
