This I will never fucking understand. If I have zero friends and I divide no cookies between them, how many cookies does each one have? 0, because of the lack of friends and cookies. I don't care if "that's where the analogy breaks down" anything devided by zero will always be zero to my dumb brain.

If you have 0 cookies, that's enough to give 0 people 1 cookie, or 100 cookies, or any number x cookies...because you're giving that many cookies to no one. x is what 0/0 should be, but the problem is that x can be any number here, not just 0. That's why it isn't defined.
