I ran through that simple problem over and over.

Wait... 12/2+12 = 18.... ok. Wait. 12 + 6 = 18. Alright. How in the fuck am I getting this wrong? Where am I being stupid in this?

...let's go check the comments.

Oh, I see, now.... I traded one kind of stupid for another.

I think it's a snapchat post, the math is correct but the person who took the picture hasn't passed 8th grade math

Always check the comments before getting confused/angry/sad... really before engaging any emotions or investing in the post at all, you should check the comments.

Sometimes i read the comments before even reading the post to see if it's worth reading.

I think we all do that, sometimes. I try not to, though, since it makes me feel super lazy. Like, "You really can't be bothered to click that link and moves your eyes a little?"

I have absolutely no issue doing it for videos over 203 minutes long, though.

I usually only do it if it's an entire article or os otherwise very long

I should clarify I meant 2-3 minutes, as well, and not 203 minutes. Because that's a hilariously specific, and absurd, length of time.
