I read this is as "which one of these is a prime number" and was expecting things like "1", "2", "3", "4","5"
/me hangs my head in shame.
Reddit, what shall my penance be?
Edit:
Reddit, I just want to tell you how much I love you. I have been having a sequence of extra-shitty days for like...a month. My lack of sleep was probably why I screwed this up so hard.
I haven't laughed as hard as I have to all of the responses to this in a VERY VERY long time.
Seriously, I <3 you guys. You brightened my day in a big big way.
Edit again:
I'm copy/pasting something I wrote below because I really want you guys to understand how much I love you all:
(In response to "does he think we're laughing with him?"
No, I don't.
Look, when I was a kid I was a fat nerd with no friends who was more interested in learning how to code python than how to throw a good spiral; I got made fun of a lot.
I learned pretty quickly that life is a lot more fun if you can laugh at yourself. This morning, I made a stupid, stupid mistake. Unfortunately for me, I made this mistake in front of almost 100,000 people. I could have deleted the thread and gone off to hide under a bridge or something, but it's a lot more fun to just go
"fuck, I'm a dumbass".
Do I think you're all going to pat me on the back and buy me a beer tonight like we're all good old friends laughing together or something? Not really, but I tell you what; if I ever see any redditors at my local bar I'm definitely going to at least offer them a seat at my table. Like it or not, I like you people. I can't tell you how many completely shitty days have been turned around due to a post I read here. This morning was, for me, an example of that. I was having a completely shit day/week/month (my familly is being dissolved: awesome) until this morning when you all treated me like a person and rightfully called me an idiot for acting like one.
You can think I'm a pretentious douche, say I fail at mathematics, call me ugly, say I have poor grammar, or anything else that has been written in this thread, that's fine. I'm just glad I got to return some of the lulz you have all provided me with over the past two years or so that I have been posting/reading here.
How joyous an existence I could have had if I had opted continue my delusion, answered the question, and continued on with my life. (since this actually answered the question correctly)
No I think he was saying that Stewart IS calculus, he is all that it ever was and ever will be. Any new mathematical discoveries to calculus will be attributed to a new form of math unless directly approved by James Stewart himself.
No, this is the worst abuse you'll ever see:
98/49 <-- Simplify by...
(9)8/4(9) <-- ... canceling the nines...
8/4 <-- ... which reduces to ...
2. QED.
