That's the joke.

I hope.

Case in point.

Thanks for the alternative explanation. Completing the square never made much sense to me either, so I never would have arrived there.

Hurr durr what if I just multiply the whole thing by 4a for some reason? Oh and then after that I'll add b² to both sides, just for shits and giggles. And for good measure, I'll move a few numbers from one side to the other, and that leaves me with 4a²x² + 4abx + b² = b² - 4ac.

And then golly gee! Wouldn't you know it? That just happens to let the left side factor neatly into (2ax + b)²! So I'll just take the square root of both sides...

No!

No!

Bad!

This is fucking voodoo. I hate this shit. It's like trigonometric substitution.

Math is procedural. Math is algorithmic. Math is repeatable.

"If these numbers looked a little different than they do, I could solve this. Oh, wow! If I just sprinkle these magic values into my problem, everything works out great!"

Oh yes, I can see how if you just plug in this shit you pulled out of your ass, everything works out great! But when you aren't around for a fecal transfer, I have no idea how to come up with that.

I was top of my class in math. But that voodoo shit never made any sense to me.

And there is absolute value of zero chance I could figure all that out in the heat of the moment if I forgot the quadratic formula. I had to work backwards from the formula to even get all that in the first place.

The pause feature doesn't actually stop the app from running. It just pauses notifications.

You're looking for something more like Greenify.

I've been hearing the Donkey Kong song in my head for the last 6 hours. If you know how to make it stop, I'm all ears.

Except in glacier, because English is fucked.

I can. But I can't hear it at all.
