Came here to say this.

Every example they give is brain dead and doesn't fit their own narrative. 2 apples plus 2 oranges doesn't equal 4 apples. Correct, but it does equal 4 pieces of fruit.

They want to argue idiot semantics.

Two apples plus two oranges does not equal four apples. Simplified, it equals two sets of apples and oranges:

2a + 2b = 2(a+b) , where a is an apple, b is an orange, and a != b

Edit: lol someone downvoted this. How do you downvote basic algebra?

It's a troll. Side note, I'm actually very impressed with the ratios here. Shows that actual patriots use the site. I was on a stickied thread yesterday and the top comment had like 800+ upvotes and only 2 downvotes.

It literally is just that. I have some lefty friends and all they actually argue is rhetoric.

There is no substance to their anti-Trump opinions too, it's "He SaId GrAb HeR bY tHe PuSsY!" while ignoring that Joe Biden raped someone by literally grabbing her pussy.

They still bring this up as their main argument today...

Then they pivot to how Trump tweets.

They have nothing to complain about other than "words hurt meeeeeeeee!"

But 2 + 2 = 10........................in base 4. Ha ha I got you.

But 10 in base 4 is...4. Yes?

No. In Base 4, you only have three numbers available to make your values: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4.

Once you hit a total of 4, the next value to the left increases by one.

(assuming base 10 value on the left side being calculated to base 4 on the right)

0 + 1 = 1 base 4 0 + 2 = 2 base 4 0 + 3 = 3 base 4 0 + 4 = 10 base 4 0 + 7 = 13 base 4 0 + 8 = 20 base 4 0 + 12 = 30 base 4 0 + 13 = 31 base 4

0 + 16 = 100 base 4

(I wrote a lot more but decided to stop at this point).

In base four, you only have 0 1 2 3.

In base four, 2 + 2 = 10

In base ten, 2 + 2 = 4

In base two, 10 + 10 = 100

In base three, 2 + 2 = 11

In base one, || + || = ||||

The point is this: 10(base4) == 4(base10) == 100(base2) == 11(base3) == ||||(base1). They're all the same equation. And none of those will ever give you a way to come up with the value 5

All bases are base 10

it is pretty much semantics,

like you say 2/4 + 2/4 = 1 gallon

& they're like those aren't fourths, they're quarts!
