Origins

Division by zero is thought to be impossible. Many postulate that if anything was in fact divided by zero the apocalypse would ensue.

Though there are many variations on this meme, they all revolve around the theme of something extremely bad happening.

Usage

Here is a common usage: It is implied that someone divided by zero, and now there’s a hole in the bottom of the sea.

This meme has a high level of compatibility with other memes, demonstrated below.

If anyone cares about the math, this is why you cannot divide by zero

The Olmecs are credited with the discovery of 0. Thus, it is also believed that they were the first ones to divide by it. We can see how that turned out for them since they aren’t here anymore.

Nice job fixing this up!

PS: Put your heart and soul into it, and it most likely won’t be deadpooled.

Why it it when you divide by zero, it appears to look like a black hole or a collapse of matter? It is because you destroy matter and energy! That is how I destroy planets!
BTW, I showed Chuck Norris how to master such feet.

If you divide infinity by zero, you’ll time paradox yourself to not make you divide infinity by zero.
