Brittany Marshall @brittanylm3281 Replying to @johndawkins @CeJayGe and @nhannahjones Nope the idea of 2 + 2 equaling 4 is cultural and because of western imperialism/colonization, we think of it as the only way of knowing. 11:27 PM · Jul 5, 2020 · Twitter Web App 32 Retweets 6 Likes

Answer given by Noa Galic on if 2+2 can be 5: So, what it looks like we have here is a completely legit proof that 2+2 is 5. Well, we don’t. You see that second line? Where the 4–9/2 is put into a square root function? Herein lies the problem. You see, what you get is basically absolute value. Which cannot be negative. And now witness me as I disprove a proof with a whole line of math: (4−92)2−−−−−−−√=|4−92|=12≠−12 Jokes aside, I find it a pretty nice trick, and I see how a lot of people would fall for it. Not many spend our precious time proving obviously wrong and troll-ish mathematical proofs online wrong. It’s a useless yet beautiful talent one has to be born with. Any time you see something on the internet and say to yourself: “This cannot be true”, it’s probably not. So 2+2=5 is impossible. Pretty sick song tho.

I was thinking about making a meme making fun of poor twitter arguments using 2 + 2 = 4 as a base because I thought the statement was removed enough from politics so the meme could highlight just the arguements.

I give up.
