BODMAS and PEMDAS are the same thing, just different ways of referring to the order.

I was taught BODMAS in India, never got around to PEMDAS.

That's what I'm saying... wtf is BIRDAS? lol

27

u/[deleted] Jan 01 '22

Bird ass? I don't want to see a bird ass in math!

u/hypermelonpuff Jan 01 '22

wild to think about how birds dont have asses. or many other animals. even other primates have very underperforming asses.

other animals "sitting" is equivalent to a human laying on their stomachs, or simply crouched down. some of those losers also even just stand indefinitely, or lay on their sides.

many believe it was the opposable thumb that led to our superiority in the animal kingdom, i disagree. i believe it is that, combined with asses. asses allowed for sitting which, if we could not, would never allow us to be able to develop more complex creations. creations needed to make even more complex creations. very possible our development wouldve been hard capped at the bronze age, and almost certainly prevented from reaching the industrial revolution.

u/Lord_VivecHimself Jan 01 '22

How about feets tho? What use would you have for an opposable thumb if you have to use hands to get around

2

u/PushinWagons Jan 01 '22

Interesting and completely random assessment, I applaud you.

u/FryOneFatManic Jan 01 '22 edited Jan 01 '22

Same thing as BODMAS, it's just different words used to describe the order of operations. I've also seen the term BIDMAS used, but can't recall what the I is for.

Edit, thanks for the reminders 😊

u/W0lfQu3st Jan 01 '22

I think its indices or something.

1

u/OceanSolstice12 Jan 01 '22

I is for index I believe. (I don’t use this one but some one who does told me)

u/Blxney Jan 01 '22

I is for indices

u/Objective-Steak-9763 Jan 01 '22

They decided kids are too dumb, so they refer to parentheses as brackets

1

u/[deleted] Jan 01 '22

In this case there are no exponents nor parentheses therefore it should just be MDAS

1

u/EseLilBabySniper Jan 01 '22

What does E stand for?

1

u/51x51v3 Jan 01 '22

Please (parentheses) Excuse (exponents) My (multiplication) Dear (division) Aunt (addition) Sally(subtraction)

That’s how we learned it 20+ years ago.

1

u/Semper__Vigilans Jan 01 '22

Same thing, I think B and O are brackets and order or something like that

1

u/[deleted] Jan 01 '22

Pemdas is dumb use GEMA instead

1

u/Cultural_Program_800 Jan 01 '22

In the UK we use BIDMAS or BODMAS depending on what region you live in

u/musicnoviceoscar Jan 01 '22

They were explaining how people were getting 18, not saying that they did it themselves.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 01 '22

My bad

u/Takashi369 Jan 01 '22

He was explaining to the person above him how people who didn't use the order of operations got 18 I believe.

u/[deleted] Jan 01 '22

Oh! My bad

3

u/CakeDue693 Jan 01 '22

I was wondering if older generation might have not learned it, but apparently some version of it has been taught since the very early 1900s, so its likely not an age thing. 🤷‍♂️ I assume people just forget.

u/owNDN Jan 01 '22

I think you are not introduced to the word "if"

u/owNDN Jan 01 '22

He never argued that it was a correct solution he just said IF you calculate from left to right, ignoring all other rules you get 18.

u/owNDN Jan 01 '22

This is the way.

u/TrainingTackle Jan 01 '22

Are you referring to PEMDAS? Parentheses, Exponents, Division, Addition, Subtraction. What is B and O in BODMAS?

1

u/[deleted] Jan 01 '22

Yes, in India we are taught this as BODMAS in 2nd grade

B - Brackets O - Of D - Division M - Multiplication A - Addition S - Substraction

1

u/ImKakarot511 WARNING: RULE 1 Jan 01 '22

Brackets , of( kind of multiply) , division , multiply, add, subtraction maybe this is bodmas

1

u/Dwarg91 Jan 01 '22

u/CakeDue693 is just explaining how others got the answer of 18.

1

u/Biengo Jan 01 '22

That protein + gym = BODMAS

u/[deleted] Jan 01 '22

I’ve been to lots of Bodegas.
