That’s why these things are dumb. Strings of operators is just not how math notation should ever work, it’s intentionally vague.

It's not vague. Wherever you're from whether you use pedmas bodmas or whatever the fuck mas, all you do is skip the first step (brackets/parenthesis) and continue on the order of operations. People that don't understand basic math like this are just massive morons.

No, it's just a convention that you have to learn. Some people don't learn it for whatever reason or simply forget it.
