@MasterMischief @georgetakei "There is no root of - 1" is basic math. There is a diagonal line through the picture, I oversaw first, too.

@kaktus @MasterMischief @georgetakei In Really Advanced Maths you can go one step further to something called Grassman numbers, which are non-zero square roots of zero...

@MasterMischief @georgetakei I think it means that in basic math you can't take the square root of a negative number.

@MasterMischief @georgetakei no but the ban on rooting negative number is

Thus when imaginary number comes that rule is turned upside down

@MasterMischief @georgetakei

"imaginary numbers is basic math?"

they should be. I learned about them when I was in 5th grade. The basic mechanics should be no more difficult than learning about fractions, which we did in 4th grade.

@MasterMischief
No, imaginary numbers are under advanced math. The basic math image says you can't do that.

@georgetakei Pretty sure they fail at "advanced" everything... Well, except for dementia, I think Trump has that one nailed down.

@georgetakei reminds me of that one time some asshole in 12th grade blared genderbinary nonsense and the biology teacher snapped at him:

"If biology was that easy, I would not have studied it. Sit down and realize that 5th grade SexEd was simplified so you testosterone-manipulated brain could comprehend the importance of putting a condom on your dick so you don't impregnate people and/or spread figwarts and clamydia all around."
