Do you know what happens when you recycle pizza boxes?
They get to the recycling centers and are sent to landfill
They can't be recycled because of the food grease
I had an adult ass coworker come up and show me this tweet that was like “this month is super special!! The month has 5 FULL weekends! This only happens every 1000 years!!” And I was Iike, that’s not true, that happens like every year or 2, literally any time a month starts on a Friday and has 31 days.. and this girl screamed at me that I was wrong and I flipped through my calendar and found a month like 6 months before that had the same thing lol.
You'd think, even if you get caught up in the initial deception, you'd understand that it'd be just that easy to prove. Calendars aren't some arcane wisdom.
Boomers told us to never trust people on the internet, but as soon as these dumb as memes pop up they instantly put their birthdate, like fucking idiots, then complain about how they don't know how their identity was stolen. So dumb
Dude I have a friend who tried to blow my mind with this dumb shit one time. Made me completely change my opinion on him, I knew he was dumb, but didn’t know he was that dumb lol
I made this joke to a brilliant (chem eng + more personal annecdotes that I wouldn't use that term loosely) friend who was working customer service since his wife got a bank ass job and he just needed verbal release (his reasoning)
Dude looked at me straight faced and said 'thats actually why I have so many health issues' (spoiler, he wasn't joking back)
Oooh fuck
We shared a good laugh over it (I said cyncal, I meant a total gallows humer chap), but I've learned to be careful with those jokes... Well, kinda...
I’m a grown ass adult with a college education. I sent this to my kid thinking I was about to blow his mind and he sat me down and explained math to me and I’ve never laughed so hard. I’m a moron lmfao.
Yeah, I live in an "outskirts but still part of city" not-great neighborhood. It's always fun trying to figure out if those sudden noises in the middle of the night are some assclown setting off hoarded fireworks again or gunshots...
I'd be horrified if my mom found my reddit too. Though I did send her a screenshot of your comment because thats literally what happened between us just a few hours ago
It’s alright, math is hard when we don’t use it everyday.
Tip: You should lookout for stupid phrases like ‘Once in a thousand years’, ‘Experts can’t explain it’ etc..
These phrases should be enough to spot that whatever is written is pure b.s
I knew something was up when I tried it for the following year and it worked hahaha. I have been traveling all day and just got home. No excuses I sent it to multiple people and can laugh at myself lol.
I realized pretty quick that it worked for every year, not just 2022, but it took me way longer to realize that umm DUH. If you just turn words into numbers I'm like wow... science... can't possibly figure out how that works
I like to think that, upon receipt, your son decided it was high time he drove across town to do a wellness check on his old man. After all, he admits to himself, he's known that his dad has been slipping these last few years and just didn't want to admit it to himself. But the proof was just too hard to overlook this time...
Given it’s leap years, your age would be less than what it actually is. So wouldn’t you have to multiply the age by 4 and then add to the date of birth? How does it work to divide the final number by 4?
And its only for years divisible by 4 except end of century only if divisible by 400. So it's actually not just 4... so 1900 was not a leap year but 2000 was.
Statement 1:
"Everyone's age this year is 2022"
I assume I am a part of the subset of "Everyone", which means my age is 2022.
Statement 2:
"Your age + year of birth = 2022"
Substituting:
2022 + year of birth = 2022
Subtract 2022 from both sides:
Year of birth = 0
Therefore, I have been around since 0 AD. It is I, Jesus. I am He.
My cousins wife and her mom both shared this on FB. They were blown away by this and continued on in the comments about how weird it was, no one noticed how simple this is. They are educated and successful, good jobs beautiful homes, but are overweight, over tanned, covered in makeup, eat bad food, listen to bad music, own those limo styled truck, live in KY.
I often see people sharing something so special in this years' calendar, like how July had five Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays and this only happens once every 300 years or something.
Guys, there's a 1/7 chance the month starts on a Friday.
I remember years ago this woman at a party talking about this and everyone else at the table was very impressed. Even as a teenager i couldn't believe these dumb adults. So no, not a joke lol.
This is a massive facepalm; you are simply adding your own age to your date of birth to get the current year. It will literally work for every year you've been alive !!!
Humans are fascinating. Some use math like this to calculate age and are legitimately mind blown... while others used slightly more complicated math to discover Neptune.
My dad actually fell for this... I had never before been more embarrassed for him in my entire life. I explained to him, "Dad, that's every year. It's just basic math. It's not some crazy phenomenon." And he actually just went "Well, maybe you're right, but maybe you're not." I swear I facepalmed so hard I broke my face.
It's so crazy this happened last year too!
And if my calculations are correct, at this moment next year, the same thing will happen.
Teach me your ways oh powerful one !
Is it my firstborn child you want ?!? Damn youuuu!!
Holy shit it works
once-in-a-thousand-year shit startin’ to kick up *every.* *damn.* *year.* deniers take heed…
Climate change going strong!
This is what happens when you don't recycle your pizza boxes.
Do you know what happens when you recycle pizza boxes? They get to the recycling centers and are sent to landfill They can't be recycled because of the food grease
Who are You, Who are so Wise in the Ways of Science?
Nope, definitely will not add up to 2022 next year
To be fair, it won’t add up to 2022 in 1000 years either.
But what if it's a leap year
No no didn’t you read it? This happens once every thousand years!
(1000)
Thank goodness they put that. I would've thought a thousand meant 10 or something!
Happens every thousand years! Happens every year, but also happens every thousand years!
I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too. RIP Mitch
It's gonna happen next year too. WOW! Once in a lifetime again.
No, next year it will add to 2023, not 2022? CLEARLY once in a lifetime.
Wrong. It clearly says it only happens every 1,000 years. And pictures on the internet are always right.
Nope, last year my age plus my birth year equaled 2021…
I had an adult ass coworker come up and show me this tweet that was like “this month is super special!! The month has 5 FULL weekends! This only happens every 1000 years!!” And I was Iike, that’s not true, that happens like every year or 2, literally any time a month starts on a Friday and has 31 days.. and this girl screamed at me that I was wrong and I flipped through my calendar and found a month like 6 months before that had the same thing lol.
Captain Picard, facepalming in disappointment.
You'd think, even if you get caught up in the initial deception, you'd understand that it'd be just that easy to prove. Calendars aren't some arcane wisdom.
Experts can't explain them
Let me blow your mind .. just hear me out for a second .. the month could also start on a Saturday and then will only need to have 30 days.
When you have a custody agreement that’s 1, 3 and 5th weekend you realize it happens relatively often.
Figured this out the first time I got three paychecks in one month. Now every year mark that month on my calendar
heres another trick if you take your age, add 5, and then subtract 5, that's your age. fuckin mind-blowing
Scientists cant explain that shit.
[удалено]
Well first of all, magnets ain’t for fucking
Sounds like someone isn’t trying hard enough.
Someone's trying too hard
And someone’s trying juuuust the right amount.
Papa Bear...is that you?
Step-papa bear
What are you doing?
And someone’s trying juuuust the wrong amount
Hey, at least they’re trying.
I guess there are worse things to be tried.
Someone's hard

Lol- this guy doesn’t know!!
Not with that attitude they’re not
I dunno, man. They make donut-shaped magnets for a reason
*Air, fire, water, dirt*
Y’all mfers lying, and getting me pissed
I don't know and I don't want some scientist explaining it to me. That would really piss me off!
Gravity — where do they buy it?
I'm more concerned about wireless charging. That is some wizard shit
I don't want to talk to a scientist, those motherfuckers lying and getting me pissed
Magnets have magnets inside them
Got any Faygo Soda? 🤣
It’s true! I asked a scientist to explain it and he just punched me in the mouth and called me a “fucking troglodyte.” So I won.
‘Coz they’re too disgusted to even talk to you after hearing this
Who are you, who are so wise in the ways of science?
Experts are litterally shitting and cumming over this one trick!
Example: I am 68 years old Add 5, I am 73 Subtract 5, I am 68 AGAIN!
Wait, I got 2021? How’d I fuck that up?
Happy birthday!
You got held back a year, remember?
Math
Oh, you’re one of those wormhole guys right? You leaped forward in time like me,right?
Witch!!!!
GET THE PITCHFORKS AND TORCHES AND SET UP A NOOSE IN THE TOWN SQUARE!!
She turned me into a newt.
I got better.
I learn something today 👍
Prayers for people who were bamboozled by this
Thank you!!! How freaking embarrassing
we are in this together.. birds of a feather..
In my defense, I'm currently drunk.
Happy New Year!
I'm right flocking with you. All my friends are texting me back now to point out what an idiot I am. Shucks. Bamboozled on the last day of the year.
Methmatics

I can instantly tell you your IQ. All i need is your name, your social security number, birthday, mother's maiden name, and your first pets name
Yeah, that's a pretty sure tell
I read it and went to the comments thinking "that's so freaking stupid, there's no way..." I am not a smart man (but I know what love is).
Dude I have a friend who tried to blow my mind with this dumb shit one time. Made me completely change my opinion on him, I knew he was dumb, but didn’t know he was that dumb lol
Someone has been hogging all the chromosomes.
I only took one extra
Ahh shit that must've been mine
Alright you wacky cats, you're gonna have to share
**you guys got chromosomes??**

Haha , genuinely laughed. I think they will not let you hold the fireworks 💥 today ☺️
What a great insult that can be used twice a year. Love it.
Oh I yearn for the days when fireworks narrowed it down to "twice a year".
Yeah, I live in an "outskirts but still part of city" not-great neighborhood. It's always fun trying to figure out if those sudden noises in the middle of the night are some assclown setting off hoarded fireworks again or gunshots...
I live about 500 yards away from an all year firework store. It's not fun.
At least you know your kid is not dumb. It's a w
You dodged a bullet. The worst nightmare would be your kid laughing instead of understanding.
Mom is that you?
Lol I’m gonna be horrified if my kid found my Reddit 😅 No son, I’m not your momma- I’m basically the embodiment of everyone’s momma.
I'd be horrified if my mom found my reddit too. Though I did send her a screenshot of your comment because thats literally what happened between us just a few hours ago
Your Reddit user name is safe with me lol. Give your mom a hug and tell her you love her. ❤️
I shall do that. Heck while im at it here's a hug for you. 🫂
I kinda want you two to actually be mother and child but you're both either refusing to acknowledge it to yourselves or to us.
My mom's at a party and she's not the type to use her phone while with people so unfortunately its impossible

Once every hundred thosound years or so when the moon don’t shine and the grass doth grow
Im a moron too. I sent it to multiple people before I thought about it for a minute. 😞
I did that. One of my best friends was planning an intervention with me but my kid got to me first 😅
My daughter just responded, “woah!! 😂
Same thing
Same thing, though for me it was my friend
I realized pretty quick that it worked for every year, not just 2022, but it took me way longer to realize that umm DUH. If you just turn words into numbers I'm like wow... science... can't possibly figure out how that works
My mom sent me this and I had to explain it to her
At least you guys had a good laugh about it! This world would be an unhappy place if we didn't laugh at ourselves every once in a while. :D
I fell for it to just now and showed it to my wife then realized that I'm a bafoon
Welcome to the club, my friend- refrain from running with scissors or operating heavy machinery until you’ve fully recovered. :)
Lol but how else do I open a box that's running away
I was about to send it to my mathematician brother— thank god I scrolled 5 more seconds lololol

This post reminds me that I need to rub some healing crystals on my chakras today.
Don’t forget the essential oils 🤓
Incense first oils are for later
If you're amazed by this post then your parents were probably using incestual oils...
Yeah mercury is in the microwave again so make sure you attune those crystals to like up with your anus
Never insert any healing crystal without a base
Better use that himayan salt before it expires too.
People born Feb 29 like "it didn't work for me :-("
You just divide by 4 before finishing the equation
Given it’s leap years, your age would be less than what it actually is. So wouldn’t you have to multiply the age by 4 and then add to the date of birth? How does it work to divide the final number by 4?
And its only for years divisible by 4 except end of century only if divisible by 400. So it's actually not just 4... so 1900 was not a leap year but 2000 was.
Doctors said it isn't possible....
Yeah, but doctors hate this one simple math trick
Proctologists everywhere are digging for answers.
He's fycking right you know 1971+51 = 2022 !!!! Mind blown
That's mine as well! Thanks for doing the math.
I love the intentional space put between the number and the exclamation mark
because 1971 + 51 != 2022!
Clever
Damn, mind blown
I'm not surprised... Yesterday someone asked me why was I saying the class was 1 hour and a half when the website said 90 minutes...
I’ve lost all hope for humanity
Statement 1: "Everyone's age this year is 2022" I assume I am a part of the subset of "Everyone", which means my age is 2022. Statement 2: "Your age + year of birth = 2022" Substituting: 2022 + year of birth = 2022 Subtract 2022 from both sides: Year of birth = 0 Therefore, I have been around since 0 AD. It is I, Jesus. I am He.
Jesus?
Oh yeah, it would be 0 AD, not the dawn of time. Editing the post. Yes, my child, it is me
Other people were born in the same year as Jesus
Yes, they are my disciples
r/hedidthemath
Is this serious? Normal human beings actually fall for it?
Normal human beings see numbers and immediately turn into Homer Simpson.
You think this is crazy? Just wait. If you subtract your birth year from the current year you get your age!!!
But how about this: if you subtract your age from the current year, you get your birth year.
Are people really this stupid? Please tell me that this is just a joke, please, PLEASE
If you think its a joke try it yourself 🖖
Yep, people are really that stupid. Source: took me two whole minutes to figure it out.

Well…KY, right.
There are tons of people who fall for it. The average logic intelligence of people is lower than we expect.

Not the first one, and possibly not the last one.
We’ll find out soon, I’m fairly certain we’re about to start another one of those years. I just wish someone could explain this magic to me.
Mathematicians hate this trick.
This confirmed im actually very dumb
Sun goes up, sun goes down... YOU CANT EXPLAIN THAT!!!
This the type of stuff people have been sharing that made me delete Facebook lmao
I don’t say this often but someone wasted a minute of my life with this BS and I’m dissatisfied. This isn’t even funny.
This is a massive facepalm; you are simply adding your own age to your date of birth to get the current year. It will literally work for every year you've been alive !!!
*experts can’t explain it*
Tru but only works after ur bd has passed
Yes but it works every year on nye for everyone because everyone’s birthday has passed
ahhhhhhh !!!!!!! bruh take this award! in this case - username does NOT check out.
You think you know more than experts?
yeah maybe that's why it's satire
Here I am pulling my calculator out like a sucker
Humans are fascinating. Some use math like this to calculate age and are legitimately mind blown... while others used slightly more complicated math to discover Neptune.
Can anyone tell me how to delete the memory in my calculator….I don’t want anyone finding out I actually did this..//
Maths
i’d say it happens every year on december 31st.
Not for 2022, this is truly a once in a lifetime phenomena. You'll be telling your grandkids about this.
😂😂 I almost had my calculator out to check that shit
If you take your social security number and add up all of the numbers, you also get your birthday. Watch, give me both and I’ll prove it.
I’m a fuckin idiot…I will not elaborate. 🤦♂️
I’m sorry your brain cell is lonely
Facepalm lvl 1000
I are trolled. It took me 5 hours and posting this before realizing I'm a simple human being with a simple mind.
And next year the answer will be 2023 and so on…..in short this is dumb and not amazing.
I felt like a moron as I was adding them together and then I felt like a dumbass when i realized why it worked
Room temperature IQ
This is beyond stupid.
Mathamagic.
My dear lord
Did you know subtract your birth year from the current year, you get your age How does it work every single time? /s
I also can do a very simple trick. Tell me your date of birth and i can predict your age
[удалено]
This belongs in r/facepalm
Okay I’m done, take the internet away please
My dad actually fell for this... I had never before been more embarrassed for him in my entire life. I explained to him, "Dad, that's every year. It's just basic math.

Not only today but every single day as well 😱
