After all, Murphy's law states that the best way to get a correct answer on the internet isn't to ask a question but rather state false information as true.
Thanks to people like Dana, we have found the most efficient way to get answers for homework from the internet: say something blatantly wrong, and wait for someone to correct you.
The funny part is that OP wasn't actually wrong. They didn't say that 1705542 was prime, but that by using Riemann's Hypothesis he could prove it while in reality it isn't. This would pinpoint a flaw in Riemann's Hypothesis, hope he somehow managed to get that published.
From what I have seen, Quora questions typically come in two forms: 1: "Is ultra-high-end graphics card from last year absolutely unusable and obsolete because ultra-high-end graphics card from this year released?" And 2: "I lost a game of Uno so I skinned my family alive. Did I overreact?" Edit: Why are you all still commenting on this? I posted this months ago!
1: “I’m gonna assume you mean for a computer, and I’m gonna assume that you need a decent refresh rate, and imma assume we’re talking about a GPU here. In that case, it depends on your situation” 2: “I’m gonna assume we’re talking about the standard rules of uno here, and I’m gonna assume nobody cheated in this game, and I’m gonna assume you mean “I skinned my family while they were alive”. If this is the case, it really depends on your situation.”
At some point I made a Quora account and started getting emails from them, and they are the most completely unhinged things I see regularly. Just a mix of bizarre questions and some just incredibly intense and tragic stories people are apparently posting out of nowhere.
It's really no different than the garbage you see on Reddit, but somehow many of the posters on Quora are even more insufferable. Especially when it comes to political discourse.
Quora is almost as good as the old Yahoo Answers days. "My sister's husband is threatening to confess our affair. How do I keep his cute little mouth shut?" "Mailing a kitten to my bro in this box. There's food and a water bowl in there. Is 12 holes enough?" "How make girl preganent?"
“I took away my teenager’s door, pillow, bed, blanket, floor, books, money, glasses, food, clothes, watch, phone, breakfast, bedroom, house, school, state, life, and country and put her up for auction in the Southern hemisphere because she got a B. Am I not doing enough?”
@@swaghilashYou're kidding but i once read a quora post of a mother saying "I Took away my son's bed privileges" because she found him playing video games. Like what even are bed privileges?
The fact that any number which has the last digit divisible by 2 will NEVER be a prime number shows that he hasnt done his first grade homework yet for last 10 years.
The other Quora experience is "I beat my son every day and I deleted his steam account and forced him to enroll in the military and for some reason he doesn't talk to me anymore. Why?"
Honestly, everyone focuses on the 1705542 part, but literally never point out the Riemann hypothesis part as if it doesn't have any meaning to the rest of the sentence. Is proof by contradiction not a thing anymore? (The quora user probably doesn't have a proof anyway, because it's quora)
@@Nesuniken yeah, I have no clue how that could be used to prove that number is a prime... RH is used to estimate the prime counting function, and if it is correct it can predict only the first half digits of the number of primes within a certain range.
Best question I've seen there was "what do you call two siblings born on the same day but in different years?" With an answer along the lines of "Greg and Matt, but i called them my brothers because they were born on x day 5 years apart"
One of the most hilarious questions that I read recently was, _"I caught my 17-year-old daughter eating Chinese food so I'm sending her away to China for 5 months and she won't stop crying. What do I do?"_
I saw one that went something like (paraphrasing because I don't remember it fully) "My daughter got a B in class today. I took away her phone, laptop, bedroom door, bed, pillow, and blanket for 2 weeks. Should I have done more?"
It's been amazing to witness Quora's descent from the early days where well-known public figures were answering interesting questions to the last few years where it's become the new Yahoo Answers.
Quora is wild…I will never forget seeing a response to “how do you eat egg rolls” from a white american guy whose credentials were “i’ve eaten a lot of chinese food” that essentially just complained about how greasy egg rolls are
Oh man that's the tip of the iceberg of Quora spamming weirdness. I once had someone basically stalk me on there requesting my answers to about 400 questions on the hair colour of the actor Kenneth Tobey. And that's before you even get into all the fetish stuff, people asking endless variations on "can I wear diapers?" or "how do I get a woman to kick me in the balls?" all that shit lol. And who can ever forget fecal dust guy? Between that, the bot accounts and the memes Quora is a dumpster fire these days...
@@Wyrm3 yep, he just had about a million questions that were all a combination of "what happens if fecal dust is ingested by...?" He was quite a legend among the quora community for a while, though not in a good way.
Quora be like: "My son gets straight A's but I found him playing video games for more than 1 hour per day, so I broke his console, beat him with a pole, locked him in a dark room for 3 days and forced him to sell his left kidney. Am I a bad parent?"
The quora experience is also when someone asks a hypothetical question like what if the moon crashed into the earth and some moron is always like “well that’s not possible and is never going to happen” like wow great answer
also the one where they asked "how did 18th century prostitutes avoid getting STDs" and some galaxy brain 500 iq individual went "well the best way to avoid STDs is abstinence" homeboy i doubt a prostitute js gonna be practicing abstinence

I like to gatekeep gatekeeping. Gatekeeping is a valuable time saving service if you don’t do it like an absolute bag of dick (singular). Example: you know that game you like to play? Explain the appeal of the game, and then say “if that isn’t your style, try another game, no worries.” Gatekeeping done right. Tada.
@@demonzabrak no offense but calling that behavior gatekeeping is potentially the stupidest thing you can do why would you want to associate being normal and inoffensive about your interests with gatekeeping? you had to alter basically every aspect of it to get where you are now. you aren't being exclusionary, you aren't acting on a motivation to keep your community clean of people you think will be "trouble", what even is there about the internet term you want to correlate? all it achieves is appearing to tainting yourself with the stink of actual gatekeeping, and i doubt you want that.

This is the most perfect encapsulation of Quora that has ever existed. You've got the questions that are either trolling or truly deluded, followed by the answer that takes the question so seriously that they somehow end up looking worse than the person who asked the question in the first place.
Yeah and as other people have said in this comments section it's also a really efficient way of getting answers to homework just ask the internet a question and make a statement about it that is blatantly false and then just wait for some angry Nut Job to correct you
Quora is a great way to learn lots of information, just never the information you specifically asked for. I used to be a part of (and still browse) the Star Wars boards, and it generally goes like this: 1) Someone asks a question such as "What colour is Luke Skywalker's lightsabre?" 2) Someone else responds with 16 million paragraphs, giving an entirely canon-accurate summary of the Yuuzhan-Vong war. Included are several insightful parts about the characters and events that give even the lifelong fans new angles to look at. 3) You get to the end, and after digesting all this, realise they never even brought up Luke's lightsabre colour in passing.
There's also quite a lot of questions on Quora that are basically, "I did [something very,very wrong in the sense that no normal mind would think that was acceptable], and [someone close to them] hates me for it. What did I do wrong?" Most of them are troll users.
It’s kinda crazy looking at that question on Quora. There are so many replies from people who claim to have a BS, a master’s, or even a PhD in math who somehow do not see he’s talking about a proof by contradiction.
I mean, if that was his intended meaning, he could have said something like "I can prove that, if RH is true, then there exists a composite number that is prime" (or something like that) (from which it would follow that RH is false, since a prime number cannot be composite).
@@telanis9 …okay? I didn’t say that they would write something like this themselves, I said they should *easily* be able to tell what the person meant. Because they should. It’s pretty damn obvious if you’ve taken a couple proofs classes.
I don't know if this has been said, but it was probably a proof by contradiction. 1705542 is very obviously not prime, but he is saying he has a proof where assuming the Riemann hypothesis is true then 1705542 is prime which is a contradiction which means the Riemann hypothesis would be false (obvious over simplification).
I think its completely wrong either way. The Riemann hypothesis doesn't assert that all numbers that fall along the line are prime numbers. It just says that all prime numbers are on the line. It would make sense that Dana would assume he is trying to say that 1705542 is truly prime, because to attempt to disprove the hypothesis by contradiction, in this manner, is to fundamentally misunderstand the question.
@@downstream0114 Because by the time you know what the terms in the question mean, it can probably be assumed that you know an even number above 2 isn't going to be a prime number.
The funny thing was that they weren't saying that 1705542 is prime, but that the Riemann hypothesis (allegedly) return a false positive when you use it to see if it's prime
I love how all they really _needed_ to do was point out that 1705542 is an even number, but they went the extra mile and listed _all_ its prime factors 😂
I actually think they missed the point. OP is saying they found a flaw in the Reimann hypothesis and can prove that an obviously not prime number is prime. This implies that OP was able to use the Reimann hypothesis to prove a number (in this case 1705542) was prime even though we know it's not prime because it's even, which would therefore disprove the Reimann hypothesis with a counterexample. I don't know the math too well behind the theory, but reading up on it, it seems to be a nearly 200 year old theory that nobody has been able to prove or disprove, so OP could theoretically actually be on the verge of a huge mathematical breakthrough and the responder is calling him an idiot.
Guys, please, cut them some slack, The way I've interpreted this question is as them believing to have found a proof that 1705542 is prime, assuming the Riemann Hypothesis is true. This is clearly not the case, so we reach a contradiction. Now, (assuming consistency of mathematics) this must mean our assumption is wrong, and therefore it would follow the Riemanian Hypothesis is false. Note: According to the principle of explosion, assuming a false statement to be true, allows us to prove anything. Therefore, if the Riemann Hypothesis is false, it would certainly be possible to show 1705542 is prime assuming the hypothesis to be true. Moreover, this is not as far-fetched as invoking the principle of explosion, since there is a deep connection between the Riemann Hypothesis and counting prime numbers, so it is not inconceivable that a supposed contradiction following the Reimann Hypothesis, if false, would be found studying the primality of some numbers, although I do agree this is extremely improbable as it stands.
I just wanna say, there's a lot of meme dub channels that just read out memes and that's basically it, and like... Not only did you go out of your way to do a bunch of editing, but the editing MAKES this. Like it's 10 times funnier just because of the editing.

“Why does my ass itch?” Top reply Why does your ass itch? The more important question is why did your father leave. We have enough evidence to conclude that first and foremost your father at no point in time loved you and second of all that your father left when you were 3 years old. Old pictures of your mother and father clearly show a happy couple yet almost immediately after your birth your parents relationship began to sour. On 7 February 2004, when you were just 2 weeks old your parents had a long and painful argument concerning what your mother made for dinner that night as it was a Wednesday night your mom made a tomato pesto pasta as she does every week. However your dad blew up in a fit of rage which of course woke you up with you crying as your father repeatedly told your mother he hated her pasta and he didn’t want to eat it every week. Your mother being who she is tried to calm him down and ensure him that she could make something else. Unfortunately this wasn’t enough and at approximately 8 pm he left to drink some alcoholic beverages at the local bar where he drank for around 2 hours with George and Marcus (his work friends). This argument was not much of a big deal especially compared to the other arguments (which we will get to later). But your father’s change in personality just 15 days after your birth clearly showed something important. If we were to go back in time to 23 April 2003, your parents had an argument as neither of them seemed truly committed to the relationship after the argument your parents had intercourse in the missionary position and nine months and three days later (you were born late) you were born. This is important as although we don’t have a complete understanding of why your parents both believed the other wasn’t committed, we can say that their relationship was relatively mid and that they may have not seen a future in it. Now let’s go other an important question. If your parents relationship was truly this bad why didn’t your mother get an abortion? Well let’s look at your grandfather who was an outspoken Christian and conservative man, who was open about having never drank alcohol or used any kind of drugs. He met your grandmother when they were 15 and 16 respectively and married when she was 17 and he was 18. He raised your mother as a conservative and although she had fell into the middle ground over the course of her life she still believed in most of what her father had taught her before he was game ended in 1999. On 23 June 2007, your parents had their last ever argument with your dad returning home late and drunk at around midnight, they argued until roughly 2 am when he went to sleep on the couch. When your mother awoke at 7:30 am, she found that he was gone. She attempted to get in touch with his parents but they refused to give her any further information. It was apparent that he had also left his job as Marcus turned up at the house on 28 June to make sure your father was ok. Now that we have all the information we can confidently say that your dad left you because of a lack of experience in dating combined with you being an extremely fussy child that didn’t sleep anywhere near as long as most babies and would cry into the night and scream whenever you didn’t get your own way (so not much has changed).

Despite this being humorous, a lot of threads in Quora are like this. You post a question about a coin you found on the ground and some guy who claims to have a Ph.D in coinology points out the stupidity of your question without giving any answer related to your question.
@@Human-san But how do you get passed the foolproof "By continuing I agree that I am at least 13 years old and agree to Quora’s Terms of Service and Privacy Policy."?
Actually, that's Cunningham's Law. Murphy's Law states that "The amount of time spent of UA-cam is inversely proportional to the amount of bitches you get."
Worst part of quora is their complete inability to understand hypotheticals. One question I had was "If dragons were real, what sort of weaknesses would they have?", Which was apparently the wrong thing to ask given the number of "Actually, dragons aren't real!" And "It's your fantasy, make it whatever you want". I never did get an answer to my question. (I have no had plenty of answers, thank you everyone, but it has been a few years since I originally had the question!)
It really depends on the nature of the dragon. Technically speaking, even Superman can be real (physics-wise). But Superman, Plutonian and Homelander all work ENTIRELY DIFFERENTLY physics wise, despite having similar powers. It is a question of underlying physics. Example: A dragon breaking fire due to secreting a flammable compound, that, when exposed to air and ignition can work as a flamethrower….. OR a Dagon that does Godzilla-like nuclear blast. Both “breathe fire”, but the extent and limitations of either are entirely different. So, it depends on how you construct the underlying physics of said dragon - that part is true In this example, if you do the former, creating vacuum or a powerful wind-blower would be super useful to combat them. Likewise, their skin would just be normal lizard skin, that is all. But if dragon shares physics with Godzilla, there are no weaknesses. Just death. By definition it can cause nuclear fusion AND it’s body can take nuclear fission without turning to dust. There is no weapon on Earth that can surpass it. And it does not need air or water or to breathe or to work normally.
Yea reminds me of when I had a question about Christianity, googled it, someone had asked that on quora so I went to look for the answer and it was just… “well it doesn’t matter because god isn’t real”… answer the damn question
Well, that all depends on According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies away, because bees don’t care what humans think is impossible.
@@TheRepublicOfDixionconderoga Pissed off seems a bit extreme for a rando on the internet, not at all worth that much emotional investment. Annoyed maybe?
i love this, though in fairness i think the op was saying they used the RH to prove that number is a prime number, when its obviously not, therefor disproving the RH. i feel like they were just using the harmonics and didnt use enough zeroes though.
SO many questions on basically any platform are like this. The more I see these threads get longer the more I often see OP's question would be worded a bit weirdly or they just were bad at giving initial details. It just sucks that the insults almost always come first.
As another comment was saying, it still does not make sense as the RH just states that all prime numbers must fall on the line, but not that all numbers on the line must be prime numbers. And if he then proves the number is on the line even though it isn’t a prime, then he has in fact proven nothing.
We have been trying to disprove the Riemann Hypothesis for 160 YEARS and we might have had a chance but some professor decided to be a smartass and completely miss the point We could have had something great you know.
My favorite corner of Quora is the MENSA member circlejerk full of questions like “What are the most obvious signs of low IQ to someone who possesses a high IQ?”
and the people with the pretense of intelligence that pretend they’re in Mensa always have an IQ close to the room temperature in Celsius to the power of -5 divided by five tetrated
I was mensa while I was in uni since they offered grants, and the actual gatherings are pretty much like this half the time. The social groups/events a lot of autists who think they're better than everyone and actively avoid others who aren't mensa. Quite nuts. I remember a girl talking about how she dumped her bf cuz he didn't make it "this year", and the other's just accepted that as normal behavior and were gossiping about so called signs of lower intelligence he may have exuded before. The people who aren't like that usually just don't go to the social events so... that leaves an interesting selection of people that actually show up to those gatherings. The whole thing is only good for yoinking a few business connections.
I love Quora. It's like the mid parts of reddit and the worst parts of twitter and facebook had a uniquely deranged baby. It was the only social website my school didn't block. I made my first account when I was 14 out of desperate boredom. I still check it regularly 4 years later...

And 2: "I lost a game of Uno so I skinned my family alive. Did I overreact?"

Honestly, everyone focuses on the 1705542 part, but literally never point out the Riemann hypothesis part as if it doesn't have any meaning to the rest of the sentence. Is proof by contradiction not a thing anymore? (The quora user probably doesn't have a proof anyway, because it's quora)

Quora is a great way to learn lots of information, just never the information you specifically asked for. I used to be a part of (and still browse) the Star Wars boards, and it generally goes like this:
1) Someone asks a question such as "What colour is Luke Skywalker's lightsabre?"
2) Someone else responds with 16 million paragraphs, giving an entirely canon-accurate summary of the Yuuzhan-Vong war. Included are several insightful parts about the characters and events that give even the lifelong fans new angles to look at.
3) You get to the end, and after digesting all this, realise they never even brought up Luke's lightsabre colour in passing.

I mean, if that was his intended meaning, he could have said something like "I can prove that, if RH is true, then there exists a composite number that is prime" (or something like that) (from which it would follow that RH is false, since a prime number cannot be composite).

I don't know if this has been said, but it was probably a proof by contradiction. 1705542 is very obviously not prime, but he is saying he has a proof where assuming the Riemann hypothesis is true then 1705542 is prime which is a contradiction which means the Riemann hypothesis would be false (obvious over simplification).
I think its completely wrong either way. The Riemann hypothesis doesn't assert that all numbers that fall along the line are prime numbers. It just says that all prime numbers are on the line. It would make sense that Dana would assume he is trying to say that 1705542 is truly prime, because to attempt to disprove the hypothesis by contradiction, in this manner, is to fundamentally misunderstand the question.

I actually think they missed the point. OP is saying they found a flaw in the Reimann hypothesis and can prove that an obviously not prime number is prime. This implies that OP was able to use the Reimann hypothesis to prove a number (in this case 1705542) was prime even though we know it's not prime because it's even, which would therefore disprove the Reimann hypothesis with a counterexample. I don't know the math too well behind the theory, but reading up on it, it seems to be a nearly 200 year old theory that nobody has been able to prove or disprove, so OP could theoretically actually be on the verge of a huge mathematical breakthrough and the responder is calling him an idiot.

Guys, please, cut them some slack,
The way I've interpreted this question is as them believing to have found a proof that 1705542 is prime, assuming the Riemann Hypothesis is true. This is clearly not the case, so we reach a contradiction. Now, (assuming consistency of mathematics) this must mean our assumption is wrong, and therefore it would follow the Riemanian Hypothesis is false.
Note: According to the principle of explosion, assuming a false statement to be true, allows us to prove anything. Therefore, if the Riemann Hypothesis is false, it would certainly be possible to show 1705542 is prime assuming the hypothesis to be true.
Moreover, this is not as far-fetched as invoking the principle of explosion, since there is a deep connection between the Riemann Hypothesis and counting prime numbers, so it is not inconceivable that a supposed contradiction following the Reimann Hypothesis, if false, would be found studying the primality of some numbers, although I do agree this is extremely improbable as it stands.

“Why does my ass itch?”
Top reply
Why does your ass itch? The more important question is why did your father leave. We have enough evidence to conclude that first and foremost your father at no point in time loved you and second of all that your father left when you were 3 years old. Old pictures of your mother and father clearly show a happy couple yet almost immediately after your birth your parents relationship began to sour. On 7 February 2004, when you were just 2 weeks old your parents had a long and painful argument concerning what your mother made for dinner that night as it was a Wednesday night your mom made a tomato pesto pasta as she does every week. However your dad blew up in a fit of rage which of course woke you up with you crying as your father repeatedly told your mother he hated her pasta and he didn’t want to eat it every week. Your mother being who she is tried to calm him down and ensure him that she could make something else. Unfortunately this wasn’t enough and at approximately 8 pm he left to drink some alcoholic beverages at the local bar where he drank for around 2 hours with George and Marcus (his work friends). This argument was not much of a big deal especially compared to the other arguments (which we will get to later).
But your father’s change in personality just 15 days after your birth clearly showed something important. If we were to go back in time to 23 April 2003, your parents had an argument as neither of them seemed truly committed to the relationship after the argument your parents had intercourse in the missionary position and nine months and three days later (you were born late) you were born. This is important as although we don’t have a complete understanding of why your parents both believed the other wasn’t committed, we can say that their relationship was relatively mid and that they may have not seen a future in it. Now let’s go other an important question. If your parents relationship was truly this bad why didn’t your mother get an abortion? Well let’s look at your grandfather who was an outspoken Christian and conservative man, who was open about having never drank alcohol or used any kind of drugs. He met your grandmother when they were 15 and 16 respectively and married when she was 17 and he was 18. He raised your mother as a conservative and although she had fell into the middle ground over the course of her life she still believed in most of what her father had taught her before he was game ended in 1999. On 23 June 2007, your parents had their last ever argument with your dad returning home late and drunk at around midnight, they argued until roughly 2 am when he went to sleep on the couch. When your mother awoke at 7:30 am, she found that he was gone. She attempted to get in touch with his parents but they refused to give her any further information. It was apparent that he had also left his job as Marcus turned up at the house on 28 June to make sure your father was ok. Now that we have all the information we can confidently say that your dad left you because of a lack of experience in dating combined with you being an extremely fussy child that didn’t sleep anywhere near as long as most babies and would cry into the night and scream whenever you didn’t get your own way (so not much has changed).

Worst part of quora is their complete inability to understand hypotheticals. One question I had was "If dragons were real, what sort of weaknesses would they have?", Which was apparently the wrong thing to ask given the number of "Actually, dragons aren't real!" And "It's your fantasy, make it whatever you want".
I never did get an answer to my question.
(I have no had plenty of answers, thank you everyone, but it has been a few years since I originally had the question!)
It really depends on the nature of the dragon.
Technically speaking, even Superman can be real (physics-wise).
But Superman, Plutonian and Homelander all work ENTIRELY DIFFERENTLY physics wise, despite having similar powers.
It is a question of underlying physics.
Example:
A dragon breaking fire due to secreting a flammable compound, that, when exposed to air and ignition can work as a flamethrower…..
OR a Dagon that does Godzilla-like nuclear blast.
Both “breathe fire”, but the extent and limitations of either are entirely different.
So, it depends on how you construct the underlying physics of said dragon - that part is true
In this example, if you do the former, creating vacuum or a powerful wind-blower would be super useful to combat them. Likewise, their skin would just be normal lizard skin, that is all.
But if dragon shares physics with Godzilla, there are no weaknesses. Just death. By definition it can cause nuclear fusion AND it’s body can take nuclear fission without turning to dust. There is no weapon on Earth that can surpass it. And it does not need air or water or to breathe or to work normally.
Yea reminds me of when I had a question about Christianity, googled it, someone had asked that on quora so I went to look for the answer and it was just… “well it doesn’t matter because god isn’t real”… answer the damn question
Well, that all depends on

The people who aren't like that usually just don't go to the social events so... that leaves an interesting selection of people that actually show up to those gatherings. The whole thing is only good for yoinking a few business connections.
Biggest sign of an overinflated ego:
Joining MENSA.
Possible also a sign of an arrogant person who thinks they're smarter than they actually are.
There are flat earthers in MENSA.

I love Quora. It's like the mid parts of reddit and the worst parts of twitter and facebook had a uniquely deranged baby. It was the only social website my school didn't block. I made my first account when I was 14 out of desperate boredom. I still check it regularly 4 years later...
I get spammed with notifications on my phone that, if I took them remotely seriously, would eradicate my faith in humanity on the regular. I'm convinced only trolls use that site.
@Harkz0r yeah I get spammed lots of posts about IQ because I looked at 1 post
And a strange amount of incest
Atleast some of the people there have human intelligence
@@mistypeaks1375 you'd be surprised
the biggest thing i learned from this comment section was the 727 meme

I used to use Quora a lot in high school and this was basically the experience
Wikipedia would grant smarter answers than Quora, and that's too much to say
Now it is filled with memes, and emojis...and scam promotions
@@lenoirx LOL, you can ask what colour is an apple, on Quora, and you will have people write down an essay on their life story and their obsession with apples, the Biblical meaning of the apple, or the eye colour perception or some shit xd;
the last sentence is always gonna be along the lines of "the apple is what you feel like it is" "there are a lot of apple colours" "unless you painted the apple pink, or..." and etc.

"I have 225 Iq, is it enough to graduate from high school?"
"The Book of Idiots" is a good read: insightful, thought provoking, full of wit and a mind blowing plot twist near the end. Highly recommended.
more like a mind-blowing plot twit lol
The book of gowzer is better thou
If the twist isn't that the book calls its reader the biggest idiot for buying the book instead of reading it in a library, I will feel like an idiot

Saw a quora post the other day asking: "My 15-year-old daughter got a B in class today. I took away her phone, laptop, TV, bedroom door, bed, pillows, and blankets away for 2 weeks. Should I have done more?"
link?
based, should have taken the bed too.
should have taken her life too
This isn't quite as extreme but this reminds me of when my dad forbade me from going to football club for the rest of the year just because I got 83% in one maths test.

It's such a great way to get info in forums. Never ask a question, just pose a wrong answer and pretend to be confident in it. People just can't stop correcting others they will immediately jump at the opportunity
Well, some people don't feel the urge to correct others; therefore you are completely, irrideemably, and absolutely wrong on that point.
(sarcasm & verbal paradox indicator; do not take my claim seriously)
This is called Cunningham's law. Though my answer isn't to correct you. I just love Cunningham's law. LOL!

I love how Dana, refers to themselves as “Just interested in math is all. Kinda a hobby.” to then proceed and ruin the life of the OP and the next several generations to come from them.
the insult was infantile and unwarranted. But then again, Dana is a filthy fem*oid
I'd be scared if I saw Dana on a dating site and she said about herself "I'm very passionate about relationships. Kinda jealous sometimes idk"

@@ActuallyDeath Having overwhelming calculative ability is... pretty boring
@@slimeykadenza9293 In exchange for knowledge, maybe I've lost something that is essential to being studious.
The fact that it's an even number should have made it obvious enough.
if it ends in 2, and it’s not just the number 2- it’s not prime. 2 itself is prime for the rules of a number being prime mean that x can only be divisible by x and 1, to form integers. if any other integer can be divided by x, then x is not prime. Knowing this, any number of x that ends with 2, can be divided by 2 to make a factor that ends with 1 or 6.
If you look the original comment over, you can tell they know this and it’s what the comment is based off. (It’s this prime number generator we don’t know if it really works, and OP, if right, would be proving it wrong, which would be a huge mathematical breakthrough). It’s about the Riemann hypothesis, not him thinking it’s prime.
Quora is a prime example of how internet can ruin good things
Wanna see what can reddit do?
Or the elitists of Stack Overflow.
It was a somewhat decent website, until they decided to promote memes and rage baits, and autogenerated dumb questions .
Quora is basically Stack Overflow for all topics (interesting tho is that I don't hear about this kind of problems on other Stack Exchange sites)
@@stacklysm
Same with reddit. Both sites are great for general information cuz you get so many stuck up nerds who won’t hesitate to show off their knowledge on the subject but as soon as you ask for anything subjective their opinions don’t really matter lol
Quora nowadays is just chock full of bait questions like "so my 14 year old daughter revealed to me that she actually likes someone at her school so naturally infuriated, I took away all her gadgets and locked her in our basement without food and water for 6 months. Do you think I might be overreacting or are my actions justified?"
Unfortunately, there is a tangible difference between asking your own fourteen-year-old daughter to spend a few extra hours in the basement in order to think about her recent behavioral issues, as opposed to forcibly locking up your neighbor's fourteen-year-old daughter (with or without food and/or water) in your basement for fourteen years (or even fourteen months; refer to _State of Kentucky vs. Mr. Creepy Pantz, 1964-1965_ ), because while these may sound like very similar circumstances and punishments, and while they're both indeed fourteen years of age, the law does make a distinction, press [F14] to continue, click control-alt-right to send all fourteen-year-old girls to the basement, SHIFT-resume, go back, exit. - j q t -
@@quill444 Man this comment got a laugh out of me, nice work
Nowadays? You act like Quora is 50 years old 😂
Agreed. I'm tired seeing notifications in my phone with nonsense.
The quora version of reddit AITA
wysi
number theory class shut down my brain 2763 times, personally i can't really blame them
90% of quora users pretend they have 5 phds and 9 nobel prizes, and also write 1 million characters long answers that usually don't make any sense
The fact that it was an even number had me ao confused from the beginning
nah i think the dude was trying to use proof by contradiction (using the Riemann hypothesis) to show that the number wasn't prime he just expressed his intentions really badly, the dana dude took it the entire wrong way and took it personally
Imagine knowing what Riemann hypothesis is
what is really interesting about this is that you really do not need the full prime factorization to prove it’s not prime- just pointing out it’s even is enough
I’m so glad people are talking about the tragedies that occur in Quora’s answers bc that website is something else 😭💀
It's like Dana is angry she never got any of her math published - so now she's venting her frustration onto people on Quora.
It's not like. In psychology, this is facts. Charged emotions expressed are projections.
I found her profile and a lot of her answers are similar to this one
Yeah, it really looks like she is usinh quora to vent our her frustations, she has around 9k answers, and a lot of them are in the same level than this one lol.
@@baloog8 Not every emotion. Like, if someone murdered your family and you got mad at them, that's not projecting. I know that's an extreme example, but it rings true for many circumstances. Not every charged emotion is a projection.
@@gymnasticsgirlie0647 I meant in jest but i understand your point and agree on some level.
Down to depths of Buddhism, the anger upon the murderer could be - anger and adrenaline to stop the next murder or point of pain which is not a projection or it could be the labeling of killing or the person as bad from our evolutionary and cultural conditionings about death which is a projection; not all humans especially yogis feel that way. For them, ultimately, the murder or mere fierce movement of form is an upwelling of our deep collective unconscious which is projected into this world.. but we as individuals at that even don't really exist.
That is not to invalid the individuated human side which could be like "you straight up killed my folks unprovoked you fuckin demon! I projected none of this!" .. that raw emotion and perspective is sacredly valid in that moment. I can go on.. but you get what I'm saying..
He just didn't know how to sell his results. It wasn't only a disproof of the Riemann hypothesis, it was the first discovery of an even prime number other than two, which mathematicians had previously thought impossible. It's much more significant!
