Pedmas/bodmas/bedmas is pretty worthless IRL

I have literally never once seen anyone write an equation irl that they did not intend to be solved from left to right, but more and more calculators are assuming that your some soy unicel who wants fairy math

I had to do 12 * 5 * 6 + 3 * 30 the other day to count how many eggs I had collected (5 pallets of 12 stacks of 6 trays, plus 3 loose trays, 30 eggs per tray) and with bedmas that's 450. In reality it was 10890.

Unironically the reason my boss makes new hires use the dumb calculator she leaves in the barn instead of their phone/doing in their head

There's your problem. It exists to make polynomials look pretty when written. There's a reason they wait until high school to teach that shit. Codecels that write calculator apps all think they're so smart when they include this stuff.
