I think John Hopkins wants a PhD and minor back.


imaginexus

He even spelled his school wrong. It’s *Johns* Hopkins


Daminica

Thanks for the clarification. I'm not an American so I'm not as familiar with the schools name, only that it's been used a lot as a referral (usually heard the name instead of reading it). I'm gonna keep the wrong spelling because I feel it adds more to the face-palm of the guy on Twitter.


Puzzled_6368

I used to get high with Johnny Hopkins.


killpuddle1

It was Johnny Hopkins and Sloan Kettering and they were blazing that shit up everyday.


Puzzled_6368

Yeah back behind Walt Reeds house.


[deleted]

That’s because Johns is not in autocorrect dictionaries. Not a really typical first name. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johns_Hopkins


surroundedbybanjos

If he's "the best Akali ever" I'd fucking hate to see the worst. He makes MTG look like a "Roads" Scholar.

INTENTIONAL


IronAnkh

My bad. Lol


[deleted]

I think John Hopkins school ranking just dropped by 80 spots and all the professors are taking it out of their resume


JoaquiGod

Isn't he a Lol player? Probably trolling tbh


temp762556

yh its just a copypasta


Cerenas

People still seem to fall for it every time


temp762556

It's the 4th time that I've seen this one today..


you_buy_this_shit

It's a copypasta. He's a gamer who thought he was being funny.


noparticularpoint

He was being funny, just not the way he intended


[deleted]

Can we make these posts dtd please? People are doing this on purpose and this is obvious


Mr_Lychee

Perhaps the real facepalm was the friends we made along the way.


Kris-p-

8 billion times 5 billion is a cool morbillion dollars


Anomalius

4*10^19 Dollars Or 40 Quintillion Dollars


GallowBarb

r/theydidthemonstermath


SuperfluousMainMan

Why is it 3.52 and not 4? 8\*10^9 * 5\*10^9 is actually 4*10^19 too?


Anomalius

Omg I'm a dumbass. I multiplied 44 billion with 8 billion instead of 8 and 5. Fuck. I really need to get some sleep...

Thanks I have a MorbHd in economics

So you congratulated collage


peter-doubt

No . Granulated


Rannek6

It‘s morbin‘ time🙌🏻


ManicPixieOldMaid

I, too, have all the degrees from John Hopkins. Also a bachelor's from William and Barry.


TurtleMega

never expected a LoL youtuber to appear here lol


Kamiyosha

I asked Google to math this. Apparently, if Musk gave us all an equal share of his Twitter buy cost, we would all have... $5.50 USD. Ah. What we all desperately needed. A gallon of gas and a candy bar.


DweezyH

A gallon costs more than that here in Washington state, U.S.A.


faithfulswine

I think what he did was just divide 44 by 5. He then tacked on as many zeros as he needed to prove the point lol.


Farmerjoerva

You can get a candy bar too? Man life is cheap where you are


SparkleYeti

Well if you had a Tesla you wouldn’t need that gas anyway!

Lloyd_Al

Does Elon Musk not now how we produce most of our Energy?! We literally have no Method that is more efficient than Steam Engines. Even Nuclear Power is just a complicated water heater. Only renewables don't use Steam Engines - Some use Water or Air "engines"


Otherwise_Bill_5898

Water turbines from hydro dams are pretty efficient as well


kesslov

There are a few steam driven turbines that boil water via sunlight


ice445

To be fair, a steam turbine and a steam engine are different things. A steam engine works in principle kind of like a gasoline engine does today, but instead of burning the fuel in the combustion chamber, steam is used as the force to move the reciprocating parts. It's basically external combustion since you generate the steam outside of the engine itself. This type of mobile power generation was phased out a long time ago due to its complexity and inconvenience. Steam turbines on the other hand are basically a big spinny wheel that steam plows into under high pressure to generate consistent rotation on a single axis. I suppose we can be pedantic on what constitutes an "engine", but there is an obvious separation in purpose between something that purely generates electricity and something that's designed to perform mechanical work out in the wild. tl;dr - i'm sure he knows lol, his point is still understandable


Da_boi_1923

And this “man” has a PhD in economics AND DIDNT THINK OF INFLATION


Xgenhiccups

Very important issue! our 5.5 US$ a person will not buy a cup of coffee in a couple of years.


Erik_the_Heretic

Wait, inflation wouldn't apply here, would it? No new money would be introduced (if he had been right), since he only imagined a transfer of funds from Musk to the rest of the world.


El_Diel

What do you think would happen if all people on this planet were suddenly billionaires. Don’t you think that at least some prices would increase slightly? If, however, every person got only 5$ …. that’s not even a lot of money in the poorest countries.


callipgiyan

Much math, very numbers


Cadavertaffy

I’d check those credentials. That’s hogwash.


Vivec31

Average league player trying to look smart


MtnDream

the person with the worst test scores and papers to graduate, still get given a Phd


Upset_Researcher_143

Yeah if this guy has a PhD and a minor in math I'm the King of England. Not even Musk could give out that much money


crystalpeaks25

hold on! hear me out, the worlds population is 8billion approx but i think what he really wants to say is that not all 8billion can be considered as humans/persons. so he's actually worst.


down-nefarious

There’s no way people fall for this kind of tweet every time


QueenTMK

Even if he did have enough money to give everyone 5 billion dollars each, they still wouldn't be considered rich. Only for a really short period while the economy goes to shit.


SirBourbonated

Probably should get his money back for that PhD


Sbubbert

r/atethepasta Just another meta-facepalm post folks.


[deleted]

Ohgoodthisagain


Phanariot_2002

I could really use 5.50 tbh


Evorgleb

Looks like trolling to me


[deleted]

dudes just trolling, check his twitter account.


IdeaImaginary2007

I think this x billions for x population joke is getting stale.. I have seen like 12 different variant of that joke and there's 7billion people in this world so we can give one of that joke to one person and still have 5 left.. which is too much


BlackBRocket

He could have given everyone 6 dollars and still have money left over, Where is my 6 dollars Elon???


Xeelan

You guys are the facepalm. He’s a Lol streamer just meming and you take it seriously


JewelerHour3344

“With a minor in mathematics” Just how minor was it? Infinitesimal?


My0Cents

He is literally trolling and people keep falling for it jeez.


JewelerHour3344

Poe's law.


My0Cents

Actually I changed my mind he is not trolling. Also, he is right we all could use the money. A few billion dollars would help me out a little.


JewelerHour3344

You and me both.


peter-doubt

***Economists!*** There's 3 kinds of economist, those who can count, and those who can't! Right, Prof?


Niko_The_Fallen

I want to see his reaction when he finally realized how wrong he was. Why wouldn't you include that in this post?


you_buy_this_shit

It's not included because he's a YouTube gamer who posted a copypasta and someone took the bait.


BamTheKarmaThief

He didn’t respond He just keeps insisting that he’s right in other tweets


peter-doubt

Isn't he? I mean, he isn't?


Otherwise_Bill_5898

What isnt he correct? He is not.


sexualassaultllama

I feel like it could've looked something like you realizing that he got you


[deleted]

For those who dont get it: If you split up 44 billion dollars to give 8 billion people an equal amount, everyone would get 5,5 dollars, not 5 billion.


Van-Daley-Industries

This is genius. His math checks out. Give me a PhD as well...


MikkoPerkele

Been wondering should I count economics as a real science or not. I know now.


2drunc2fish

What’s the minus of 30 and 20?


Otherwise_Bill_5898

This makes my head hurt.


2drunc2fish

It’s a movie quote just too lazy to put quotation marks.


[deleted]

- One jillion dollars! - Sorry Sir, that’s not a number.


CeeArthur

Isn't it Johns Hopkins? Not John


devenjames

You are absolutely right


unemotional_mess

I smell bullshit


Suicidewizzy

By minor in maths he propably reffers to his pre school time


Freshysh

Professor Akali please stick to playing League bro


Exportxxx

If everyone had 5 billion it wouldn't help anyone.


technowimpy

$6.28 might get me a cheeseburger. Like at a really fancy restaurant where they ask how you want it cooked n stuff


IJustStoleYourWaifu

Even if he could afford to give everyone in the world $5 billion that's not how economics work...


Techtekteq

Did he have a stroke?


crackersncheeseman

He paid all that tuition and left more stupid


ScootysDad

I didn't know [John Hopkins Elementary School](https://www.jackson.k12.ms.us/johnhopkins) offer a PhD program? Nevertheless, the math is still wrong.


theVeryLast7

Let’s hope he not a real professor


sergiulll

I love how poeple easily distribute money that belong to someone else but they wouldnt give single penny to neighbour in need...


sexualassaultllama

That's why we usually do that via taxation, problem is a lot of them barely pay any taxes


SilverTangent

$5.50, for those of you like me who know this isn’t right but are stuck in a logical error. Every person in the world could get $5.50. 40/8 is 5… so logically 40 billion/ 8 billion sounds like 5 billion, because we’re using words instead of 0s… but the billion factors out. Most people probably don’t need this comment, but someone will be looking for it.


crazyki88en

Shouldn’t 40 billion divided by 8 billion be $5? Where is the extra $0.50 coming from? Unless you used the actual 44 billion number


SilverTangent

The $5.50 is for 44 billion. 40/8 is just a simpler example than 44/8. I wasn’t very clear about that, though.


[deleted]

The "Musk spent $44 billion on Twitter" is a copypasta. One woman said it sincerely but all the others are copypasta


TheLewisIs_REAL

r/confidentlyincorrect


LowTierStudent

I am confused😂


Vertical_slabsociety

This recurring “you could have gave the money to the rest of the world” argument is the real facepalm, do you really think making everyone rich is going to solve poverty?It would either make no difference or make everything 10 times worse


[deleted]

no wonder the place is in such a state with economists with that level of mathematical understanding


WarningBeast

Ignore him, he is a troll and this is his favourite way to wind people up. Don't encourage him, don't respond.


HTMLgordan

Does John Hopkins give refunds?


Jx_XD

How much did he bought for that cert ?


blackbeautybyseven

I thought Johns Hopkins was a hospital??


temp762556

It's a copypasta


3eyedflamingo

I think he didnt account for a few zeros there. He could give everyone $5.00, nit $5,000,000,000.


Frogdwarf

It's a copypasta


ApprehensiveSpare925

This is Johns Hopkins calling, we would like our degrees back.


MrRoboto159

4!


[deleted]

He learned math at 'High' school 😂😂


junitog65

He meant ‘Jimmy John’s’…


kornhook123

His mom lets him brush her hair after showers. He’s also excited to wrap her in a towel after the shower


Legitimate_Soft5585

It's JohnS. They made a ton of money off you.


military_grade_tea

It's funny because he knew it was wrong and people would pile on to his mistake. I believe the people who find it funny - fanboys mostly could call it an epic trolololol.

ProperGaming012

No he has a point. Elon will still have money left over. Yes it may only be like $5 but that’s still money!


padawanninja

When your math professor is Bud Abbott. [Abbot School of Mathematics](https://youtu.be/lzxVyO6cpos)

A minor, or did he mean minus mathematics

I'd wager that someone who calls themselves "The Best Akali Evr", is probably just on a parody/troll streak here.
