"But what if you have to write a job application letter?"

Well, Ms Sullivan, you were WRONG.

"It's so you can do the math even if you don't have a calculator available"

"Oh, like literally never?"

[–] TheFriendlyDickhead@lemm.ee 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's still pretty useful to do simple math in your head. For example chicken adding a few numbers together or multiplying something. In general stuff that would take longer to type in than just calculating yourself.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world -4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If it's not important enough to take a few seconds to a minute typing it, it's not important enough to use a skill that's severely atrophied from decades of intentional disuse 🤷

It's pretty useful guessing how much you need to pay when picking multiple products in the supermarket

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Again, you can do that on your phone calculator. Hell, most grocery stores even have self scan apps if you want to go a step further

[–] Cenzorrll@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

That sounds like an incredible amount of work vs just adding rough estimates together. I can add two numbers in less time than it takes to reach into my pocket.

[–] newIdentity@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Well not in germany

Except when you're in prison.

[–] zuhayr@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

[–] Sharkwellington@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

Okay, Prison Mike.
