Calculator apps should have achievements, like “Pressed clear 5 times”, and “You could have done this in your head”.
“Did you really just add two single digits?”
Sometimes I do stuff that torpedoes my confidence so hard that, yes, I need to double check that
2 + 2really does equal3.~Today I relearned how bad I am with (de-)soldering, and wasted money on some hall effect joysticks for my now-trashed xbox controller. If you need me, I’ll be in the corner crying.~
Now I want a calculator app that insults you the whole time.
Well now I have something else to add to my pile of half completed projects. sigh
You just came up with a brilliant idea for a narrative game
Too bad I have absolutely zero idea how to make a game. Or an app. Or software at all, actually.
first you get a concept, then you write a story, then you put some branches in it, then you figure out how to code it and whether it’s plausible given current gaming/app tech. then you revise and repeat.
Coding would be the issue for me. The rest I could probably do though if I really wanted to.
Vibe code it
I’m not looking to be crucified by all of Lemmy.
LOL + LOL = hihi
707 + 707
Bet you were cheating
I like to laugh at dumb people as much as the next one. But on a more serious note:
Brains forget shit. And my unsubstantiated opinion is that that is what makes humans so great. We can learn easily, but on the flipside, anything that isn’t practiced regularly goes down the drain. Calculating things in your head is one of those things you just don’t practice regularly (and why would you?) So draw out your calculator for things like the square root of 1337 and keep your precious cerebral resources for shit that matters, like making furry porn.
Disregard arithmetic, acquire uwu.
I won’t deny I forget shit, as you say, but 99% (hang on, let me check that on my calculator) of why I look stuff up is to double check.
Most (but definitely not all) of why I use private browsing, for example, is because I’m looking up a tech question to which I know the answer, but about which I want to be certain before I make a git commit.
No one must find out how many times I far-finger the same number and new and inventive ways
Fart finger

Me so horny?
Not after 24 hours.
Sometimes even after 5 mins tho
I won a regional high school mathematical competition with items like “21+6” in my calculator history. It really helped to offload numbers to my trusty CASIO fx-85ES Plus and focus on the letters and logic.
Wait, you all are naughty too and totally ignore sig figs in your calculations?
I didn’t know this was such a depraved community…
Me asking GPT how to do simple Python and Perl stuff that are literally examples in the relevant language docs
Seriously, it’s counting all the fucking zeros that get me.
Damn it what was two plus three again i just cant remember.
24+/4=Err
Why is it embarrassing? What is diddy blud doing on the calculator? Hmm…?
