Me, when I've spent fifteen minutes doing complex math: "Back of the envelope calculation, it's 76.284952601%."

I feel like whenever I convert between imperial and metric on the fly, it seems like this even though it's just fractions.

I always second-guess myself when I do those calculations, so I tell people not to take my word for it.

I don't even do math, I just run quick comparisons and crossreferences with common fraction tails and I am almost always right in the 1/32 to 2 inch range :'D

You know how for a few years, people on social media dunked on "wrong" ways to do math?

Yeah. Every single one of those is how I do math. And I'm both better and faster at math than most people, so...

I completely missed that trend, I think, but I did get told that me doing addition left to right is weird.
