Popmath youtubers: "123+456=123456 ๐ฑ" actual explanation depends on an obscure redefinition of numbers, + and =.
that, or you've accidentally used
stringinstead ofint๐In this case it depends on having base 1 with all digits being equivalent (i.e. 123 = 456 = 000).
So effectively 3 + 3 = 6, just counting digits.
~~No, in this system 3 + 3 = 33 or 66 or 12 or 11, etc. Basically any digit is equivalent 1 in normal base 1.~~
EDIT: I blame lack of coffee for misreading Serinus@lemmy.world comment
Yes they were correct.
123 + 456 = 123456 in base 1 (assuming all symbols are considered the same digit) would be equivalent to 3 + 3 = 6 in base 10.
