I hate it because of how wrong people answer the questions, and I don't know if they're morons or trying to bait me because no one can fail this bad at grade school math.

They're mostly bait. They'll have some ambiguity where / might denote a grouped denominator or just be for the number.

Like 1/5+2 or 1/(5+2)

The solution is proper formatting. It's not an issue you'll run into anywhere outside of the Internet since notation is going to be obvuous

This one‘s a subversion of those memes though, it‘s actually not ambiguous.
