From WhatPort80

Divide by zero is yet another meme from the kind idiots at 4chan. It is said to be highly dangerous, containing the power to open up black holes, rend time, space, and mathematics to pieces and even cause the Chicago Cubs to win the world series (lulz they did!). It causes dozens of people to post either stupid reasons why you cannot divide by zero (which are usually wrong), or extremely stupid reasons why you can actually divide by zero. These /b/tards have not realized that the whole of mathematics and reality is against them. It is also a fantastic way to generate drama amongst numerophiliac idiots on the slashdot forums.

The common phrase is usually 'I divided by zero.'

Theories and Conjecture

Contrary to popular belief, dividing a constant by zero does not equal infinity. Dividing by zero is both impossible and meaningless POSSIBLE impossible possible but in a stupidly impossible way, especially if you are awesome at math really impossible. possible Srsly guys, don't even try.

Sometimes, catastrophic events can happen when you even only THINK about dividing by zero. Example:

:<RichLow> CAN YOU DIVIDE BY ZERO???
:<kardus> yes
:<kardus> watch
:<Not_Sir_Compuret_of_Computron> Yes.
:<kardus> OH SHI--

Division by Zero Possible?

Any number divided by zero should result in zero.

  X/0=0

A simple mathematic proof confirms that division by 0 is possible:

  4/0 = 4/0
  4/4 = 0/0

Put simply, a number divided into nothing leaves nothing.

OH SHI--

You did it wrong! I told you not to divide by zero! OSHII-- Pretty self-explanatory

NOT AGAIN! TIME PARADOX Einstein was the first person to successfully divide by zero. City workers are particularly adept. Windows calculator is still crap. OSHII-- Not even Math is safe. Ew, OVER FLOW A map This is what happens to you when you divide by zero.
