'According to my calculations' is the latest hot take meme

No actual math required.

I'm no math whiz, but I know a calculator when I see one.

Twitter users have started drawing a cute little calculator out of numbers and dashes, and there's a small chunk of space for several words. It's the perfect place to express your hot take, so of course it's become a meme.

The tweets begin with "According to my calculations" and then feature the calculator, usually bearing some sort of juicy quip.

Let's take a look and see how they all add up.

1. Is hating Disney a personality trait?

2. Not to quote Panic! At The Disco, but, "Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?"

3. Save the whales.

4. Twitter really is one big fun house -- meant to be funny, but actually pretty scary at times.

5. Rachel is over your issues.

6. We'll take your word for it.

7. Retweet.

8. RETWEET.

9. Probably could've figured this one out for myself, no calculating necessary.

10. Of course, stan Twitter had to make their mark.

11. This one uses what appears to be actual math. Don't quote me, though.

12. A heartfelt calculation is the best calculation.

13. And here's one more. It's about sports. Math and sports. A most unlikely pairing.

I'm glad this meme exists because when it comes to hot takes humor should always be part of the equation.
