For preserving the least toxic and most culturally relevant Tumblr heritage posts.

Image descriptions and plain text captions of written content are expected of all screenshots. Here are some image text extractors (I looked these up quick and will gladly take FOSS recommendations):

I do, because 9 plus anything is just a 1 in front of the other digit minus 1.

Weirdly enough, I just thought about using the methods here for the first time in my life earlier today. Weird.

This is also how it works in my head, but isn't it the same as the other guy was saying, 10+6?

The difference would just be how you think of the process. I sometimes shuffle around the numbers to make math easier, but the shortcut for adding 9s just feels different. Instead of 9+7 = 10 + 6, it's more like 9+7 = 17-1. It feels less like solving it with math and more like using a cool trick, since you didn't really use addition to solve the addition problem.

Sort of, same numbers different logic. Its like mixing up the order of operations. You could learn both tricks but it seems redundant if they do the same thing. Like having two of the same hammer.
