Positive and Negative Number Logic

why does multiplying two negative numbers equal a positive number doesnt make any sense >>15386022 (OP) # It doesn't make sense obviously. >>15386022 (OP) # >turn around >turn around again >wtf I'm facing the same direction >>15386042 # ok but then why doesn't multiplying two positive numbers equal a negative number >>15386053 # >don't turn around >don't turn around again >wtf I'm facing the same direction

A Pepe the Frog image appears in an anonymous forum thread asking why multiplying two negative numbers produces a positive number. The replies humorously explain the rule using turning around: turning around twice leaves you facing the same direction, while the punchline misapplies this logic to positive numbers and concludes they should produce a negative result. It is sent as an absurd joke about misunderstanding basic mathematics.
