See, your junior high math teacher was right: you might actually use this stuff sometime. Set theory in action, folks.
This is what the internet is for. Not porn, not cats. It’s for flame wars over insignificant things.
There are two guys arguing to start, but each one is a different man, so the three dudes are each having a discussion between each other. That’s four discussions if you count each direction as a separate direction. Thus five bros are actually arguing about how many days there are in a week.
I would argue that whether 7 ÷ 2 = 3.5 or 7 ÷ 2 = 4 is actually quite important. If it’s the latter we’ve got a whole lot of problems.
This flame war is obviously a result of the new Common Core math standards.

I don’t know where you get 5 guys from; more like 3-4. Plus, it is across like 6 posts, so it is about 1.8 guys/post anyway. Not a big deal. Did you fail 2nd grad math or something?
No no no you’re doing it all wrong. You’re supposed to call me terrible names and suggest I failed third grade. We can save the Nazi references for later if you’re not yet fully committed.
Does BoingBoing rate a higher erudition score if our recent argument were about mind-boggling fun with infinity?
Clearly this is important to the bodybuilders because…
(wait for it…)
seven days makes one weak!
Creatine, not even once.
I think i’ve seen similar argument quality from the gamergate crowd.
In all this discussion, let’s not forget that it began with someone saying that going every other day was 4-5 times a week. Not four, but four to five. Five, to quote Monty Python, is right out.
If only Adam Buxton were hear to read those comments out
7 Ă· 2 = 4 to one significant figure, which is good enough for just about anything. Did you flunk engineering or something?
… and so it begins 
Let the armies align themselves!
Pure math vs Applied math!
I shall fire the first volley thus…
Oh! Now we’re hearing from the engineer. I guess you couldn’t hack it in pure mathematics, eh?
It looks like they’re trying to fit an every-other-day workout schedule evenly into two weeks with an equal number of workout days per week. The assumption that evenness comes in units of weeks and not every-other-days is messing them up.
Looks like “gym brain” is an actual condition.
