there's a reason why the sentence "how the abacus got us to the moon" has never been used much before

I have an autistic reddit-tier math shrine in my kitchen. A slide rule, a nice little soroban, a go board with the spiral pattern from the flick ?, a Connect Four board with a symmetric pattern which has ended in a draw and which can be expressed via a simple numeric pattern, and an old protractor.

What's better, a harmonica or a baseball bat?

You realize they are made for completely different tasks. An abacus is for basic arithmetic while a slide rule is more versatile and can do more advanced operations.

Neither would be of any use to OP since they have nothing to do with sucking dick.
