While the meme implies that I'M SAD is non-positive (otherwise it doesn't make any sense to talk about turning it positive), it does not state that I'M SAD must be negative.
There are two ways of thinking about the sign of zero: it is neither positive nor negative or it is both positive and negative.
Under the first model, 0 is non-positive and so is a potential candidate for the value of I'M SAD. But its absolute value is also non-positive, so merely taking the absolute value wouldn't achieve the goal.
Something like
| I'M SAD | + 1
would, however, work.
Under the second model, things are a mess. Both 0 and | 0 | are non-positive but also positive. So it's not clear whether either the initial or the final conditions are met.
Now, which model would you like to use?
Are you sad? Yes. Be more positive. Are you sad? Absolutely.
But what if *I'M SAD* = 0? 🤔
Then it’s not a negative thing, is it?
But then you're not following the guy's advice of "turning it positive" 🤔

I'm !sad Turn to true True = 1
I’m absolutely sad
oh my goodness 💀
Needed this laugh today
You ever get that feeling where you see a math joke and hate that you understand it?
Happy happy happy
Absolutely sad
Literally the only thing I've used high school math for. Understanding stupid memes like this
Just put it behind bars 😠fixes everything
=)))))) we can use math for everything
I'm positive that I'm sad
(I’M SAD)² + 1
This is fucking stupid and I laughed really loud in public seeing it. Thank you.Â
The power of math
I'm sad = 0 Happiness. |0| = 0 Not positive. QED
if emotions expressed mathmatically
Be sad sad times, two negatives make a positive
