Well I think the answer is
16
but people were arguing over whether it's
1
or
16
and some even thought
14
You stupid fuckers, you know who you are.

left to right first step is 8/2= 4
left to right second step is 4 x 4= 16 answer
or 8/8= 1 answer
i think top 2 steps are correct= 16

This is correct. The parentheses are throwing people off. Once the equation inside the parentheses is solved you have 8 / 2(4) which is the same as 8 / 2 x 4 … so you move left to right and end up with 16

8/2(4) = (8/2)4 or 8/2 x (4) = (8/2) x 4 helps to make it a bit clearer I think.

That fact that you even entertained anything other than =16 means you're not worthy of life.

I think it's one. I did the numbers in brackets first - 4. Then they have to be multiplied by the number outside the brackets which is 2, so that gives you 8. 8 divided by 8 is one.
