A TI-84 meme spits out -1/12 for 1+2+3+4+…

A photo of a TI-84 Plus CE shows a long sum starting with 1+2+3+4... and the calculator returning -1/12.
It plays on the famous divergent-series meme: the calculator is not actually “solving” the infinite sum in the naive sense, but the result is a recognizable internet joke among math and CS circles.
