It's gotten worse :(

      0 is a multiple of 3, because 0 times 3 is 0. Person saying 0 is a multiple of 3 is downvoted en masse, then someone says that 0 times 3 is 0 as if it is proof that 0 ISN'T a multiple of 3 somehow which makes no sense but is upvoted, and another person chimes in to confidently insult person who (correctly) said it is a multiple of 3 and also gets massively upvoted because redditors are mindless drones.

      Multiples of 3 are 3, 6, 9, 12, and so on. If you take 3 x N where N is a whole number then the answer is a multiple of 3. 0 is a whole number, and 3 x 0 = 0, so 0 is a multiple of 3 also. Redditors bad.
