Does this math meme make sense?

I saw this meme posted on Facebook and I don’t understand. According to the comments, I am supposed to interpet this as 2\^18 = 262144, but why the square root? Also I thought that when it was a “power tower” of exponents like that, you worked from right to left, in which case it would be a ridiciously big number and certainly not be 262144?

Anything after the 1 can be ignored as 1 to any power is 1.And you can ignore the 1 because anything to the power 1 is itself

So it’s the square root of 2^6^2. or 2^36

square root of 2^36 is 2 ^18 so yes – 262144
