Here's one I learned, it will make no sense to people who haven't finished algebra 1 yet:

x=1, y=1
x=y
x²=xy multiplying by x
x²-y²=xy-y² subtracting y²
(x+y)(x-y)=xy-y² using the special difference of squares factoring rule
(x+y)(x-y)=y(x-y) factoring the other side by pulling out y
x+y=y dividing by (x-y)
x=0 subtracting y from each side
but doesn't x=1? so 0=1

QED. can you find the flaw?

If x=y, what is the value of (x-y)?
What is the only number that you cannot divide anything by?

0^0

Yes, I like this one, because 0 raised to the power of anything is 0, but anything raised to the power of 0 is 1. So what is 0^0?
0? or 1?

0^0 ~ nothing has no power
