Great, now I want to re-watch Lost

[–] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 1 points 2 days ago

No you don't.

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 67 points 3 days ago (2 children)

This pic is so old I actually knew there wasnt a letter in it

[–] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 25 points 3 days ago (2 children)

It has even less pixels now too.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

I think it probably has fewer.

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Inflation. Pixels cost less back then.

I didn't go back and look. I committed to not looking at it when you started bitching at me about it.

[–] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 9 points 2 days ago

Fuck you, I'm not predicatable, I'm reliable.

[–] mavu@discuss.tchncs.de 46 points 3 days ago (1 children)

HA! I got you!
I didn't go back, I just believed you!

Take that stranger! can't fool me!

[–] mad_lentil@lemmy.ca 11 points 3 days ago

Team apathy! 🙌

[–] SaltyIceteaMaker@lemmy.ml 15 points 3 days ago

hah! you owe me that sum of money i didnt read, as i didn't go back to check for the letter, therefore achieving a different result from your bet.

your hubris was your downfall

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 34 points 3 days ago

Jokes on you, I read the number and still went back to look for the letter.

[–] Eddbopkins@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

trick is on you, i read the entire four billion eight hundred fifteen million one hundred sixty two thousand three hundred forty two dollars. i expect that money wired to my account by the end of the year in USD currency.

[–] Part4@infosec.pub 15 points 3 days ago (7 children)

I mean predictable, but does it matter?

You were on the first floor at the top of the stairs and you needed to leave the house. So I bet you stepped forward and started to descend the stairs, didn't you? I bet you continued until you got to the ground floor didn't you? Then I know you grabbed your coat keys and wallet/purse/bag and left the house, right? You're so predictable.

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

why do i need to go down the stairs to leave the house when I'm already on the first floor? And what is ground floor?

[–] MajorasTerribleFate@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I bet you're from the kind of place that has the head of state and head of government be the same person. I mean, I am too, but I bet you also are.

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Well no, I’m just pretending. I’m from a country where the head of state is called Prince Pilsner. Also the US isn’t the only country that doesn’t use ground floor.

I, too, am speaking tongue-in-cheek.

[–] myotheraccount@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

My coat does not require keys, so no

there you go, another compression iteration

[–] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

Now listen here you little shit

[–] halvar@lemy.lol 18 points 3 days ago

angry upvote

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 22 points 3 days ago (1 children)

This one has never worked for me, because if I see a long number without commas or periods I have to stop and figure out. I couldn't hope to read that number until I solved to puzzle of whether is started with "million" or "billion."

[–] olafurp@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Yeah, my first thought was it's a, um, yeah, 4.8T. Then I realised my autism ruined the joke.

[–] Pulptastic@midwest.social 12 points 3 days ago

I skipped at it, but I didn’t go back to read it or reread it. Ha!

[–] db2@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago

I read the number before it told me I didn't read it. I accept btc.

[–] gerryflap@feddit.nl 4 points 3 days ago

Got me there

[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

I'm feeling lucky, might buy a lottery ticket later.

[–] utopiah@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

This kind of posts typically hint at how manipulable we all are... and it's true, but what they omit is the cost.

Readying a random meme and getting "pwned" by it typically gets you a good laugh. Sharing your bank details over the phone does not. So... what this kind of stuff does rather show how rational most of us are, namely we don't mind getting played if we have fun doing it.

[–] kelpie_returns@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Screw you, dude. Im freakin pissed now!

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 days ago

Why would I read the number? I saw the dollars and that it’s a lot, that’s enough context for me

[–] ConstantPain@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Are hyperbole a joke to you?

[–] ImWaitingForRetcons@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It’s predictable because that’s how our brains work- we need context to understand such large numbers, so until you have the context, you skip parsing it.

I won the bet. Please send me the money at your earliest convenience.

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I did a cursory glance at the groups to see that it was 428 rnillion, so I think that’s enough.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Why did you write rnillion and not million?

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 days ago

Because million would be incorrect.

That I have to go through and count the digits before I know how to say the number aloud (4 billion...) seems like a flaw with how we write numbers.

[–] vateso5074@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Commas would have helped a bit, that way you could at least just count the commas or the more visible blocks they space out, instead of counting each set of 3 digits one digit at a time.

There are more pragmatic ways to write numbers, though, depending on the need for specificity. If the lower digits are insignificant, simply writing 4.81 billion is easy, or 4.81e9.

[–] Jason_Ph03nix@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 days ago
[–] Steamymoomilk@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 days ago

FUCK YOU BUDDY!

i didnt say your wrong

Ive been played for a fool!

: P

[–] this@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 days ago

Jokes on you, I was too lazy to go back and look.

[–] Geobloke@aussie.zone 4 points 3 days ago

Haha my ADD meant I just slipped to the last part of the image and knew i could stop reading to out of spite
