You're so predictable

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

It has even less pixels now too.

Inflation. Pixels cost less back then.

I think it probably has fewer.

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.

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 17 hours ago
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? Image

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.

Truly, its not all that funny because its like, yeah, Im reading a meme. Of course I dont pay attention to the details. This isn’t a large itemized bill
Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 18 hours ago
And yet you don’t even know how many steps your stairs had!
Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 16 hours ago
Joke’s on you I have known the amount of stairs in our house since forever. It’s 16 to the second floor and 5 into the cellar. I also realised that 16 is a really common number of steps for ascending 1 floor in residential housing.
howrar@lemmy.ca 17 hours ago
Jokes on you, my toddler makes me count the steps each time we go up and down.

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 10 hours ago
Yeah, my first thought was it’s a, um, yeah, 4.8T. Then I realised my autism ruined the joke.
Pulptastic@midwest.social 1 day ago
I skipped at it, but I didn’t go back to read it or reread it. Ha!

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.
Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
Why would I read the number? I saw the dollars and that it’s a lot, that’s enough context for me
ImWaitingForRetcons@lemmy.world 1 day ago
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 1 day ago
I did a cursory glance at the groups to see that it was 428 rnillion, so I think that’s enough.
finitebanjo@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Why did you write rnillion and not million?
hperrin@lemmy.ca 1 day ago
Because million would be incorrect.
ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 18 hours ago
1 rnillion = 10 million. Read the number.

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 1 day ago
Commas would have helped a bit, that way you could at least just count the commas or the more visible locks 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.
