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

No you don’t.
Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 2 weeks ago
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 2 weeks ago
Yeah, my first thought was it’s a, um, yeah, 4.8T. Then I realised my autism ruined the joke.

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.

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
MajorasTerribleFate@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
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.

Credibly_Human@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
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 2 weeks ago
And yet you don’t even know how many steps your stairs had!
Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago
Jokes on you, my toddler makes me count the steps each time we go up and down.
db2@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I read the number before it told me I didn’t read it. I accept btc.
lightnsfw@reddthat.com 2 weeks ago
I didn’t go back and look. I committed to not looking at it when you started bitching at me about it.
Pulptastic@midwest.social 2 weeks ago
I skipped at it, but I didn’t go back to read it or reread it. Ha!
Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 2 weeks ago
Fuck you, I’m not predicatable, I’m reliable.

Now listen here you little shit
Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago
Why did you write rnillion and not million?
hperrin@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
Because million would be incorrect.
ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
1 rnillion = 10 million. Read the number.
ceenote@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
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 2 weeks 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.
Eddbopkins@lemmy.world 2 weeks 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.

utopiah@lemmy.world 2 weeks 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.
