    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.

      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

      My coat does not require keys, so no

      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

      And yet you don’t even know how many steps your stairs had!

        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.

        Jokes on you, my toddler makes me count the steps each time we go up and down.

      It has even less pixels now too.

      source
      • SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        I think it probably has fewer.

        Inflation. Pixels cost less back then.

    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.

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

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

    there you go, another compression iteration

  • Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ 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.”

    source
  • db2@lemmy.world ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

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

    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.

      Yeah im not a parsnip.

      source
  • Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

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

  • Steamymoomilk@sh.itjust.works ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    FUCK YOU BUDDY!

    i didnt say your wrong

    Ive been played for a fool!

    : P

    source
  • ceenote@lemmy.world ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ 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.

    source
    • vateso5074@lemmy.world ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ 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.

    I read it the first time, didn’t see a letter, then second guessed myself because it said there was a letter lmao

    source
  • hperrin@lemmy.ca ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

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

        428 rnillionm?

        source
    • finitebanjo@lemmy.world ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Why did you write rnillion and not million?

      source
      • ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        1 rnillion = 10 million. Read the number.

        source
      • hperrin@lemmy.ca ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Because million would be incorrect.

    Is it bad I didn’t go back to look for the letter and just believed OOP?

    Like a letter in a number would be weird? Alge, bruh.

  • Xenny@lemmy.world ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I’ve been duped by a variation of this so many times I just keep reading through these with looking back out of spite.

    source
  • DarkCloud@lemmy.world ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    When I saw there was no letter, I knew what I was about to read. Also, I bet there’s already other comments conveying this.
