I think it's because people want patterns to exist even where they don't. But this one is extra sensitive. The declaration becomes even less interesting in non-base-ten systems. I'm not even sure why 225 would be intuitive to anybody. I guess that's what makes it a shit post.
I mean the top level post is just incorrect, this is a shitpost making fun of people who aren’t capable of basic calculus. I don’t wanna be like the c/whoosh gal but obviously 550/2 = 225 it’s almost ridiculous that this whole post became so big because of people thinking they know better
I don’t know where you got your doctor from mister but it certainly isn’t in mathematics. The post is making fun of people like you defying the laws of basic calculus.
Oh shit, I was gonna block the poster because this is absolutely shit even for shit posting. But then its him and I'd lose like 30% of lemmy.world content.
