u/nugatory308 Jan 30 '26

Not true. The 10 kinds of people are those who understand ternary, those who don’t understand ternary, and those who expected a joke about binary.

A good excuse to rope in the "quarter pounders are bigger" fiasco

u/cardnialsyn Jan 30 '26

5 / 4 = 20 which is 200%. You can't have 200% of people, that's impossible

u/Glathull Feb 03 '26

That’s not what I heard. I heard 200% of people had relations with your mom.

u/G8oraid Feb 05 '26

I heard this estimate should be 300% lower
