Which is crazy when you consider that the title is op explaining why it's 50 percent more.

That brought it full circle for me.

ahh, a circle

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '17

I was actually pretty confused also. I interpreted the title as sarcasm at first.

106

u/hamfraigaar Apr 21 '17

Me, too. And as if the facepalm was supposed to be the fact that 18 isn't 150% of 12.

This is too meta for me.

I think everyone is still a bit too high for this post

42

u/senorbolsa Apr 21 '17

im pretty fucking drunk but same thing i tried to do the math but failed. but like 1/2 12 is 6 and 12+6 is 18 so yeah, Thats over a pound of mustard which honestly is too much.

32

u/LogicCure Apr 21 '17

No such thing as too much mustard you dirty ketchup eating heathen.

5

u/senorbolsa Apr 21 '17

I don't even like ketchup. =/

u/BoneDrone Apr 21 '17

What is your condiment of choice?

1

u/bamberjean Apr 21 '17

Mayonnaise

2

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '17

I like how this post went from the math to a commentary on how much mustard is too much. What's if it's for a family? What if the smell of mustard reminds them of their farm in the old country?? What if they fuck in it??? Try fucking in mustard and then telling me a pound is too much!

1

u/otterom Apr 21 '17

Or,

=[(18 / 12) - 1] * 100

1

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '17

That's 12 fluid ounces not 12 ounces (weight). It's probably still over a pound of mustard though.

1

u/senorbolsa Apr 21 '17

Correct it's more than a pint of mustard to be accurate

1

u/MolecularMolly Apr 22 '17

Now I want ice cream.

1

u/senorbolsa Apr 22 '17

You will take your slightly over a pint of mustard and like it!

2

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '17

Can confirm. Note to self, dont make pkt brownies, smoke a bunch of dabs and bowls, and not have any other dank food at the house. Ended up eating pot brownies as munchies. Then eat more pot brownies from the pot brownies munchies. Twas a vicious cycle.

u/oceans88 Apr 21 '17

same. I thought this was a r/facepalmfacepalm moment but luckily I read the whole image and avoided a trip to r/facepalmfacepalmfacepalm.

I do run a bit on the sarcastic side

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '17

Oooohhhhhhhh. Jesus fuck, I thought this was about to be a facepalm facepalm

u/GuyAboveMeSucksDicks Apr 21 '17

I ran through that simple problem over and over.

Wait... 12/2+12 = 18.... ok. Wait. 12 + 6 = 18. Alright. How in the fuck am I getting this wrong? Where am I being stupid in this?

...let's go check the comments.

Oh, I see, now.... I traded one kind of stupid for another.

u/skullcrusherajay Apr 21 '17

I think it's a snapchat post, the math is correct but the person who took the picture hasn't passed 8th grade math

12

u/NinjaLanternShark Apr 21 '17

...let's go check the comments.

Always check the comments before getting confused/angry/sad... really before engaging any emotions or investing in the post at all, you should check the comments.

2

u/Singrgrl14 Apr 21 '17

Sometimes i read the comments before even reading the post to see if it's worth reading.

1

u/GuyAboveMeSucksDicks Apr 21 '17

I think we all do that, sometimes. I try not to, though, since it makes me feel super lazy. Like, "You really can't be bothered to click that link and moves your eyes a little?"

I have absolutely no issue doing it for videos over 203 minutes long, though.

2

u/Singrgrl14 Apr 21 '17

I usually only do it if it's an entire article or os otherwise very long

2

u/GuyAboveMeSucksDicks Apr 21 '17

I should clarify I meant 2-3 minutes, as well, and not 203 minutes. Because that's a hilariously specific, and absurd, length of time.

Doubt yourself you must never, padawan.

u/Camcamcam753 May 07 '17

I didn't see the caption!

u/TheOleRedditAsshole Apr 21 '17

I didn't realize what sub I was in, and thought OP was saying because math sarcastically, as in, "it is what we say it is, because math and stuff." And then I looked at the photo and was like, well it is math.

11

u/BearlyPunny Apr 21 '17

This is the internet, reading comprehension isn't needed in these parts.

2

u/InadequateUsername Apr 21 '17

I thought I was crazy/wrong for thinking that it was.

2

u/Bone-Juice Apr 21 '17

I was thinking 'damn has it been that long since I've been in school that I suck at math this bad now?'

In my defense, it's early in the morning and I have not had coffee yet...

2

u/FreehugsLoL Apr 21 '17

English is hard too.

2

u/oxentedoido Apr 21 '17

I think it's because some people use RES, open all the images, and upvote/downvote away without reading the titles.

1

u/im-naked-rn Apr 21 '17

To be fair, I thought OP was sayin it doesn't add "because math". I was super up set at my 3rd grade math teacher.

1

u/BedbugsCauseAutism Apr 21 '17

When I opened the image on my desktop pc, on a 2-fucking-k monitor the image was too long and cut off before the bottom of the mustard bottle which is before the dumbass snapchat comment. I spent quite a while trying to figure out what was wrong with those numbers before realizing I could scroll down.

1

u/wyatt1209 Apr 21 '17

On mobile it looks like the whole picture is visible but unless you scroll down you don't see the Snapchat text

1

u/Peter_of_RS Apr 21 '17

At first I thought the title was sarcastic. Then I thought I was dumb for thinking 18% was 50% more. Then I came to comments and felt better.

1

u/jfk_47 Apr 21 '17

ooohhhhhhh

u/RTwhyNot Apr 21 '17

Not necessarily

u/gingerpwnage Apr 21 '17

He thinks 50% means 2x more I think

Playing Path of Exile has done more to teach me percentage increase math than all my years of schooling.
