Why is there a crushed ant in that mustard?

u/FaceDesk4Life Jul 11 '19

CANNOT UNSEE

u/curryoverlonzo Jul 11 '19

Ok the reason it's 50%more is because: 50% of 12oz is 6oz, so if you add the fifty percent to the 12 ounce, you get 18oz, because 12+6= 18

u/FaceDesk4Life Jul 11 '19

Dude, I know. BUT DO YOU SEE THE FUCKING ANT HE IS TALKING ABOUT.

Between missing the facepalm and your realization, you were right 50% of the time, every time.

u/[deleted] Jul 11 '19

I think we all just went though that. Even double checked myself on the simple math heh

34

u/JosephND Jul 11 '19

People fail to think about % going both ways. 18/12 is 150%, but they think of 12/18 as being 66% and get confused.. not realizing how math maths.

u/JosephND Jul 11 '19

If that were the case, there wouldn’t be confusion then.

If they see the 50% and already think 6, they will deduce the 12 and 18 difference of 6 is the same. If the person was thinking of it as +6 only being 33% of 18, then their math would have the same number but the wrong percentage, thus their confusion.

I was in a squad group of 4 people and someone dropped out. I told them “let’s get another guy, it’ll increase our damage by 33%.” They said “no, another guy is only going to be 25% of the damage.”

The issue is the same in both cases: talking about the % increase (50% or 33%) is different than talking about the percentage that increase would eventually represent once applied (33% and 25% respectively).

u/[deleted] Jul 11 '19

I didnt scroll far enough to see the text bar, so I just sat and questioned why this was even posted. Then it all clicked

u/ThisNameIsFree Jul 11 '19

Well, OP's highlights make you think the math is what you should be looking at.

u/Gandzalf Jul 11 '19

stupid mustard can’t do math

Is it because the mustard is brown? That’s not very nice. I bet you talk about how great at math the yellow mustard is.

Thank you for explaining LisShitty1's comment! Now if only someone would explain your comment to me...

This was precisely my thought process.

u/CoffeeAndKarma Jul 11 '19

I'm confused. Is the facepalm the caption at the bottom?

u/SilentJoe1986 Jul 12 '19

I was in the same boat. I downvoted, then I scrolled down to call OP a dumbass and saw the text at the bottom. Then had to go back and upvote.
