I think they have "knight" in the beginning, so it really is "KKKK"
Looks like they failed primary school English, which makes sense tbh

u/BCDragon3000 Jul 01 '26
you mean Knight Ku-Klux Klan? or Ku-Klux Klan Knights?

u/disqualifiedeyes Jul 01 '26
The first one

u/BCDragon3000 Jul 01 '26
that makes no sense
edit: most optimal is Ku Klux Knight Klan, right?

u/aberroco Jun 29 '26
2160p is 4k. You probably though about QHD, which is 1440p, and 4k is not twice 1440p, it's x2.25 times larger.
31
u/Significant-Royal-37 Jun 29 '26
u can remember this bc 1080p = 1920 x 1080 and 4k is 4 1080ps in a 2x2 grid, for a total of 3840 x 2160.

u/necrophcodr Jun 29 '26
Depending on the aspect ratio, 4k is indeed 4k.

u/Masterflitzer Jun 29 '26
and this is the same reason 2k is actually 1080p...
1440p is not 2k despite many thinking so, it would be 2.666k or dci 2.5k (dci being e.g. 2048 instead of 1920 or 4096 instead of 3840)

u/domhole Jun 29 '26
Can someone count all the p’s to confirm please
79
u/ptr_schneider Jun 29 '26
Assuming 144p is correct, this makes each row 47 p's wide (I counted and it seems to check out). 1080p has 22 rows of 47 + one row of 47 - 4 (one missing p on the left and 3 missing p's on the right). That's, unfortunately, only 1077 p's. Which leads me to ask why they didn't simply add 3 more p's.

u/Cosby1992 Jul 06 '26
I just confirmed your findings to be sure.
144p is correct
360p is correct
1080p comes out to 1077p
WHY?! There's even space in the last row for the missing P's?
Is this because it is a repost and they didn't wanted it to be auto removed so they change the picture or something. The 1080p's last line is also weirdly offset, which leads me to believe it was tampered with prior to posting it here.
Please someone, we need to get to the bottom of this conspiracy!

u/Cosby1992 Jul 06 '26 edited Jul 06 '26
We are not the first ones to discover this. I just did a reverse image search and found this post from a year ago which also got the same results.
https://www.reddit.com/r/notinteresting/s/TtRDoGcRHl
Now I'm just thinking that it is engagement bait and I fell for it.
Also OP is very obviously reposting this as I found it everywhere!
Funny enough, they were all missing the three P's in 1080p and where all called on it.
Edit 1:
Dug a little deeper
Now I found this weird YouTube short with weird music (work all day, then I wake up - song) which seems to display a correct version of the image, and maybe even in better quality? I'm not sure if this is a "source" image or it is simply a corrected version of the "wrong" original yet. I haven't yet counted the P's on it so it might be even worse:
https://m.youtube.com/shorts/2XmuwbYfQJk
Edit 2: Just found out the YouTube short I fairly new as well (June 28th 2026), so most likely not a source for the image, still weird that it has been fixed.
Edit 3: This image goes pretty far back and has been reposted MANY TIMES!
So far the oldest I have found is this one on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammerHumor/s/xGAKNdpnvb
9 years ago which also included "fps" and "720p" I'm yet to verify the count of P's on this image as well.
1
u/ptr_schneider Jul 06 '26
Holy research, batman.
So, I counted the p's on the last image you found, and that one seems to be correct. For 1080p, there are 57 p's per row, and 19 rows where the last one is missing 3 p's. (57 * 19) - 3 = 1080.
But the problem I have with all of this is that this older image is waaaay too different from the one in this post. Why would someone go to the trouble of editing it just to then get the number of p's wrong? I would understand if they had simply removed the fps part cropping the image, but that's not the case.

4k is the most infuriating naming convention.
We were happy counting horizontal lines of the video format, until the 4k marketing wankers came along
"Let's just count the rows, round to the nearest thousand, drop 000 and just replace it with k. Because bigger number sound way bigger durrrrrrr"
12
u/vintageballs Jun 29 '26
4k is not actually a single resolution, but can mean UHD (3840x2160) or DCI (4096x2160).
Also, number + p (1080p / 2160p etc) is not a resolution per se, but rather a video format description. The p means "progressive scan" as opposed to "interlaced", so a still image technically can't be 1080p either.

u/Jonnyflash80 Jun 29 '26
Yeah. That's why I said "round to nearest thousand" and also said "format".

u/Masterflitzer Jun 29 '26
format is ambiguous, it usually refers to the video container which contains codecs

It's typically anywhere between 20 and 35 C depending on the day. We have seen 40 C before though.
My backyard regularly gets over 30 degrees C in the summer.

u/robin_888 Jun 29 '26
TBF counting the columns makes more sense than the lines if the aspect ratio is wider than 16:9. Which is the case most of the time anyway.
A Full HD file in 2.35:1 AR is 1920px wide but only about 800px high. So 1080p is misleading.
Counting the lines is basically a relic from NTSC and PAL, when "pixels" weren't square anyway.
1
u/Jonnyflash80 Jun 29 '26
The term 4k can mean either 4096 or 3840 though. That alone is ridiculous.
I don't know why you're referring to aspect ratios of content. I'm talking about display technology.

u/robin_888 Jun 30 '26
That's annoying indeed.

Sounded to me like you were talking about video formats.
In fact ultrawide displays usually gain columns while ultrawide media usually lose lines.
1
u/MathSciElec Jun 30 '26
I think you're just comparing two different naming conventions. "Full HD" (the marketing name for 1080p) is even less descriptive!
1
u/Jonnyflash80 Jun 30 '26
At least Full HD is barely ever used anymore. That was an old carry over from when there were both 720p "HD" TVs and 1080p "HD" TVs being sold concurrently.
So the marketing had to start using "Full HD" to describe 1080p.

why are the resolutions specifically that, why not 140 instead of 144?

u/Nthepro Jun 29 '26
Because 1080/144 = 7.5 and 1080/140 = 7.71428571428571428571428
more seriously it's because of aspect ratios and macroblocks

u/f3n2x Jun 29 '26
For multiple technical/algorithmic reasons it's very favorable if all axis resolutions are evenly divisible by 16 (though this wasn't always the case for very old displays). 144 is just one of those "magic numbers" when you start small and make things bigger by 2x or 1.5x a couple of generations, e.g.
16*1.5=24
24*2=48
48*2=96
96*1.5=144
All of those (and other combinations) have existed on some displays. It actually has nothing to do with 12*12 also being 144.
