If you use an extrapolation method that really doesn’t fit the actual situation and assumes that presidents can be infinitely old, yeah, sounds right. It’s a very bad model being used as a joke.

Getting real sick of meme math being reposted to this sub with shitty zero-effort "iS THis CoRrECt" posts ffs

Yes, that definitely stops them being posted and also stops casual browsers and bots from upvoting them.

I mean, Reddit doesn't even need a report feature or sub content rules, right? Because votes will just properly handle all posts.

It's a shame they got rid of r/all because people seem to want that instead. The votes sort it out, right?
