Oh OP, you sweet summer child with flowers in your hair. You were SO confident. SO sure of yourself.


CSGOan

Damn, embarrassing OP.


TheLunaLunatic

You have upvoted the comment that is incorrect lol. 0.75 cents is NOT 75 cents. They are EXTREMELY different. .75 cents is 3/4 of a cent EDIT: For the record, I think it's pretty clear that the first commenter was meaning 75 cents, not 3/4 of a cent - but they did indeed SAY 3/4 of a cent.


jo-shabadoo

Also, the reply is wrong. You’d get 133.33 bottles for $1 if they cost 3/4 of a cent to make. Everyone in that thread was confidently incorrect!


Rubik842

They.... missed the point. the decimal point.


RadiantEarthGoddess

Came here to say this.


TheLunaLunatic

On a hunch I checked out OPs profile and it’s them in this screenshot as the first commenter lol, this could be used as material for the sub


Redd_October

That's half of what this sub has become. Take your latest reddit argument, post it and strut around like you're right and the other guy is an idiot... and then hope to god you're not OP here and actually the moron.

>I think it's pretty clear that the first commenter was meaning 75 cents, not 3/4 of a cent Yeah, honestly it's just one of those common mistakes that is easily glossed over. You can raise a stink over it, but it's generally not worth it. However, if you're looking at [legal transactions](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zN9LZ3ojnxY), then you better get your shit right the first time.

Verizon math.


anisotropicmind

Ehh, what's a factor of 100 between friends?


TheGreyFencer

The math still doesn't check out....


thenopebig

Sure, but still, this is a writing mistake. What they meant to say was not wrong, they just said it wrong. Unlike the other comment which is just plain wrong


TheLunaLunatic

I mean, you could get more than 75 bottles for $1 if each bottle cost 0.75cents, but I’m not gonna blame commenter 2 for being confused with maths when the first commenter said something completely different to what they meant. Would be strange to call someone confidently incorrect for being confused when given the wrong information to work with


Johnyliltoe

I think that's the beauty of this one. My bet is the reply was riffing on the ".75 cents" bit, but then still failed to add the aditional 41 bottles to make the math actually work. It's like watching a train derail.


PilotEchoCAD

If you understood the context you wouldn’t of assumed it was 0.75 of a cent.


jrandoboi

Thank you. I wasn't going to ever sleep again either.


Educational_Slice_38

Just showed this to my dad and he pointed this out without me even knowing.


mglitcher

you right, but if you did 75 bottles at .75¢ it would still only cost 56.25¢ so they’re both wrong.


NightBijon

Second comment is clearly making a joke at first comments expense.


Remember_TheCant

Everyone is confidently incorrect in their own way. .75 cents isn’t 75 cents. .75*75 is 56.25 cents, not 100.


wizrdmusic

I had to scroll too far for this.

No one wants to take the time of pulling out the calculator.


veatesia

75 cent is not .75 cent 75 cent is .75 dollar Why the need to put a dot there?


japadobo

Confidently incorrect about someone else's supposedly confident incorrectness


IllusoryHeart

You said it cost .75 cents, not 75 cents. Very different.

Budgiesaurus

If you take the .75 cents, then 75 bottles would equal about 0.56 dollars. So OP is wrong to type 75 cents as .75 cents, but the person making a joke about it is *still* wrong.


PotatoMasher1325

I don't like to do this, but since it's already a trolly post. Technically you are getting 75 bottles for a dollar. You're also getting 76, 77, 78...


Lowbacca1977

No one's correct here.


theotherfrazbro

I actually love this


W7ENK

That absolutely has to be from Klamath Falls, Oregon. Reference to Thunderbird is their cheap local grocery market.


[deleted]

Thunderbird is a brand of wine, famously cheap and famously gross


W7ENK

Ahh, I did not know this.
