Funny how a month with 28, sometimes 29, days costs the same as the months with 31 days.

[-] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 121 points 7 months ago

Funny how it’s probably averaged out over 12 months instead or something.

[-] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 67 points 7 months ago

How dare you bring logic and reason into this!

[-] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 29 points 7 months ago

Dammit I wanted to be irrationally angry at something!

“Could not fetch embedded watch page”

I got the same error on a different vid from the bot, the server it's linking to might be having issues. Or the bot is broken, IDK.

Remember what the door knob said.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 12 points 7 months ago

It must be the landlords, because it benefits them to scam their tenants out of three extra days.

[-] Tak@lemmy.ml 0 points 7 months ago

There are plenty of services that you might not have for a year though.

[-] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

That’s why it’s averaged over each month, there for 6 months, you pay for 6 instead of 12.

[-] Tak@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 months ago

But if it's averaged for a year and you only subscribe or whatever in February it's less than the yearly average for a month.

[-] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world -1 points 7 months ago

So…? Do you measure each piece of cake with a caliper…?

[-] Tak@lemmy.ml 0 points 7 months ago

There are an average of 30.437 days in a month so if you pay a monthly payment for your average February that's 2.437 days off the average. That's nearly 10% of a month.

And yes if you are selling pieces of cake they should be the same size.

[-] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world -1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

You’re buying a whole cake and returning the sections you didn’t use. You’re cutting your own pieces…. It’s only your own fault if they aren’t perfectly identical.

Also, every 4th feb has an extra day, so your math isn’t even correct anyways. Nice attempt.

[-] Tak@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

You're not returning anything if you pay per month and one month is shorter. Nice attempt.

Also, I said your average February not average number of days in February. Your average February has 28 days while your average number of days in February has obviously 1/28th more days. Just like your average person has two hands, it's based on the average of the buckets not the average in the buckets.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Average

The most frequently occurring number in a list is called the mode. For example, the mode of the list (1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4) is 3.

[-] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Why are you using mode instead of the standard average? You link averages, than quote a part from “mode” instead of the standard average.

Do you think that defends your point? That you’re intentionally using an obscure definition instead of the standard?

Also, sleazy as shit you edit your comments with different information after the fact.

Please provide these plenty of examples of things you can pay for monthly. Why do you keep moving the goals posts instead of defending your original claim…?

[-] Tak@lemmy.ml 0 points 7 months ago

Oh yeah it's so sleazy to simply point out how you have no idea what you're talking about. I didn't even edit what my comment said, I simply added a link and quote to a wiki page.

How dare I add facts that show you don't know what you're talking about. 😂

[-] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

So you don’t have any examples of things that are paid for monthly…?

What a fucking shocker…. Every comment avoids defending their point and argues with goalpost moving…

[-] Tak@lemmy.ml 0 points 7 months ago

Got me. It's all just a goal-post move in saying averages are averages.

If every month was 28 days long one year would be 13 identical months! We could take a whole month off every year!

[-] Xavienth@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 7 months ago

13 months plus one day. 13×28+1=365

Plus an additional day on leap years.

[-] boredtortoise@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

Landlords would get one extra month of money
