@marcoarment@mastodon.social That’s easy math. Try figuring out how many paper towels, tissues and laundry detergent you need to buy on this purchase to get the $10 Target gift card. That’s the serious stuff.

I just want the regular size, not the one as wide as a Laserdisc that won't fit on any of my holders

@marcoarment some number equals paper towels. I hope that clears things up for you.

@marcoarment no one does and that’s the point. It’s just numbers meant to confuse & deceive us.

@marcoarment That’s just variable assignment. Their compiler lets them use wholly numeric identifiers.

@marcoarment Anything but the metric system, recursion edition.

@marcoarment recommend to uplevel to Senior Developer and buy the Kirkland pack at Costco. Addresses all usecases. You may need to refactor the bathroom fixture but won’t mind at all.

@marcoarment Absolutely baffling, but usually in the service of shrinkflation, says my dingus.

@marcoarment Around my area they sell packages from the same company, the same number of rolls, the same x=y nonsense, but they have Ultra, Mega, and other variants. I have never identified the differences. :thaenkin:

@marcoarment I’m like… why would they not just divide it by the common divisor of 18 to get 1=5 for example

@stevenodb@mastodon.social 2026-04-27 06:23
@marcoarment their math is shit, which is very on brand.

@marcoarment they mis-spelled MAGA but the maths comes from the chief of MAGA.

@marcoarment if you buy family mega you need 600% less rolls? Easy 🤪🤡

@marcoarment Well, clearly your degree isn’t in Marketing with a specialty in Obfuscation.

@marcoarment Reminds me of an podcast episode where some of the hosts talked about their not so stellar GPA. Wonder what podcast that was again …😉
