    I think it’s because people want patterns to exist even where they don’t. But this one is extra sensitive. The declaration becomes even less interesting in non-base-ten systems. I’m not even sure why 225 would be intuitive to anybody. I guess that’s what makes it a shit post.

      I mean the top level post is just incorrect, this is a shitpost making fun of people who aren’t capable of basic calculus. I don’t wanna be like the c/whoosh gal but obviously 550/2 = 225 it’s almost ridiculous that this whole post became so big because of people thinking they know better
