It was funded by an office furniture company. It’s 100% propaganda, and pretty ridiculous that it even got any amount of traction.

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK - X percent of Y is equal to Y percent of X. So, if you want to find out what 7% of 50 is, you could instead find out what 50% of 7 is, which is 3.5. This means that 7% of 50 is also equal to 3.5.
1·3 years agoThis isn’t the only property that makes mental math easy. What is 3.5% of 62? Inverting the percentages doesn’t really help but if we realized 3.5% = 1%+1%+1%+0.5% we have some easy math. This gives us 0.62+0.62+0.62+0.62/2=2.17
Also remember there isn’t a teacher sitting over your shoulder to check your work, most of the time you do mental math, getting close is good enough. 62 is close to 60 and 3.5% is close to 4, and 60 x 4% is easy math to get an answer that will be a little less than 2.4.

Chat@beehaw.org•With the defederation active, how has it affected your subscriptions?
3·3 years agoI’d love if there was a “meta subreddit” option here in the fediverse so I could group together every instance of say !cats and the eventual hundreds of variants on black cats, or orange cats, or illegally smol cats, into a single easy to view link. This way it would be easy to just and new groups of similar discussion into a single continuous channel. Perhaps this may be a thing once more of the apps start to take off and mature, but until then it’s definitely a thing I’m missing here.

Lemmy.World Announcements@lemmy.world•The potential role of a 3rd servers to mediate between Beehaw and Lemmy.world
10·3 years agoI’m of the opinion that if you want a closed off, strongly moderated, safe space forum you probably shouldn’t be federating with anyone.

I think I’d have to go with RC Bray. I could listen to him tell me just about anything.
