Ten bucks a week equals..
It would take Topper Harley approximately 57692 years to pay off that 30 million dollar plane, if he continues paying ten bucks a week (because he didn't take the collision coverage).
Phew, talk about deep debt..
Youtubers can't do math.
I was just watching another 'reaction' and when this scene popped up, these (censored) youtubers just said 'It will take him 40 years, ha ha' and went on watching without stopping to think or do math.
40 years??
REALLY?? They can't even ESTIMATE it better than THAT?
Ten bucks a week = 520 bucks a year, because there are 52 weeks in a year, right?
People just don't understand how much a MILLION is. It's just a 'big number' and that's how far people's understanding of it goes.
Completely disregarding that it's YET ANOTHER masonic number (watch movies and TV shows with this in mind - every, EVERY number is always '13', '33' or some kind of '133' or '313' variation. EVERY single number! It's always 13 years, 13 bucks, or whatever)..
.. even one million would be almost four thousand five hundred years!
HOW can these airhead bimbo 'reactors' not realize just HOW FAR OFF they were in their crappy estimation of '40 years' that they COMPLETELY THOUGHTLESSLY threw out there? WHY would you say that without realizing that 40 times 520 is a measly ~21 thousand (a bit less)?
So these people estimate 30 (or 13) million and around twenty thousand to be the same. Just how much has to be wrong in your head for you to just casually do that and not see anything wrong with it?
In these 'youtube reactors'' (I am starting to think they are the lowest people on this planet, but I have seen the 'millennials can't count 3 x 3 x 3'-videos as well, so it's starting to be a bit terrifying to live in this world) minds, around 58 thousand years and 40 years are the same.
Of course this is the problem with numbers, people are not 'naturally' or organically equipped with math, it's a logical skill you have to learn, but I am really bad at it and even I can INSTANTLY tell that 10 bucks a week is NOT gonna amount to anything close to even a million in friggin' 40 years! THAT IS THE POINT, that it's ABSURDLY unpayable with ten bucks a week.
But these 'youtuber reactors' have NO sense of reality, no assessment ability, no understanding of how anything works.. they just watch a movie, misjudge it unfairly and then go about their superficial day where they don't have to think about anything too much.
Does it hurt the brain to actually think a LITTLE bit before saying '40 years'?
The joke is that 10 bucks a week is RIDICULOUSLY tiny amount to pay for something so MASSIVELY expensive, that he could never, EVER pay it even in ten lifetimes. THAT is the joke, not that it would take 40 years to pay it, but it would be payable. That's not funny. Jokes are EXTREME and ABSURD to be hilarious - if it was payable in 40 years, it would be more mundane and tame.
These people laugh but don't get the joke. What's wrong with their brains?
Big numbers are confusing, of course, and a youtuber can't be asked to do this kind of 'oh-so-complicated-math' and stop reacting for the 2.7 minutes it would take to use their omnipresent minicomputer's (I can't call that thing a 'phone') calculator to do this challenging task of adding some simple numbers, but come on, AT LEAST say 400 years to be in the clear, ok?
I will accept 400 years, I am not greedy! But they can't even do that.. so despair falls over my already anxiety-ridden shadow of a being I could have been.. Why are people like this? Why not at least re-think it, why don't they have a 'feel' for these things at least to the extent of 'hmm, this estimation feels wrong'?
Why can they just say that like it's nothing and go on and not realize what a ridiculous mistake they made? Are THEY trying to be absurd and funny?
Well, it's not funny. 40 years.. I can't get over that. FORTY?
Couldn't they at least, in their mind, quickly calculate 10 x 52 to realize its' 520 a year and that times forty is not gonna be even a tiny grain of sand in a big desert?
I mean, if ten years means 5200 bucks, how the heck do they think four times that becomes thirty (or -teen) MILLIONS? HOW?
