This pic is so old I actually knew there wasnt a letter in it

HA! I got you!
I didn't go back, I just believed you!

Take that stranger! can't fool me!

Jokes on you, I read the number and still went back to look for the letter.

there you go, another compression iteration

This one has never worked for me, because if I see a long number without commas or periods I have to stop and figure out. I couldn't hope to read that number until I solved to puzzle of whether is started with "million" or "billion."

angry upvote

I read the number before it told me I didn't read it. I accept btc.

I didn't go back and look. I committed to not looking at it when you started bitching at me about it.

I skipped at it, but I didn’t go back to read it or reread it. Ha!

Now listen here you little shit

Fuck you, I'm not predicatable, I'm reliable.

Why would I read the number? I saw the dollars and that it’s a lot, that’s enough context for me

I won the bet. Please send me the money at your earliest convenience.

I did a cursory glance at the groups to see that it was 428 rnillion, so I think that’s enough.

It’s predictable because that’s how our brains work- we need context to understand such large numbers, so until you have the context, you skip parsing it.

trick is on you, i read the entire four billion eight hundred fifteen million one hundred sixty two thousand three hundred forty two dollars. i expect that money wired to my account by the end of the year in USD currency.

That I have to go through and count the digits before I know how to say the number aloud (4 billion...) seems like a flaw with how we write numbers.

FUCK YOU BUDDY!

i didnt say your wrong

Ive been played for a fool!

: P

Jokes on you, I was too lazy to go back and look.

Haha my ADD meant I just slipped to the last part of the image and knew i could stop reading to out of spite

This kind of posts typically hint at how manipulable we all are... and it's true, but what they omit is the cost.

Readying a random meme and getting "pwned" by it typically gets you a good laugh. Sharing your bank details over the phone does not. So... what this kind of stuff does rather show how rational most of us are, namely we don't mind getting played if we have fun doing it.

Are hyperbole a joke to you?

Got me there

Gottem

Here I assumed it was going to be a phone number

I'm feeling lucky, might buy a lottery ticket later.

I read it the first time, didn't see a letter, then second guessed myself because it said there was a letter lmao

Like a letter in a number would be weird? Alge, bruh.

Is it bad I didn’t go back to look for the letter and just believed OOP?

I've been duped by a variation of this so many times I just keep reading through these without looking back out of spite.
