I love the stock market. Line goes up and food becomes impossible to afford! Line goes down and we all lose our jobs! I love this fucking dumbshit criminal ponzi scheme of a system! /s

Gamestonk go BRRRRRRRR, NFTs are the future! /s

/s/s/s/s/s/s/s

Those /s’s cancel out making this a legitimate claim.

[–] dingus@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wouldn't it have to be an even number for them to all cancel out?

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.de 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There are 8 of them, though?

[–] dingus@lemmy.ml 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

One after the first sentence, one after the second sentence, and then a stack of seven at the end. Totaling nine.

Even if you separate them out ignoring the first two as being separate instances of sarcasm, the last section is still an uneven number.

EDIT: People please don't downvote this person over misreading the number of /s in my post. Not justified. They made a simple mistake. You could just simply not upvote if that's how you feel.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.de 7 points 1 year ago

ah, I failed to see the /s on the first sentence. My bad.

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wouldnt they cancel out anyway?

Each sentance has 1 /s, canceling them, and then the 7 /s cancel the first /s'

[–] dingus@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean, realistically in math, when you stack a bunch of the same things together, they add together they don't cancel out.

That's what happens when you add a positive and a negative.

That would be if they were alternating tags for "sarcasm" and "not sarcasm" and there were just as many "sarcasm" tags as "not sarcasm" tags.

But I mean this is all just semantics because last I checked we're not actually dealing with math here. Just like the Stock Market.

Vowels are part of a subscription service, but you can get a free 7-day trial!

Vowel service will auto-renew after trial at $29.99 per month. To cancel, visit our website which will direct you to a phone number that is no longer in service

[–] redw04@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago

free trial comes with 5 free vowels during the subscription period. To purchase more, head over to wheel.com/plus to purchase vowel credits. Credits expire after 14 days and are non refundable and non transferrable.

If you can save up for a deposit for a house then you can always put that into the stock market so that you can lose it there right before a housing crash comes.

There is no reason to be set up to fail in just one way. You have to fail/hussle ... fussle if you will.

I'm sorry, that vowel appears to be out of your range. How about a 'y'? It's got a great view of the assend of most words, and a turn increase of only 34%!

Brother, can you spare an "n"? And capitals and punctuation marks?
