  • It's.... definitely not right. Most estimates I found from a quick Google search put global energy consumption at a bit under 600,000 PJ per year, so even if they meant to say daily energy consumption or something they'd still be off by an order of magnitude.

    The closest I can get to the number they gave is that global daily electricity consumption is a little over 200 PJ, so right on par with estimates for the Tsar Bomba.

  • Oh, that is actually much more helpful. So, if you know your times tables, you can do percentages. You just have to use communitavatization.

    Jokes aside, I really appreciate it. That made it much more easier to understand. Thank you.

  • No, I think we all learned that multiplication is commutative in late elementary school, and obviously that's an important thing to know.

    But I think the original post tried to make it out to be some magical mathematical trick, and I really don't understand that. Maybe I misunderstood the post.

    Edit: wow, "commutative" is a really hard word to spell.

  • ....I mean, yeah? If the number is 50 or 10 that works out great. But let's try that with 7% of 13. Now it's 13% of 7. Just like you said, "much easier to calculate."

    Okay, choosing prime numbers was intentionally mean on my part. But 3% of 9 becomes 9% of 3. 4% of 2 becomes 2% of 4. Can anyone honestly look me in the eye and tell me that this tip has helped them out in any meaningful way?

  • Yeah. It's suffering. There have been many studies which show that pets undergo extreme stress when humans decide to set off fireworks.

    I'm sorry that you think it's a "little yapping dickhead", but it's still a living being with feelings. I don't think it deserves trauma just because it barks a little too much.
