(its still a 20% reduction) (sorry)

200% reduction is if you start with 10 meat eaters and end up with 20 vegans i think

Oh i didnt realize it was my fol birthday for you and thought you were just saying things.

Oh i should read more

well no
bc think about it this way

lets say bob and rob both eat 4 pounds of meat a week, so 8 lbs total. if bob chose to eat no meat and rob continued eating meat there would be 4 poudns of meat eaten. a 50% decrease from the total. but if both rob and bob decided to halve their meat consumption, theyd both eat 2 pounds, a 50% decrease from the total

Yes, and this supports my words that lumi’s example was a 20% reduction (i didnt see she was joking)

10 people reduce by 20%, overall consumption is now 80%, a reduction of 20%

bleh

notably though that’s twice the difference compared to the 90% it would be if one person went to zero and the rest didn’t change

which I believe to be where that 200% number comes from

you cutting out your own consumption is lowering total demand by 100% of your consumption

getting 9 others and everybody cutting 20% of their consumption is lowering total demand by 200% of your personal consumption

At the higher levels it feels like the bigger obstacle is the fact that it starts to just take so long and so it becomes less of a test of memory and more of a test of determination and focus fatigue

You’re not allowed to have game this is unfair

I’m relieved to hear that getting to a level that high isn’t as special as the stated percentile would leave you to believe

It felt kind of bewildering that no one else was able to get even close to that high since it didn’t feel particularly difficult from a memory perspective and was just more of a “how patient are you?” test after a point

Like, I’ve been having this feeling that “surely this isn’t actually that difficult and it’s really just that no one actually cares to try hard enough to do it?”

yeah. I don’t know what your tactic was but I just made little “stories” or “names” for sequences. In order it was form the gun, backfire, add the sights, make the super slurper formation (idk why my brain called it that), make the piece, make the triangle, make the zenith, zenith collapses, rocket ricochets, jesus rises flies across the ocean into the sun into the garden into our hearts into hell, form the pan, reinforce the pan, add food, food spills, panic, food slides, top boys fall on top, bruh boys dont, chop, and then i ended on chop

but it became so seocnd nature that yeah I just stopped wanting to do it
