Speed this up about .5x and it will be perfect. This is some quality shit.

[–]AceholeThug 115ポイント116ポイント  (26子コメント)

Speeding it up by .5x is actually halving the speed.

[–]Sebastiangamer 38ポイント39ポイント  (12子コメント)

He's not making it 0.5x. they mean adding .5 on to the 1. Therefore 1.5 times. See how they say "speed this up .5x". He means 150% not 50%

[–]AceholeThug 13ポイント14ポイント  (11子コメント)

Adding the "X" at the end you are saying "times." .5 times. Which means to multiply. What you, and OP, mean to say is "add .5 speed to this." Words mean things guy, better learn the basics, especially math.

But how do I get my drink to be twice as cold?

Wait til the mountains are blue

It's "speed it up by .5 times," which would be the same as "make it .5 times more than the current speed." It's the same as saying to "speed it up by 50%," because that's the equivalent of .5 * the initial number.

It isn't a very pretty way of putting it, but the meaning's obvious. And there's no need to be such a twat about it, even if you were right.

I think he should do 30 speed

Thank you for being a perfect example of Dunning-Kruger.

[–]critietaeta 5ポイント6ポイント  (5子コメント)

So increasing by 50% means halving now? I don't think so.

[–]BettisBus 5ポイント6ポイント  (2子コメント)

That would be 1.5x the speed, not 0.5x.

[–]silverskull39 3ポイント4ポイント  (1子コメント)

But he doesnt say "make it 0.5x the speed", he says "speed it up [by] about 0.5x times.", meaning to add 0.5x its current speed.

[–]AceholeThug -4ポイント-3ポイント  (1子コメント)

I guess it depends on what you mean when you say .5X. Mathematically speaking "X" means "times" or to "multiply." So if you take the base speed, 1, and multiple it by .5, you have made the speed .5. However, I know in today's world we like to make shit up as we go like gender so I can understand why you would want to make up math as you go to. Because feelz > realz.

[–]critietaeta -2ポイント-1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Mathematically speaking, .5X 1 is .5 as you said. But increasing 1 by .5x is 1.5. as the original comment said....

[–]Purple-Is-Delicious 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

what if I told you that you can speed something up by less than 100%

[–]BindeDSA 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

1 + .5 = 1.5

[–]Zeal0tElite 1ポイント2ポイント  (3子コメント)

Then he'll have to double it by twice the amount afterwards.

[–]perfecttttt -3ポイント-2ポイント  (2子コメント)

1* .5 *2 = 1

[–]MinecraftSuggester -1ポイント0ポイント  (1子コメント)

double it by twice the amount

2*2*.5 = 2

[–]perfecttttt -1ポイント0ポイント  (0子コメント)

double it by twice the amount

Does this make sense? Can you quarter by triple the amount?

[–]OHAITHARU 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Well slow it down by 0.5x the speed. Will that work?

[–]paineless 9ポイント10ポイント  (2子コメント)

Damn you people, whether or not you can argue the way he said it means 150% or 50% doesn't make a damn bit of difference, we knew what he meant by saying 'speed this up'
