    Fractions are just funky when dividing. Dividing by 0.5 is the same multiplying by 2.

    Your analogy is really close, but backwards is all. If you have a quarter of an apple. In order to get half a whole apple, you need another quarter. Two quarters make a half, so dividing a quarter by 0.5 gives you 2 quarters. Dividing a quarter by 2 gives you 0.5 of the original quarter which is your 1/8th










  • As a male, it’s somewhat our jobs to teach the next generation that this behavior is not okay.

    Not saying you have to be super active about it, but it’s no wonder some women are afraid of men. They’re much stronger and sometimes just straight up unhinged from generations of telling other men to stfu, man up, and go to war to fight for your country for no reason.

    It’ll take a few more generations, but I really do hope we can break this cycle of abuse. It does kind of help that women have become smarter with their rights and they’re not going to reproduce with these types of men, but clearly the issue is still relevant because rejection could lead to death.








  • Eating chips/popcorn without getting dust on your fingers. For stabbing if it’s something thick or you can cross them like an X to use them as makeshift scissors. They’re just lightweight tongs and their precision allows for a range from a single grain of rice to an entire steak. It’s just a matter of mastery.

    As a bonus they’re wooden so they don’t ruin my cookware when I scrape. You see wooden spoons but rarely wooden forks.
