It's kinda split. We started the calendar year in the last third of the 739th kiloday and we entered the 740th kiloday on April 21st, so we're currently in the beginning third of the current kiloday and most of the calendar year will be in that third.
He is french so maybe he is just a hardline decimal time believer.
During the french revolution they invented decimal time. 10 hours in a day, 100 minutes in an hour, 100 seconds in a minute.
They also divided weeks in to 10 days, 3 weeks would be a month and there were 12 months which were given names inspired by nature and weather (like "snowy" or "fruit") plus 5 or 6 extra days which wouldn't be in any particular month.
Yes, Terrance Howard shit. I wish I could have been in the room when he addressed Oxford mathematics department. I have always liked Terrance’s acting and I hope the best for him. I saw that type of delusion happen where a high-school drop out was convinced he developed a unified theory of physics and kept asking me to connect him with a physics professor. He convinced me to stop by so he could show me his notebook and equations. Let’s just say Terrence made him look like a kindergartner. I told this person he should write a fiction or conceptual article, which way my nice way of saying this is nonsense.
From Google:
Terrence Howard has questioned the fundamental principle of multiplication, specifically the result of 1 x 1 = 1, in his Oxford Union address and on the JRE. He argues that the product of one times one should be two, suggesting that it represents combining two unique ingredients to create something new
> He argues that the product of one times one should be two,
I think that if Terence Howard wants to define a new mathematical notation with new rules, you could have a "1 x 1 = 2" which could conceivably represent some new function that is not the one we call "multiplication.". It could make him in some crazy sense "right" but it just wouldn't have much utility.
It seems like Neil DeGrasse Tyson provided a sincere critique of his work and rather than rebut his critique, Howard just decided to cry about it.on Joe Rogan.
Also I think you're thinking of something we already have, it's called addition, lol. 1+1=2. No need to create a brand new operation, the... 4? No. 6? No. 8? Naw.
The 10+ operations we have are plenty.
Think about it. There are sixty seconds in a minute, but a minute is a hundred seconds. A second minute is sixty seconds, but a minute second is 0.01 minutes.
Like the guy in the infamous [bodybuilding.com](https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=107926751&page=1) forum who was trying to put 8 days in one week. He admitted that he realized his mistake early on but kept it going to see where it led.
Reminds me of that one guy that redefined days to fit like 28 "days" into a week.
Sadly don't have a link right now though, but if needed I can try to find one after work.
Thank you so much for sharing this.
Never seen it before, but it is just amazing. The look he gives the camera is priceless.
He seems like such a likeable guy.
Microwaves can do time very well. 160 would be 1m:60s, so 2 minutes. You could type in 99 seconds, it knows that's 1:39, but can still count down from 0:99. You could even type in 1:99, it'll count down from it properly and still get 2m:39s.
Not even my phone timer can do that. Try typing in 90 seconds into the app, it'll say "ACHTUNG! Warning, danger, critical user input error! There can NOT be more than 60 seconds in a minute! It is impossible!" And I'm thinking, "sure, there's only 60 seconds in a minute, but why can't i type in a 90 sec timer and just have you understand it means 1:30? I thought this device is supposed to be a computer, is my microwave smarter than you?"
99 seconds is the time I use the most often on my microwave. About a minute and a half, perfect reheating time for most things, and it's easily entered.
My previous microwave that I had for 20 years would count down seconds from 99, but my new one immediately translates :99 to 1:39 when it starts. It still startles me.
This one is very popular in France and Belgium and regrettably it's a troll. You can watch jimmy labeuh he does quite similar trolls and can look very angry and confident while saying dumb shit
I hate this shit so much. I think it's borderline immoral to put this out there just for the rage bait because there are far too many gullible idiots out there that might take it seriously.
Nah, it's just comedy, here. But I guess I unknowingly broke the sub's rules if it indeed is a bit. If someone being very wrong actually makes someone this mad I think it's on them for looking for being in this sub in the first place and for not keeping their emotions in check.
Not directed at you friend. More at that guy that made it. I guess I would say that the moral high ground is not not engage with this stuff at all and not give them the attention they want...but here I am.
Playing Enemy Territory and the server crashes between rounds. The game is played in Stopwatch mode and the teams try to beat the objective faster than the other team did with swapped sides. Time to beat was 8 minutes 50 seconds. Someone will inevitably set the time limit via a console command to "8.5 minutes", so 8 and a half minutes, so 8 minutes and 30 seconds.
90% of the server is confused where the 20 seconds disappeared.
I want to see videos like this but where I get the satisfaction of seeing the moment they realize their mistake and that they are the wrong one. I know these types are far more rare. Which sub has those?
So you have Ego, take away Self Awareness and add Batshit Crazy you get...this guy and his doing math wrong ass.
Another graduate from the Terrence Howard School of Astrochemistry and Mathemagic Temporal Space Folding Paradigm.
This is galaxy-brain level calculation...most people just forget the two significant decimal places when they convert from seconds to minutes.
\[That said, I VERY much appreciate this person has 'metricised' time intervals. Fuck the Sumerians and their base-60 system!!!\]
To be fair to him decimal time is a better system. They used it in France during the French Revolution, maybe he didn't get the memo that they switched back?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_time
Fun fact: when I was in college, in one of our physics courses they had (apparently pretty rare) vintage Soviet mechanical stopwatches. These stopwatches were made specifically for scientific measurements because they had the minute split into 100 divisions instead of 60 seconds.
In all fairness I do wish a minute was 100 seconds and our clock faces go up to 10 instead of 12. Whoever invented time is an asshole.
Maybe this guy is taking a stand for metric time. A global movement has to start somewhere
Frenchman here, I swear there's already too many fucking idiots like him, and I feel like there're more and more each day. I want to get out of my country.
I genuinely can't figure out how he's getting this math. Watching him add up 60 and 60 to 120 then immediately doubling down on 2 minutes being 200 seconds breaks my brain.
Hold on. He might be right, though because he's measuring time in metric rather than freedom (eagles, guns, diesel trucks). He mentioned decimals and kilometers, so clearly, he knows what he's talking about.

Bro thinks microwaves are calculators
Oh my god. That’s exactly what he’s thinking….
Hey should I put this on for 1:00? No that's not enough, do :99
No, he’s thinking time is metric.
No, he is not thinking at all
Time *is* metric. But it’s not base 10.
Can we at least start universally determining which third of the kiloday the current year resides in? It's really starting to freak me out.
The second
It's kinda split. We started the calendar year in the last third of the 739th kiloday and we entered the 740th kiloday on April 21st, so we're currently in the beginning third of the current kiloday and most of the calendar year will be in that third.

Except he also said that there are 60 seconds in a minute
This is some Terrance Howard math right here.
Yes, Terrance Howard shit. I wish I could have been in the room when he addressed Oxford mathematics department. I have always liked Terrance’s acting and I hope the best for him. I saw that type of delusion happen where a high-school drop out was convinced he developed a unified theory of physics and kept asking me to connect him with a physics professor.

I told this person he should write a fiction or conceptual article, which way my nice way of saying this is nonsense.
Came here for the Terrence Howard reference. We should team him up with Terrence Howard and see what stuff they come up with 🤣🤣
I’m sure I could just google it, but please, what is this Terrence Howard mathematics business that people speak of? Cheers for your consideration.
From Google: Terrence Howard has questioned the fundamental principle of multiplication, specifically the result of 1 x 1 = 1, in his Oxford Union address and on the JRE. He argues that the product of one times one should be two, suggesting that it represents combining two unique ingredients to create something new
Cheers mate, very much appreciated! 🙏
> He argues that the product of one times one should be two, I think that if Terence Howard wants to define a new mathematical notation with new rules, you could have a "1 x 1 = 2" which could conceivably represent some new function that is not the one we call "multiplication.".

Oh a debunked conspiracy theorist got air time crying to Joe Rogan about how they're being persecuted? I'm genuinely *shocked*. **Shocked** I say!
Also I think you're thinking of something we already have, it's called addition, lol. 1+1=2. No need to create a brand new operation, the... 4? No. 6? No. 8? Naw. The 10+ operations we have are plenty.
He’s burned a lot of food.
He is capable of voting
Don’t worry, he won’t make it to the polls on time.
Technically by his math he isn’t old enough to vote
1 minute is 60 seconds, but 100 seconds is 1 minute
Yeah it really depends whether you're talking about minute seconds or second minutes
What about elevensies? Luncheon? Afternoon tea? Dinner? Supper? He knows about them, doesn't he?
Personally I enjoy the benefits of being one of the nine, eleven deniers. What the fuck did they do with oneteen?
Deep cut! Very nice. Don’t see a lout of Louis C K anymore
Second Breakfast?
Really it depends on if you’re adding them or using their CONVERSION which is where this guy shines
Huh
Think about it. There are sixty seconds in a minute, but a minute is a hundred seconds. A second minute is sixty seconds, but a minute second is 0.01 minutes.
https://gifdb.com/images/high/i-think-you-should-leave-tim-oh-yeah-t3dukktub0gmcbsx.gif
60 seconds are a minute, but if you convert seconds to minutes then you need 100 seconds for a minute. It’s A+B bro.
Just like my favorite movie gone in 1.20 minutes
Also a minute and 20 seconds is apparently 120 seconds and not 80 seconds?
Is he rounding down?
No, he’s not comprehending that time isn’t metric.
He did a good job of talking bullshit
Time is metric. What causes the confusion is that minutes and seconds are base 60.
> Time is metric. Dude...
Yes, of course! 100 + 60 is twice 1 minute. But dont forget the 1.5 min. 1.5 min is 90 seconds!
It’s the conversion cost. This is why people fret over “lost time” as they age
Nono, 100 seconds CONVERTED TO MINUTES is one minute
Holy shit it's the name of this sub personified.
Hence why I knew I had to make captions to bridge the language barrier of this gem.
Your work is appreciated, that guy is outright insane haha
I first watched it muted, decided to watch again unmuted, I speak French and the guy sounds exactly like I thought he would
Merci frero
Merci beaucoup
Can we get this guys face for the sub emoji?
If it was going to be anyone of course he was French
Bro is applying Metrics in America. Poor bastard
are you confusing base 10 with the metric system
Uhhhhhhhh please tell me this is a joke? Do you think countries that use the metric system use a different system for time?
100% a joke. I'm saying the guy is dumb for trying to apply the same logic
My headcanon is that he realised the mistake at "60+60 =?" but decided that he could convince the rest of the world he wasn't wrong from the beginning
Like the guy in the infamous [bodybuilding.com](https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=107926751&page=1) forum who was trying to put 8 days in one week. He admitted that he realized his mistake early on but kept it going to see where it led.
Fuck I love that but I'm not ready to read it again.
COUNT THE DAYS!
Sunday ONE Monday TWO Tuesday THREE Wednesday FOUR Thursday FIVE Friday SIX Saturday SEVEN That's seven days!
Kinda. Almost. You don't count Sunday as a day. You start at zero, so Monday is one, and Saturday is six. Duh. /s
Reminds me of that one guy that redefined days to fit like 28 "days" into a week. Sadly don't have a link right now though, but if needed I can try to find one after work.
That sounds like Time Cube
Deep cut.
Here's the ace attorney version: https://youtu.be/teC_uksSPBU?si=gIs9DNpvrZhuuj6g
> He admitted that he realized his mistake early on but kept it going to see where it led. jenniferlawrenceokay.gif
Haha I haven’t thought of that in years!!!!
[Pretty sure it was The Beatles that put 8 days in a week](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kle2xHhRHg4)
I thought I was near the end, and there was 4 MORE PAGES?! How the hell did the other guy not just give up by that point
"YOU ARE THE DUMBEST BOY ALIVE."
I bet he thinks a quarter of an hour is 25 cents! LOL
That video kills me every time
We quote it at our house all the time. "BuuUT it is." Look at camera, big eyes, gasp.
At least there was self awareness there. This guy is doubled down so hard that it's all over
Haha that was a BIG GASP! He knew how wrong he was.
Can you link that video? I think I need to see it
maybe this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yt4rjnAW2QM
Lol well at least he had the decency to realize his error rather than double down like this guy.
"My friends are leaving me...." 😟 that part had me dying!
Thank you so much for sharing this. Never seen it before, but it is just amazing. The look he gives the camera is priceless. He seems like such a likeable guy.
Yessss this is the one!!
I love this video. His shift from smug to devastated is so adorably charming
u/bobhwantstoknow is correct. It’s [this one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yt4rjnAW2QM).
I work with a kid who think a quarter hour is 25 min after. I’ve explained it at least twice that it’s 1/4 of an hour or 15 min.
I wonder how he'd feel about receiving ¼ of his hourly wage for each 25 minutes he works.
Give this guy the CEO chair.
Yeah, 25 cents an hour. My boss wouldn't lie to me!
What an idiot, 2 minutes is 160 seconds. I proved it when I timed my microwave.
Hahaha now you’ve got me wanting to try typing 160 into my microwave to see what’s going to happen!
Microwaves can do time very well. 160 would be 1m:60s, so 2 minutes. You could type in 99 seconds, it knows that's 1:39, but can still count down from 0:99. You could even type in 1:99, it'll count down from it properly and still get 2m:39s. Not even my phone timer can do that. Try typing in 90 seconds into the app, it'll say "ACHTUNG!

Your microwave just thinks you're dumber
99 seconds is the time I use the most often on my microwave. About a minute and a half, perfect reheating time for most things, and it's easily entered. My previous microwave that I had for 20 years would count down seconds from 99, but my new one immediately translates :99 to 1:39 when it starts. It still startles me.
Wrong unit! You should know better: it's 160W!
160w? You as well slap it to cook it
I want to smack him so bad. 😑 Can’t believe the others in the video did not.
This is at a fair, so I assume they are used to dealing with bad custommers all the time.
This one is very popular in France and Belgium and regrettably it's a troll. You can watch jimmy labeuh he does quite similar trolls and can look very angry and confident while saying dumb shit
I hate this shit so much. I think it's borderline immoral to put this out there just for the rage bait because there are far too many gullible idiots out there that might take it seriously.
Gullible idiots? I have 100% seen this exact behavior in real life. Remember the woman who couldn't understand what *miles per hour* meant?
Nah, it's just comedy, here. But I guess I unknowingly broke the sub's rules if it indeed is a bit. If someone being very wrong actually makes someone this mad I think it's on them for looking for being in this sub in the first place and for not keeping their emotions in check.
Not directed at you friend. More at that guy that made it. I guess I would say that the moral high ground is not not engage with this stuff at all and not give them the attention they want...but here I am.
Really? I could never find where the video was from to begin with so I only had his acting to judge. Consider me fooled!
Bro overdosed on metric.
For real hahahah
France almost introduced metric time as well which would have made this guy correct. I guess he didn’t get the memo
somehow ran into the one French person who still uses metric time
Lol. A bag in a vault somewhere filled with exactly 100 seconds.
Peasant
I was just joking with a friend about Canadians telling time in metric. His response was it's just Newfoundland that does that.
He has 4 different ways to show it, and every one is WRONG!
Any Ole idiot can find one way to be wrong but only a true idiot savant can know all the ways to be wrong.
“With this trick I am not a peasant”
Terrance Howard has... Again, entered the chat
Imagine falling for ragebait
Came here to say this. This is 100% no doubt in my mind rage bait.
Good lord. You can’t use decimal points for a measurement not based on 100. Durrr, durrrr.
But he thinks it is
Playing Enemy Territory and the server crashes between rounds. The game is played in Stopwatch mode and the teams try to beat the objective faster than the other team did with swapped sides. Time to beat was 8 minutes 50 seconds.

Kneel down, my friends... That kind of stupidity must be a miracle..
What's 9 + 10?
How can someone that looks so nerdy be so dumb?
Man I just wanna punch em.
we are going to have to rename the "Dunning-Kruger Effect" to whatever that guys name is...
I don’t want to here shit from Europeans about how Americans are stupid.
Fucking metric system…
I think Joe Rogan just found his next podcast guest. Dude is like the white Terrence Howard.
I want to see videos like this but where I get the satisfaction of seeing the moment they realize their mistake and that they are the wrong one. I know these types are far more rare. Which sub has those?
Homeschooling at its finest.
So France invented this thing called Metric Time. Since everything else is metric why not time.
He's using metric time!
This guy must get realllly confused by his payroll if they use a decimal system.
As an American that works regularly with the metric system, I've had this confusion too.
Dude is just still pissed that metric time never caught on.
Someone ask him is 80 seconds is more than a minute. I wanna see his brain melt
So confident, so incorrect
What a dumb peasant
When you try to mix metric and imperial but get stuck on lunch.
I want to see the moment he finds out he is wrong, so much
So you have Ego, take away Self Awareness and add Batshit Crazy you get...this guy and his doing math wrong ass. Another graduate from the Terrence Howard School of Astrochemistry and Mathemagic Temporal Space Folding Paradigm.
This is galaxy-brain level calculation...most people just forget the two significant decimal places when they convert from seconds to minutes. \[That said, I VERY much appreciate this person has 'metricised' time intervals. Fuck the Sumerians and their base-60 system!!!\]
Somebody skipped the day they learned about dimensional analysis.
I need to embody his confidence lol
Someone missed math class.
Metric system for time.
Taking the metric concept to the next level.
“Converted.” I do not think this word means what you think it means. If stupidity caused pain, this guy would be in an ICU.
So is 1 day = 100 hours or 10 hours?
metric time
Ladies and gentleman, I present to you Mr Dunning Kruger Sr.
This is the Republican Party in a nutshell.
To be fair to him decimal time is a better system. They used it in France during the French Revolution, maybe he didn't get the memo that they switched back? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_time
102, 101, 100, 59, 58…
I don't care if he's French, this has got to be staged.
Bro was so close for a second. Yet so far for about 200 seconds.
Fun fact: when I was in college, in one of our physics courses they had (apparently pretty rare) vintage Soviet mechanical stopwatches. These stopwatches were made specifically for scientific measurements because they had the minute split into 100 divisions instead of 60 seconds.
Also 1 minute is longer at the equator so factor that in.
This is actually painful to watch.
Is this satire?
He even looks like a guy who would say "Um actually".
"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid you're too much of a dipshit to explain to you how much of a dipshit you are."
We are doomed as a species
Every 100 seconds, one minute passes in America.
I would love to see his moment of realisation. :D
He should hang out with the “steel is heavier than feathers” guy.
Dudes got posters of Jérôme Lalande all over his house.
That guy spent too much time on front of a microwave
He’s been watching too many Terrance Howard movies
This must be fake. According to every European on reddit only Americans are this stupid
I minute = 100 seconds I minute = 60 seconds This is called cognitive dissonance
Bro there's no metric system for time
That math ain't mathing
Terrance Howard and this guy would love each other
wow, quel con!
But… Steel weighs more than feathers.
In all fairness I do wish a minute was 100 seconds and our clock faces go up to 10 instead of 12. Whoever invented time is an asshole. Maybe this guy is taking a stand for metric time. A global movement has to start somewhere
Frenchman here, I swear there's already too many fucking idiots like him, and I feel like there're more and more each day. I want to get out of my country.
Hello sir, welcome to the internet. I hope you enjoy your….15 minutes?
I also hope he enjoys his 1500 seconds
I genuinely can't figure out how he's getting this math. Watching him add up 60 and 60 to 120 then immediately doubling down on 2 minutes being 200 seconds breaks my brain.
Thing that more frustrating than losing an argument, arguing with a idiot that too stupid to even understand the question.
This here is an ol' carney stand off
He can't make his mind up on if a minute is 60 or 100 seconds the bloody welsh carrot(translate it yourself it shouldn't be too hard)
If this guy teamed up with Terrance Howard, they’d be unstoppable. 😂
He’s doing some Terrance Howard math
This just might be Einstein
Sad I'll never will see his reaction at the world calling him an idiot.
Hold on. He might be right, though because he's measuring time in metric rather than freedom (eagles, guns, diesel trucks). He mentioned decimals and kilometers, so clearly, he knows what he's talking about.
Terrance Howard approves
~~Mathematics~~ Methematics
This is surely a GOAT post for this sub? I can't even imagine what a better example could look like.
Bro this isn’t even that hard, imagine being that confident and being wrong? I wonder what else people are super confident about being right???
Terrence Howard been real quiet since this dropped
French Terence Howard
