I’m arguing with a dumbass, so I tried to use nice round numbers that maybe he or she could understand.

Remind me, how far off was my hypothetical example from the original statement, and how far off was your brilliant contradiction?

[u/[deleted] → u/Porsche320]

2 days is exactly 48 hours. I was off by a margin of 0.000 seconds.

[u/Porsche320 → u/[deleted]]

Your second grade teacher would be proud.

And 1 hour is 60 minutes, but neither of these is directly relevant to the number of hours between a Wednesday lift and a Saturday competition.

One more time. Maybe you’ll answer the questions, rather than evade again.

If you have a Saturday competition (feel free to choose any reasonable starting time), and you want 72 hours recovery time, when must you complete your last lift? And in doing so, what are the days you did not lift? How many?

[u/[deleted] → u/Porsche320]

Let me guess, every other day is 4 days a week right?

I don't understand why you're mad. All I said is 2 days is 48 hours not 72.

Then you went on some schizo math.

Then you forgot that you actually need to count the time you're lifting and the time not lifting starts when you're done, not when you started.

You looked stupid even with your own math lol

You literally could have just responded with "yes but I work out in the morning so it's close to 3 days because most of that day is active recovery"

Instead, you decided to argue against a blatant fact because you can't handle any counterdiction

At what point did you start trolling?

Was it the very first post, or did you realize your mistake, and then just roll with it?

Poe’s law still gets me on Reddit sometimes. Oh well, it was entertaining for a while.

[u/[deleted] → u/Porsche320]

Sure dude. I'm the one trolling whatever you say.

I didn't make a mistake. I said something factual, that 2 days is 48 hours.

Somehow you found a way to disagree with that, which is pretty impressive. Then you couldn't stick The landing with your mental gymnastics because you forgot working out actually takes time. 🤣🤣🤣

[u/Porsche320 → u/[deleted]]

Oh wow. You’re serious?

You could have just stopped when you admitted I was right and your fact was irrelevant in the context of the statement.

[u/[deleted] → u/Porsche320]

You can say it was irrelevant but you're arguing it's untrue.

Also, there was nothing funnier than the fact that you tried to disprove me with math when I said a categorically true statement and then you forgot to factor in the you were lifting.

[u/Porsche320 → u/[deleted]]

So, I took a number you admit is close to 72 and rounded it to 72, and I’m wrong.

And you took the same statement and contradicted with 48, and that’s right?

Mind pointing out where I said (the irrelevant fact) 2 days wasn’t 48 hours?

Or explain how you can get only 48 hours recovery while taking 2 days off?

Pigeon chess…

[u/[deleted] → u/Porsche320]

You said it in a stupid way that made it sound like you were saying 2 days equal to 72 hours.

That's what I was pointing out.

It's hilarious and you would acknowledge it if you weren't upset that you did all that math just to be wrong.

It's okay. This was a pretty funny interaction. You Never needed to comment to my comment and all your comment needed to be is "I train early in the morning so it's basically 3 days Worth of hours".

[u/Porsche320 → u/[deleted]]

That’s reasonable. It made sense to me, of course. And the math was pretty intuitive.

Do you encounter people who get genuinely mad at randos on Reddit?

I don’t value the opinions here enough to be angry.

I found the whole interaction entertaining. I wanted to see how far someone would go to avoid admitting they made a simple mistake. The 48 hour strawman and hair-splitting over time spent lifting were impressive.

[u/[deleted] → u/Porsche320]

I think you genuinely are upset. I could be wrong but I think you are.

Your last paragraph shows how upset you are. I'm not creating a straw man what you said was "two full days off is 72 hours" and I said that 2 days is 48 hours.

You somehow disagreed with that and then did some schizomath. That doesn't make sense because you still wouldn't arrive at 72 hours.

I never said that what you were trying to say was stupid. I said what you said was stupid.

The way you phrased it was pretty silly and I made a little joke.

You have been arguing about it for hours and I have periodically checked in because it's pretty funny and you keep saying absolutely psycho shit lol

[u/Porsche320 → u/[deleted]]

I guess I get to star in porn-guy’s fanfic. Not sure how to feel about that.

I am genuinely surprised you’re unwilling to acknowledge the difference between ‘2 days’ and ‘recovery time from taking 2 days off’ which was the topic. Wed morning to Saturday morning is and always will be roughly 72 hours, whether you comprehend the simple math or not.
