Reply to comment by sarinGasSmells in Solar energy in Europe will be 10 times cheaper than gas by 2030 by EnergyTransitionNews
Dick much?
It's like saying ten times colder. There is no quantitative measure of cold, or cheap.

Of course there is. X=the price of gas
Or the temperature it's being compared to.
Come on dude.

X = the price of gas
The price of solar is 10(X) less than the price of gas.
Solar = gas - 10(gas)
Solar = -9(gas)
The price of solar will be negative nine times the price of gas. That is the only logical conclusion that can be drawn from the headline.

That's not a measure of "cheapness", or of coldness.
If a glass half full is not twice as empty as a full one.
We know what it means only because we're used to people having grossly incompetent usage.

OK so you knew what it meant you just wanted to be a dick.

Well you actually disagreed, so it seems some people need it explained.
If anything, it is 90% cheaper, which isn't the same as ten times cheaper (which is nonsense).

It's not nonsense, it's you who aren't getting it buddy. If something costs a dollar at Target but Walmart sells it for 10 cents, it is, in fact, 10 times cheaper. See, 10 times 10 = 100. You understand percentages but not multiplication?
Just the fact that you enjoy arguing this point tells me you have a Walmart personality.

What's 90% cheaper than $1?
sarinGasSmells t1_iytombx wrote
Same same. Now you're getting it genius. r/foundtheshutthefuckup
shostakofiev t1_iytq6vv wrote
So you think 90% cheaper is the same as 10 times cheaper? You realize that's dumb, right?
