What's the idea behind a commercial like this?

>>4104341
It was the Atari Jaguar. I don't think there were any ideas behind it at all.

Reducing the comparison of the consoles to a simple "our number is bigger than theirs" while implying that if you disagree or don't understand why the bigger number of bits is inherently better overall, then you're an idiot.

>>4104360
granted, nobody actually knew what *-bit meant in the 90s. bigger was just understood to be better.

>Well, it turned out that customers preferred the taste of our fresh beef over traditional fast-food hockey pucks. Hands down, we had a better product. But there was a serious problem. More than half of the participants in the Yankelovich focus groups questioned the price of our burger. "Why," they asked, "should we pay the same amount for a third of a pound of meat as we do for a quarter-pound of meat at McDonald's? You're overcharging us." Honestly. People thought a third of a pound was less than a quarter of a pound. After all, three is less than four!

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

>>4104504
This, after reading that I felt depressed for a second

It's like when Coca-Cola introduced a healthier recipe for their coke, in taste tests if was also prepared, but people just shit on it and demanded the old coke back

But this is so fucking dumb I can't describe

>>4104364
It reminds me how 10 years ago I upgraded forum software from 2.x.9 to 2.x.11 and everyone went apeshit because they thought I did an downgrade

Remember, this is a country whose high school exams are multiple-choice.

>E) Amerigo Vespucci

>>4104535
So do we down here. And yes, our education numbers are so bad, even the murricans are far ahead.

>>4104535
It's far worse than that. We have boards of education (Colorado iirc) where those in charge campaigning against HS covering any negative aspects of HS History, and that "critical thinking has no place in schools"


Anyway, check usenet OP, Jag vs 3DO threads are full of suchis absolute delusion it's unreal.

>>4104364
Is this real?

>>4104573
>G) Vikings

>>4104702
Leif Erikson was not a viking. Viking is just another word for pirate.

>>4104626
They're americans, what did you even expect? Of course it's real.

>>4104535
>E)None of the above
Native americans did.

>>4104504
Americans are fucking retarded on purpose, our public education system was designed by the Rockefeller Foundation to produce mindless trend-following consumers who liked working mind numbing factory jobs. This isn't even a conspiracy theory, they were public and open about it at the time.

Seriously, look it up. Now that we don't need zillions of people toiling away in factories and mines it's just a liability but they won't change it.

>>4104707
Sorry I don't believe in Facebook photos. Chances are if this was real, the poster would've posted a link to an article, and not an image.

you're probably an American if you believe everything you see on the internet, stop acting like you're not one

>>4104364
What the fuck is wrong with you, America?

>>4104612
Am Coloradan, can confirm. Our school system is pure ass here

>>4104724
You don't need a world class education to grow/sell DUDE WEED, make soy kombucha lattes, or be a snowboard instructor, which as far as I can tell are the only industries present in Colorado

good for you, too many people read bullshit on the internet and think it's real.

well hey, it may be real

>>4104364
americans are idiots but so are people in every other country desu, to pretend that it's somehow limited to america is minimizing what's actually a global problem. >>4104714 is right except most of the world has adopted a similar system because it works so well in indoctrinating idiots and preventing uprising.

>>4104765
>>4104768
Why does it have to be Americans? I can assure you others fail at such things as well.

>>4104765
>Why do Americans stink at math
Number of reasons, but two of them are the long holdout, particularly among public schools and Colleges, to not officially teach metric system(or at least teach it along with imperial system), and the effects of decades of Federal forced integration of public education regarding different racial groups, regardless of state.

Bonus: Common Core, while relatively new, is another scam meant to trick the students into thinking we are "all the same".

>>4104765
>>4104768
Thanks for the source. Sorry for calling you American, an American would've just name called me for not blindly not believing an image.

>>4104778
Indeed, its worse in a number of South American and many Sub-Saharan African countries(especially the latter)

The US public education system needs a major revamp

Koreans believe you can die from asphyxiation if you're in a closed (not sealed) room with a running fan.

Stupidity comes in many different forms and knows no geographical limitations.

>>4104789
I am American.

>>4104515

...why?

11 is bigger than 9 still. Not even evil fractions.

>>4104838
Ah, but you see 1 is smaller than 9, and people only look at the last digit of version numbers

>>4104896
It's not the last number which is the issue, it's the one immediately following the decimal point.

>Murricans in charge of understanding the simplest system in current use aka metric.

>>4104896
This sounds fake as fuck. The average idiot just sees the whole number and thinks 11 is bigger than 9. They don't see 11 as one one, they see eleven.
They'd probably ask
>Shouldn't it be x.9.2?
Stop seeking attention and seek help instead
