  • They’re dissociating the numbers on the right from their normal 2-digit value into being two separate 1-digit values. 16 is not sixteen, it’s a one and six. The value of 2 is between 1 and 6.

    Same goes with 3 being between 2 and 4.

    Then they do even more delightfully dumb shit when extrapolating this logic to 4.

    In reality, the things in OPs image are just $8 a piece.

    What I’m saying is that this commenter is a fuckin savant.

    It’s all good, my dude. I run old school cabling for my devices so I never have to deal with these shenanigans. Plus it’s been over a decade since this happened and I haven’t seen that family since. They left me alone after the incident and were quite civil afterwards.

    Also, you okay? You seem quite upset about an anecdote on the Internet that has nothing whatsoever to do with you.

    I actually had a similar situation. I found out I had a neighbor stealing my wifi a few years ago because of BT shenanigans.

    I gave the guest wifi pw to the previous neighbor, who must’ve written it down somewhere. The new neighbor was a douche who kept piggybacking off of it to watch stuff with his shitty little kid, so I’d occasionally get notifications on my network. When I confronted him about it, he got belligerent and threatened violence.

    So I paired to his device and blasted porn at full volume.
