Most people round down

Source?

Some slight ramdom paper reading, back in my uni days. Though I've ran across it via other sources over the years since. Unfortunately I don't have any links to hand though.

It might better be described as people put numbers into categories. Most people have a 10-20 category. 19.99 fits. 20.00 gets bumped up to the next box. It's a sub/semi conscious thing. If we use our higher thought process, we can deal with the numbers. That takes effort however, by default, we chunk. The price just abuses a common rollover point most people share.

So, no source do the actual research backing your claims?

Where is your thesis with references?

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You do realise that it is a claim which needs to be proven, not the other way around, right?

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm telling you there's no reason to demand for proof.

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh yeah, the old "trust me bro" argument.

Not everything needs to be an argument.
Chill out. You're in a memes community.

You made an assertion you are not prepared to back up with an actual research. Unless you do, I call it marketing bullshit.

What the fuck are you talking about? Lol

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Which word gave you trouble, sweetheart?

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I can't tell if you really can't follow a train of comments, or you're just trolling.

Considering you think you're being mean hearted I'm gonna go with troll.

Have a good one.

So, a person who is asking you to provide an evidence for your claims is "trolling"?

What claims did I make, sweetheart?
