Comment by Nate Cox@programming.dev on The sneaking suspicion that I'm being robbed

Maruchan Ramen Chicken, Pack of 24, for $7.36 on Amazon. That’s literally $0.30/pack (or $0.10/oz). https://a.co/d/gr4Ft9F

Just throwing out there that ramen is indeed dirt cheap still.

You’re stuck on details that don’t matter. Ramen is not worth buying no matter how cheap it is.

But whatever. I give up. Be annoying.

I’m a bit confused why everyone is dogpiling on you. You claimed that Ramen hasn’t been 10 cents in decades and he comes back with a source that it is, in fact, 3 times more expensive. Given their own source, you were right.

They came back and verified WarmSoda’s claim, and WarmSoda responded with:

You’re stuck on details that don’t matter. Ramen is not worth buying no matter how cheap it is.
But whatever. I give up. Be annoying.

So that’s why there are downvotes. Hardly “dogpiling” at these tiny numbers. It’s not about the claim, or the fact that $0.30 a pack is still dirt cheap, as they said, it’s the fact that WarmSoda is being obnoxious and name calling because they aren’t being praised for their observation.

I’m not sure what you’re talking about, nobody verified WarmSoda’s claim. They doubled down that the price is still 10 cents by changing the units to oz. and everyone ate it up. WarmSoda backed off because this is a truly stupid argument, but I’m still baffled on how Nate Cox was able to get away with that mental gymnastics. I guess I can get away with selling a car to you guys claiming it only costs a dollar (per oz.)! Come on, its a really good deal, you’re not going to get a car for a dollar anywhere else!!!

uh, ok, bud. If you are here to flip flop your arguments on a whim just to pick a fight about what no one was talking about, go ahead. You can join blocksville with obnoxious name-calling guy 👍

Please feel free to point out any inconsistencies. However, there isn’t any between those two statements. Here’s the definition of verify for you: “to prove that something exists or is true, or to make certain that something is correct.”

Thank you, I appreciate it.
It’s the hive mind voting effect. Once someone gets downvoted enough in a thread any response they have going forward will also be downvoted.

Nah, I downvoted you because you are being obnoxious.

They told you from the get-go that “Ramen” while being a specific food is also colloquially used to refer to “inexpensive food” and Specific amounts don’t really matter.

But here you are, stuck on details that don’t matter insisting that $0.10 a pack of ramen matters to this discussion, then calling everyone “idiots”, “annoying”, and “are arguing about dumb shit”- even though you were the one who came in arguing about dirt cheap trash food not being exactly as dirt cheap as first claimed it was.

Given your continued astounding lack of awareness, too, I take it you missed your meds.

I wish I was you when I was 16

You’re stuck on details that don’t matter.

Be annoying.

I see you don’t know what “self-awareness” means.

If you lost your secondary argument that you brought up for no reason, maybe just stop replying instead of being an obnoxious shit?

Have you had your meds today? Feeling better?
