re: Another math thread: "In dog beers I've only had one" doesn't make sense

Dude, that 10 you keep using is ALSO people years.
Nah. A 70 year old woman is 70 in human years and 10 in dog years.
I posted the proof earlier. Humans live 7x longer than dogs. The idea that a "dog" ____ can be 7x a human ____ is preposterous.
Humans live 7x longer than dogs. A human _____ is 7x a dog _____. That's a fact.
A human year is 7x a dog year. A human beer is 7x a dog beer.

I'm out. This is far too autistic for me.

I'm honestly not sure how this is even debatable. I have to assume anyone who dissents is trolling.
Dog life: X
Human life: 7X
or
Human life: X
Dog life: X/7
That's the conversion. How someone can argue otherwise is insane to me.

God damn this is more autistic than Sheldon.
It's a fricking cute way to tell your kid how old the dog is. "oh honey, he's 6 so that's 42 in dog years." This ridiculous application of mathematical conversions is beyond ridiculous.

As a human, how many human years old are you? And how many dog years old are you?
Now flip it and assume you're a dog. As a dog, a year is a dog year, and you would have to ask yourself how many human years old you are.

No. The dog would also be 7 years old.

If the 6 year old dog is 42 in "dog years", what if you were comparing his age to a cat, instead? They live about the same as cats, so would you again say he's 42 "dog years" old? No, you would say he's 6 cat years old. And both the dog and the cat are about 42 human years old.

That's a terrible way to teach your kid.
The dog is 6, which is like being a 42 year old human.

You and slack are either taking this way too seriously or arguing just to argue at this point.
No one is thinking they're converting mathematical units of measurement when they talk about dog years.
So yes, in your autistic hypothetical unit conversion, sure, you're right. A dog year and human year are both one fricking year so no one saying a year in a dogs life is literally 7 years.
This is asinine.

A 7 year old human has lived 1/11th of their life.
What's 1/11th of a dog's life? 1 year, ergo, a 7 year old human is 1 in dog years.
I'm laying all of this out nice and neat for you chodes.

Why? It's absolutely correct.
This is the only way you can be wrong. Congrats.
This is a semantics argument. Nothing is absolutely correct.
A 1 year old dog is THE EQUIVALENT of a 7 year old human. A 7 year old human is the equivalent age of a 1 year old dog.
The term "dog years" and "human years" are not terms you and those you are arguing with agree on.
Thus, you want to say a 7 year old human is 1 year in "dog years". As you define it, sure. Congrats on being "absolutely correct" in a semantics argument where you get to define the terms. Mathmatically, everything the OP is saying is correct. You should be able to acknowledge that even if you disagree with the terminology.

It is, only because I can't believe it's debatable.

It's only debatable if you're the type of person to take something like dog years as a literal mathematical conversion.

His entire premise for the math is faulty, but sure, the math is correct if you ignore the fault.

No one is thinking they're converting mathematical units of measurement when they talk about dog years.
If you convert a human's earth years to human years, you don't do anything. If you convert a human's earth years to dog years, then you divide by 7.
If you convert a dog's earth years to dog years, you don't do anything. If you convert a dog's earth years to human years, then you multiply by 7.

If you convert a dog's earth years to human years, then you multiply by 7.
A dog would essentially have 7 birthdays in its earth year. Each one of those is his dog year.
1 dog year/beer would be 1/7 of a human year/beer.
