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

But, write that a different way, 7 dog years is equal to one human year. Then you will see that 1 dog year is 1/7 of a human year.
What? You're just making up your own fractions/ratios.
If you live to year 1 as a human, that is 7 years in dog years.
If your dog lives a dog year, that is 1/7 of a human year.

This makes me question everything now.
Are you saying coffee is not literally "mom fuel"?
Is this hot mess not really blessed?
We should not be mermaids?
I need to sit down. This is heavy.

No, not wrong. A 7 year old dog (using the calendar year that we all know) is roughly equivalent to a 49 year old human developmentally. Ergo, 7 human beers is roughly equivalent to 1 dog beer.
Yeah, so how many human years has that dog lived if it only lived until 7 dog years?

The saying is trying to be clever but is backwards and makes no sense. 1 human year is equal to 7 dog years, yet if a human says “but in dog years Ive only had one” when referencing the 7 beers theyve drank, its backwards.

Maybe the beer saying is right and the year saying is the one that's been wrong the whole time.

49.
You're overthinking this. Calendar years and human beers are the base.

Why are you responding to me in such an aggressive tone?

You are either trolling or have gone completely off the rails with your logic here.

No. I am not. You are going the wrong way.
The point of the dog years thing is to make the dog seem as old as humans tend to live.
You multiply the dog's years by 7 to get their human years.
If the dog lives to 1 human year, it is 7 dog years.
What if the dog only lives to 1 dog year?

If a 35 year old has drank 70 beers over his life, that's equivalent to a 5 year old dog drinking 10 beers.

Agreed.
So why wouldn't you multiply the dog's beers by 7 to get to their human beers??

Right, and they are really saying they had a swig of beer.

Because they have only had one dog beer, which is 1/7 a human beer.
Dog beers to human beers: iiiiiii = I
One dog beer = i

Dog years are what a dog lives. The 7x number is the approximate number of years the dog would be in age if it were human.
A 10 year old dog, if converted to the equal life of a human, is 70.
There is no such thing as 70 dog years. Dogs don't live that long.

Replace "years" with "beers" and otherwise say exactly what you just said.
