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

That is how we've always said it, but this thread has made me reject the old saying in favor of this new beer way of thinking.
"In dog years" is meant to compare the relative age of the dog if dogs lived as long as humans (i.e. lived in human years). Therefore, it's converting the dog years to human years.
We have no basis of comparison for 49 dog years. Logically, the 49 represents human years.
We're on the verge of some Mandela Effect shite here, guys.

I just posted the chart.
A 70 year old human is 10 in dog years, not 490 like you guys are arguing.

Here's my chart:
Dog beers to human beers: bbbbbbb = B
One dog beer = b
Dog beers to human beers: bbbbbbb = B
One dog beer = b

Precisely.
A 35 year old human is 5 in dog years, not 245.

4 pages, no one has tried to write a new accurate t-shirt saying!

I don't care how this thread shakes out, I'm going to flip this shite IRL and blow everyone's mind (or piss them off).
And I am going to pretend like it's always been that way and call them crazy.

Have you ever seen Sandlot?
How old did that dog live to?

For starters, you and I are about half the posts.
Secondly, I reject your premise.

In tortoise beers, I've only had one.

Do it.
This all started when I checked the math at weekly trivia. Some team had it as their name.
It isn't their name anymore.

I think of it this way.
A 5 year old dog is:
5 in human years (actually how old he is in the years humans measure)
35 in dog years (not actually human years, but converted years that represent that dogs live 1/7 as long as humans. Hence, dog years)

You guys have it backwards. That makes no sense. A 7 year old dog is equivalent to a 49 year old human.
1 dog year = 7 human years, or whatever the actual conversion is.
Nope. You have to use your brain to understand this one...
A one year old dog is one year old in human years. Human years are human years, and the term “dog years” is used to imply how old the dog would be in human years, theoretically. It is always the larger number. When I ask you how old your dog is and you say a number based on our calendar, that is in human years. A dog born in May 2018 is not 1 in dog years. He’s 1 in human years and 7 in dog years.
1 dog year is not 7 human years. It only goes one direction. 1 human year is 7 dog years. The term “dog years” is ALWAYS the number of human years multiplied by 7.
I don’t know how many different ways I can explain the same, extremely simple concept. But since you still don’t get it...

, an argument can be made the original saying is where people are confused, so go right ahead. A dog year is 365 days. That's the base.

Think about what the chart is trying to imply.
GRTiger had a good summary in an earlier post from my rebuttals earlier.

Disagreed.
A dog that is 365 days old is 1 year old and equivalent to a 7 year old human, ergo, 1 year for dogs is the same as 7 years for humans, ergo, 1 beer for dogs is the same as 7 for humans.

A human year is 365 days, or one year.
Dogs live much shorter lives than humans, like 1/7 of of a human life. That's why you can own multiple generations of dogs in your lifetime. So, to make ourselves feel better, we scale up the years they are alive to match our whole life span. We do that by multiplying their age in human years by 7 to get their age in dog years.
So, if our dog lived to just one dog year, it would have only lived 1/7 of a year, or 52.14 days.

Right, but the term “dog years” is applied to the multiplied number. A dog that is 365 days old is 1 year old (in human years) and 7 years old in “dog years.”
