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

You have the saying wrong.

When I ask you how old your dog is and you say 7, one of us would then say, “so he’s 49 in dog years.”

If the dog lives to 1 human year, it is 7 dog years.
And here is where you go wrong.
, thank you. It's a circular argument. A 7 year old dog is 7 in dog years and 49 in human years. Trying to say a dog is 7 years old and 49 in dog years is circular.
A 1 year old dog is 7 in human years. A 7 year old human is 1 in dog years.

Preposterous. She's equivalent to a 10 year old dog

Sure. OP is right, but the saying is just a cute saying to sell shirts or make memes.
The notion a 1 year old dog is 7 human years old made me laugh though.

Nope. You have to use your brain to understand this one...
quote:That's how it's used, yes, but it's not used correctly. If you want to tell a dog's age in dog years, then there is no conversion. It's just the number of times he's been around the sun.
the term “dog years” is used to imply how old the dog would be in human years, theoretically.
Same goes if you want to know a human's age in human years. That one's pretty easy, right? How old is a 7 year old human in human years? Well, he's fricking 7. How old is a 7 year old dog in dog years? fricking 7. A conversion is only necessary if you want to know a human in dog years, or a dog in HUMAN years.

Dude. It's a simple tool just used to put into context how old a dog really is. It shouldn't be this serious of a debate.

A dog after 1 year is 1 year in human years.
In order to put into context what that means in respect to the aging of dogs, people created "dog years" to simplify it. After 1 year, a dog is 7 "in dog years" because they age differently than humans.
This is such an asinine argument and some of you are just being ridiculous just to argue.

Dog life span - 4015 days (11*365)
Human life span - 28105 days (77*365)
For a dog relative to a human, everything is 1/7th. For a human relative to a dog, everything is 7x.
So, if you hooked up with 70 females in your total life span, how many would a dog need to match you?

We're converting the dog's age to human years, so we should be saying that a dog is "X human years" old. What if we were converting a dog's age to cat years? Would you still say he's "X dog years" old, or would it make more sense to say he's "X cat years" old?
If you convert a foot to a meter, are you still going to use feet as your unit after converting?

This isn't a unit conversion.
It's a cutesy way to explain to your kid why their puppy died after 15 years and they will live to 80+.
This is by far the most ridiculous argument I've ever been a part of on this website.

That's not what I asked. I asked how old a 70 year old woman was in dog years, and the answer to that is 10.

This is such an asinine argument and some of you are just being ridiculous just to argue.
Just accept this simple fact: a 1 (earth) year old dog is 1 dog year old. Because he's a dog. A year is a year. Just like a 1 (earth) year old human is 1 human year old. We aren't making any equivalencies yet.
If we do want to convey an approximate equivalency in body aging, then we would have to express the dog's age in human years, or the human's age in dog years.
