Some Pythagori in this thread as well :)
Confidently Incorrect
When people are way too smug about their wrong answer.
Posting guidelines.
All posts in this community have come from elsewhere, it is not original content, the poster in this community is not OP. The person who posts in this community isn’t necessarily endorsing whatever the post is talking about and they are not looking to argue with you about the content in the post.
You are welcome to discuss and debate any topic but arguments are not welcome here. I consider debate/discussions to be civil; people with different opinions participating in respectful conversations. It becomes an argument as soon as someone becomes aggressive, nasty, insulting or just plain unpleasant. Report argumentative comments, then ignore them.
There is currently no rule about how recent a post needs to be because the community is about the comeback part, not the topic.
Rules:
• Be civil and remember the human.
• No trolling, insults or name calling. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone.
• No bigotry of any kind, including homophobia, transphobia, sexism and racism.
• You are welcome to discuss and debate any topic but arguments are not welcome here.

• Try not to get too political. A lot of these posts will involve politics, but this isn’t the place for political arguments.
• Participate in good faith - don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguements sake.
• Mark NSFW posts if they contain nudity.
• Satire is allowed but please start the post title with [satire] so other users can filter it out if they’d like.

This community follows the rules of the lemmy.world instance and the lemmy.org code of conduct. I’ve summarised them here:
- Be civil, remember the human.
- No insulting or harassing other members. That includes name calling.
- Respect differences of opinion. Civil discussion/debate is fine, arguing is not. Criticise ideas, not people.
- Keep unrequested/unstructured critique to a minimum.
- Remember we have all chosen to be here voluntarily. Respect the spent time and effort people have spent creating posts in order to share something they find amusing with you.
- Swearing in general is fine, swearing to insult another commenter isn’t.
- No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia or any other type of bigotry.
- No incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies.
Guy #1 is correct and I wouldn't say guy #2 is confidently incorrect, as he only sent one message.
I’m genuinely confused, what is incorrect here? Tax deduction is not done?
Guy #1 calculates the payment per month. Guy #2 tries to "correct" him by calculating the payment per year. Guy #1 suggests that Guy #2 divide his answer by 12.
I want to get to the bottom of this OP. Do you think that the guy who said pythagoras is the one that is confidently incorrect?
Yes, first guy is confidently incorrect, pythagorus lived over 2,500 years ago, so the chances of him operating that twitter account are slim at best.
Haven't played Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, have you?
No, middle guy thought he’d corrected first guy but first guy was correct all along.
Ok got it.. I thought you were mocking the guy that said Pythagoras.
No, I just particularly liked his comeback.
first/last person (same person) is incorrect; it says 258k/month, therefore you wouldn't divide said 9% by 12, i.e. equates to 4500/month on 50k.
edit, wait, no, im wrong, first guy is correct; 2.8 million per month on the income as well
Yea, that's the punch. All the numbers are per month, guy confidently incorectly kicks in with a yearly figure, gets actually corrected.
What's the issue here? Seems correct to me
