    Funny how a month with 28, sometimes 29, days costs the same as the months with 31 days.

      Funny how it’s probably averaged out over 12 months instead or something.

                I got the same error on a different vid from the bot, the server it’s linking to might be having issues. Or the bot is broken, IDK.

        It must be the landlords, because it benefits them to scam their tenants out of three extra days.

        There are plenty of services that you might not have for a year though.

          That’s why it’s averaged over each month, there for 6 months, you pay for 6 instead of 12.

            But if it’s averaged for a year and you only subscribe or whatever in February it’s less than the yearly average for a month.

              So…? Do you measure each piece of cake with a caliper…?

                There are an average of 30.437 days in a month so if you pay a monthly payment for your average February that’s 2.437 days off the average. That’s nearly 10% of a month.

                And yes if you are selling pieces of cake they should be the same size.

                  You’re buying a whole cake and returning the sections you didn’t use. You’re cutting your own pieces…. It’s only your own fault if they aren’t perfectly identical.

                  Also, every 4th feb has an extra day, so your math isn’t even correct anyways. Nice attempt.

                    You’re not returning anything if you pay per month and one month is shorter. Nice attempt.

                    Also, I said your average February not average number of days in February. Your average February has 28 days while your average number of days in February has obviously 1/28th more days. Just like your average person has two hands, it’s based on the average of the buckets not the average in the buckets.

                    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Average

                    The most frequently occurring number in a list is called the mode. For example, the mode of the list (1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4) is 3.

      If every month was 28 days long one year would be 13 identical months! We could take a whole month off every year!

        13 months plus one day. 13×28+1=365

        Plus an additional day on leap years.
