Same. It actually took me a second to get the joke, then I realized I was the joke

[-] essell@lemmy.world 28 points 3 days ago

Me too. I was looking around for the funny. It was me.

Guilty. I used the sum symbol for a fancy "E" riffling through my phone keyboards. I know there is a better ascii character.

[-] rwrwefwef@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

It's not an E; it's a Sigma standing in for summation.

I was initially like, "really, under 2? Cheapass county can't even cover kids under 10?"

My foolishness knows no bounds

it's just an error in font, I took a minute to find the real meaning of this ad 😬

Kids under aye-aye

[-] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 28 points 2 days ago

Took me a good while to read it as 11 so it is pretty confusing tbf

  5    10
 101  1010

I think I solved it

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago

I think it’s

 8   11

Which is in Roman numerals

VIII   XI

But also works in arabic numerals

 5    10
 3    1
β€”β€”β€”β€”
 8    11

Checkmate god and baby Jesus.

In print, yes, in hand written maths I don't mind the line

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

Until there's a lowercase L, or you're taking the absolute value of something ...

[-] toynbee@piefed.social 2 points 2 days ago

I don't really handwrite anything these days, but my brother always taught me to put a little upturned curve at the bottom of letters to differentiate them from similar-looking numbers.

[-] moistclump@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Is this loss?

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 10 points 2 days ago

Yep I couldn't understand why they chose to use Roman notation. To be honest though 11 is a weird age cut off to have picked.

[-] Chrobin@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 days ago

They probably decided on 10 or below, but it didn't sound as catchy in the marketing

[-] tetris11@feddit.uk 4 points 2 days ago

people kept thinking it was binary for 2 during audience testing

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 2 days ago

Binary for three. Two would be 1 0 which would then get confused with 10 which would actually take us full circle.

[-] tetris11@feddit.uk 2 points 2 days ago

That's why the changed it from 10 to 11 during testing, because people kept thinking it meant 2

[-] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 30 points 3 days ago

At first I tough that that was a big ass kid for being under 2yo.

β…‘ <> I i L l

Had to copy the character and paste i elsewhere to see that it was not two letters.

I think in order to see a major unified system font update, we are going to need two huge corporations battle each other in court.

Plus a class action lawsuit by guys named AL

[-] huquad@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 days ago

Clearly they mean under 3

[-] redbeardgecko@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

So did one to be honest

[-] qwestjest78@lemmy.ca 12 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

That kid is clearly not under 2 though. Should be that all kids ride free

[-] X@piefed.world 10 points 3 days ago

The fine print:

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

It is too, accurate for kids under eleven.

[-] derry@midwest.social 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Kids under or travel free

[-] swiftywizard@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 days ago

I really do not understand, now is that supposed to mean II or XI?

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

No, but seriously. What the fuck?

[-] espentan@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Let's Do London.. hmm..

[-] nonentity@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

It’s an homophonic alliteration in binary.

Kids under three ride free.

[-] sudoMakeUser@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago

Kids under 2' is a whole different type of measurement

[-] Chick0nPlayz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I'd prefer London do me
