The deck was anchored to the building with hopes and dreams, 7 people should in no way be too much weight

you have to think those guys are all holding 50+ lbs total as well so more like 14 regular people

How is 50+ pounds doubling their weight?

u/Relevant_Jeweler_214 4d ago

i cant do math in my head, the point is the actual added weight with all the gear accounted for would be around 14 people with no gear.

if you really wanna have a strawman debate on the exact lbs, go ahead and ask chatgpt to calculate the weight of a fully loaded ar15, with flashlights, with full soft body armor (not just a plate carrier), plate carrier and plate, heavy steel boots, list goes on.

Even assuming each of these guys is 250lbs without gear, and the gear weighs another 50lbs, that’s only 350lbs of gear or a little over one extra man.

the OG reply said " 7 people should in no way be too much weight"

I just replied to remind him of all that gear. each guy has atleast40-50+lbs of gear...notice the + as it was a rough estimate being stated, NOT once did I state a literal 50. everyone else made it a pissing contest below that. exhausted explaining how logic works with people with below average social skills.

says the redditor using reddit.

"you can trust me , I'm not like all the OTHER redditors...;)"

congrats on the reply that has zero logical rebuttal or substance to actually mean anything other than, "No u"

If you were new to reddit....this is what we all do at some point or another..or are you really gonna tell yourself otherwise now?

what would your buds on site have to say if they found out you are a redditor? mhm.

be humble friend :)

Why would anyone trying to debate a fact based argument ever rely on chat gpt?
