    Only if you get two.

    I was wanting to buy say, an Enya CD…

    I would be happier if I get one for half price, rather than getting two of the same album for full price.

    One moves twice as much product as the other.

    Not if you want to buy a hammer. BOGO costs you twice as much as -50% and you’d have to carry out two hammers like a madman.

        Don’t hammer whilst on drugs kids.

        It can be a gateway to ridiculous trousers.

    To be even more precise than the other comments: This is only the same deal if you buy an even number of them.

    Y’all, they are not wrong mathematically if you are buying things in pairs, it only doean’t work if you are buyng an odd number of things. So not entirely as wrong as you all seem to be indicating…

      Your argument “They’re the same only under specific conditions” only proves they’re not the same.

        I was merely saying that those ‘specific conditions’ occur half of the time though, so I do not beleive that is entirely crazy to say they are not so different.

    Would you rather buy a car that’s 50% off, or a car that’s BOGO

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
