there are about 3.6 million calories in a mammoth, or roughly 2,000 human days worth of calories

in one mammoth

[Romy @Romy_Holland]

i love grocery shopping in person so much. my ancient ancestors probably never saw this many calories cumulatively in their lifetime. i feel like a god.

TRUMP’S PLEDGE TO UNLEASH A ‘GOLDEN AGE’ OF US MANUFACTURING SPUTTERS – FT

[druid @druideight]

@lildrag86367388 @ArduaAdAsterisk @TheCriticalDri2 no, I just don’t hallucinate words

[druid @druideight]

@RebornDoom @NakkiNyan @TheCriticalDri2 Bud, I’m not repeating myself. It’s clear what I said.

[druid @druideight]

@lildrag86367388 @ArduaAdAsterisk @TheCriticalDri2 at no point have I ever argued the article doesn’t say that, you’re just illiterate

[druid @druideight]

@RebornDoom @NakkiNyan @TheCriticalDri2 Nope, it’s not that either, keep lying though. Or maybe you believe that? Unsure.

The reason is people like to know what a film (or any good) cost to manufacture 😂

[druid @druideight]

@RebornDoom @NakkiNyan @TheCriticalDri2 Yeah, that's not what I said 😂 really dumb strawman.

You've clearly got no business experience.

[druid @druideight]

@RebornDoom @NakkiNyan @TheCriticalDri2 I don’t know why that seems odd to you. “here’s what we spent on making the movie, after all other expenses here’s how much we need to make to break even”

Wow, so odd, who would think like that. Everyone who ever ran a business, dealt with COGS so on and so on.

[druid @druideight]

@DuckFisney69 @wazlations @andaluzuelo @TheCriticalDri2 Yeah, this was engagement bait and not just a poorly written post. Brilliant.

How do you feel about the moon landing?

[druid @druideight]

@RebornDoom @NakkiNyan @TheCriticalDri2 I have no idea why you think the word marketing would change anything here.

“like everyone does” sure, I mean it’s an extremely dumb way to guesstimate profitability anyways, might as well just assume that’s what is meant

[druid @druideight]

@oakbeachx @TheCriticalDri2 there’s one source of income… well that’s not true

it’s also irrelevant, but I’m learning movie folks seem unaware of basic business principles and work only in vague sales numbers

[druid @druideight]

@RebornDoom @NakkiNyan @TheCriticalDri2 If that were true they probably would have picked a number that made more sense.

They’re just bad at communicating.

[druid @druideight]

@AM7_aoe What you want to do is calculate the money you paid to the action figure manufacturer. That’s just an extra step.

How much money did you profit from the action figures, everything else is noise and not relevant.

Replace all police officers with Gurkhas. Bipartisan move that satisfies twin requirements for both diversity and competence in policing. Everybody loves the Gurkhas and it makes public spaces more thrilling if you know your every move is being tracked by Gurkhas hiding in trees

[druid @druideight]

@AM7_aoe Amazing, yes. Now walk that one level down and what is the final equation?

[druid @druideight]

@AM7_aoe How on earth is this even remotely debatable 😂 and how are you reading a literal definition of this and still not understanding.

You can add a million steps to a break even analysis, add VoD, add action figures. At the end of the day it’s did you bring in as much as you spent.

[druid @druideight]

@RebornDoom @NakkiNyan @TheCriticalDri2 The way they wrote it, that’s a fair analysis for anyone financially literate, yes.

The article does specify box office. Which is questionable, but that’s another discussion.

[druid @druideight]

@AM7_aoe Total profit = total spend, not income bud

If you need $100 to break even you need $100 profit, not sales.

[druid @druideight]

@RebornDoom @NakkiNyan @TheCriticalDri2 Every accountant everywhere does.

Box office is sales. Not how much money you actually made.

[druid @druideight]

@NakkiNyan @TheCriticalDri2 That’s correct, very impressive.

[druid @druideight]

@AM7_aoe Absolutely not 😂 this is the dumbest discussion.

Breaking even is money you make. End of story. If you need $315 to break even you need $315.

What you’re talking about is sales. We need X sales to break even. Not the same fucking thing.
