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.
How dare you bring logic and reason into this!
Dammit I wanted to be irrationally angry at 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.
Remember what the door knob said.
It must be the landlords, because it benefits them to scam their tenants out of three extra days.
That’s why it’s averaged over each month, there for 6 months, you pay for 6 instead of 12.
So…? Do you measure each piece of cake with a caliper…?
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.
Why are you using mode instead of the standard average? You link averages, than quote a part from “mode” instead of the standard average.
Do you think that defends your point? That you’re intentionally using an obscure definition instead of the standard?
Also, sleazy as shit you edit your comments with different information after the fact.
Please provide these plenty of examples of things you can pay for monthly. Why do you keep moving the goals posts instead of defending your original claim…?
So you don’t have any examples of things that are paid for monthly…?
What a fucking shocker…. Every comment avoids defending their point and argues with goalpost moving…
Most of those pay by month are year leases, so yeah you’re agreeing to pay for the year, averaged
The returning was using an example to support my argument.
The average person doesn’t have two hands… that’s a completely false statement.
No one has 3 hands to bring the average back up, and by saying the average is 2, you are claiming no one has 1 or zero hands. Thats clearly false, so the average can’t be 2…
Isn’t averages taught in second grade…?
And you’re free to argue that you’re paying for 28 days instead of 31. Some are willing to give you a deal just to shut you up. The vast majority are yearly leases that are averaged. Can you provide an example of something you pay for just one month? That’s not daily or weekly instead wrapped into monthly…?
No, the average person has less than two hands, and your whole example isn’t even correct. Lots of people are missing fingers or portions of their hands…
Also, the average February has more than 28 days since every fourth has an additional day to bring the average up.
It really sounds like you don’t understand what the term average means here….
You really can’t seem to stick to the same point can you? And where’s the examples? You don’t have any do you? You claimed there was plenty, let’s see them.
Your first comment you use decimals, and now you’re saying everything has to be whole numbers… can’t change your story to fit what you want mate.
Stop moving the goalposts, you made a mistake, don’t try to argue different points to save face. Take the L and move on.
Nice “whole numbers” lmfao…
The average American isn’t white, most are mixed race and not white…. So you aren’t even correct there either.
You really don’t know what you’re talking about here and have argued 5 different irrelevant points.
Where’s your examples? Where is your proof of anything you’ve claimed? You can’t support anything you’ve claimed and bloviated over.
The only one needing to take the L is you, you made a mistake and have tripled down on 5 completely different irrelevant points to try and save face.
You’ve proved nothing but bloviate about nothing relevant to the discussion.
The average American is not white, the average person has less than two hands… averages don’t NEED to be rounded to a whole number, that’s just plain wrong.
Maybe read your own source…?
Mode is secondary, you’re intentionally choosing a non-standard average to attempt to detract from the main point. And even mode can be decimal as well… so what point do you even think that’s making here anyways…?
I’ll retake second grade once you learn basic reading comprehension…. The fact you need to specify mode instead of average should be more than enough to show you’re trying to mislead here…
And again, please provide the examples of stuff you pay for monthly, you said there is plenty, and haven’t listed one, and have only moved the goalposts every comment instead of answering a very simple follow up to your original main point…:
Uhhh… mode is an average, one of many, but not the standard… I never said or claimed otherwise dude. Why do you keep insulting me instead of defending your original point…?
Yet again you’re wrong.
Please provide these plenty of examples of things you can pay for monthly. Why do you keep moving the goals posts instead of defending your original claim…?
You’ve yet to answer the main question. And this goal post moving is asinine.
Please provide these plenty of examples of things you can pay for monthly. Why do you keep moving the goals posts instead of defending your original claim…?
There is more than one average and you’re intentionally choosing an obscure one.
Please provide these plenty of examples of things you can pay for monthly. Why do you keep moving the goals posts instead of defending your original claim…?
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.
Landlords would get one extra month of money
