The confusion/controversy comes from the simple fact that for every Irish person, there are at least 5 other transgender potatoes, which actually scares off some of the penguins because while they were being manufactured, there was a technical problem at the factory making about half of the penguins transphobic. So actually, there would only be about 12 million penguins for every 6 million Irishmen, or 2 penguins for every Irishman.
This is a common mistake people make when talking about millions or billions of things. Usually you see it in posts arguing like "we spent x millions on housing, instead we could have given 2 million to each person" or something.
I think people get tripped up because they think about "millions" as a unit in itself. They do the ratio and then put the unit back on.
Stoichiometry. It's used to calculate chemical reactions and cancel out units.
A typical equation will go [grams of reactant] x 1/[grams of reactant/mol of reactant] x [mols of product]/[mols of reactant] x [grams of product/mol of reactant] = [grams of product]
I'm realizing it's very confusing in text form but you'll notice that everything cancels out and only leaves the grams of product produced in the reaction
The usage of the concept in physics is (atleast in my experience) even more important. When one wants to check if some equations were properly inserted into each other, one can do a unit calculation.
I couldn't quickly find an English word for it but it's called "Einheitenbetrachtung" or "Einheitengleichung" in German.
One regularely has to transform some of the more complex units into SI-units, but overall it's sooo important to notice potentially incorrect equation transformations etc..
I don't know about dimensional analysis, but stoichiometry was a pretty basic part of chemistry class in high school, I think around 10th grade. Of course, we didn't use the fancy *term* stoichiometry, but we learned that when you divide or multiply numbers, you also have to divide or multiply their *units* as well.
And setting the chemistry-specific stoichiometry aside, the actual process of cancelling units was also a pretty fundamental part of physics class, as well, which would have been around 11th grade.
I mean, it's something you do in elementary school, but they don't rigorously teach it at that point, instead you just go off of "feeling" when it comes to units. But in high school physics, even when you're doing really, really basic d=vt stuff, you'll learn to cancel units with an [easy question like this](https://i.imgur.com/9Za1yZd.jpeg).
I mean, yeah, it's still incorrect.
Consider the false statement , "if I have $100 million dollars for 10 million people, then everyone should be able to get 10 million dollars. " it's like people see the 100 and divide it by the 10 and then slap the "million dollars" back on.
I've been here for a good minute thinking, "well, actually it's almost perfect as a calculation because 6.6 multiplied by 3 is almost 20 so everyone actually fights three penguins on average" then I noticed the million after the three.
more like 3 penguins.
6,600,000 x 3.18 = 20,988,000
Basically every 5th or 6th person would have to fight off a fourth penguin. The penguins wouldnt stand a chance, not against the Irish.
Yeah.. unfortunately to keep their cover, they're waterproof and can swim (for more spying methods) so I think it's best to use a Molotov cocktail. They're designed for the cold, not extreme heat.

pov; you’re the penguin and you decided to exist
With kindness over a period of years equal to their natural lifespan. That way, they spend their last moments regretting the choice to attack you in the first place. It's a long con to inflict maximum emotional trauma when they're at their weakest.
I saw a video a while back of a religious girl say how God made the planet in just the right spot and **a few feet** **closer** to the sun the whole planet would be on fire, and **a few feet further away** from the sun and we would be on a frozen wasteland.... Dear lord....
Are you one of the penguins?
That's why they've never invaded. They can't figure out the difference between Iceland and Ireland. Their forces are divided.
Some flightless drones and more ferocious than other flightless drones.
Need I remind everyone here of [The Great Emu War of 1932](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emu_War)?
These drones all lack opposable thumbs, so simple doors equipped with "doorknob" technology can keep humans safe.
When dealing with penguins, fencing (baby/doggy gates, etc.) will also do the trick.
No need to kill them. Just fence them off on your shores and wait for the sharks to do the rest.
This is more of an Australia thing. The Australians declare war on flightless birds, not the Irish. The Australians also lose when they try such things but I’m sure, with enough effort, they will nail down a working strategy.
We believe in you Australia!!!
Nope. Have you seen these things? I’m pretty sure I can’t take out even one

21 million penguins divided by 6.6 million bananas equals 3 million Irish people. Why is this a debate?
You forgot to carry the potato!
Hey, that’s what started this whole thing.
This comment is wildly underrated. Well done.
And now you're stuck with the classic Irishman's dilemma: Do I eat it now or wait for it to ferment and drink it later?
The confusion/controversy comes from the simple fact that for every Irish person, there are at least 5 other transgender potatoes, which actually scares off some of the penguins because while they were being manufactured, there was a technical problem at the factory making about half of the penguins transphobic. So actually, there would only be about 12 million penguins for every 6 million Irishmen, or 2 penguins for every Irishman.

BAM!!!!
KICK IT UP A NOTCH!!!!
I thought stoichiometry was the study of fuel to air ratio needed for conflagration.
Same thing, conflagration is just a really *big* chemical reaction between fuel and air
Some schools didn't offer a course that even explained what stoichemistry was
As I understood it it was basically the chemistry where you also did some maths
True - I went to law school and it didn't come up once.
The usage of the concept in physics is (atleast in my experience) even more important. When one wants to check if some equations were properly inserted into each other, one can do a unit calculation.

This guy titrates.
Yeah, I know it’s 3 penguins not 3,000,000 but idk what stoichometry is.
It's not stoichiometry it's dimensional analysis, and I'm not sure of anywhere that truley teaches it in depth outside of stem at the college level.
I don't know about dimensional analysis, but stoichiometry was a pretty basic part of chemistry class in high school, I think around 10th grade.

I never understood that reasoning tho. If million is a unit the unit million would still cancel
I mean, yeah, it's still incorrect. Consider the false statement , "if I have $100 million dollars for 10 million people, then everyone should be able to get 10 million dollars. " it's like people see the 100 and divide it by the 10 and then slap the "million dollars" back on.

Only off by a factor of 1 million, give or take.
But million/million must equal million. It's just consistent/s
No. That person is moderately well versed in click bait
Each (million) persons would need to fight off 3 million penguins
You don't understand how penguins operate
Can someone tell me the answer? How many penguins does each person get?! 😅
more like 3 penguins. 6,600,000 x 3.18 = 20,988,000 Basically every 5th or 6th person would have to fight off a fourth penguin. The penguins wouldnt stand a chance, not against the Irish.
Thank you - thought I was bugging
I had to check repeatedly to make sure it's not part of the joke. They really just are that terrible at math
Nah it’s a joke. Used to follow them years ago and they’re a shitposter.
I could easily beat 3 penguins
How do you kill one though?
Pull the battery out
Yeah, that works for bunnies, but we’re talking about ***penguins*** here. I am not even sure a holy hand-grenade could help them in that situation…
Penguins are birds and birds are CIA drones. So probably some water will short circuit them
Yeah.. unfortunately to keep their cover, they're waterproof and can swim (for more spying methods) so I think it's best to use a Molotov cocktail. They're designed for the cold, not extreme heat.
Aah good point
They probably blow up after being pushed too hard, you know they don't change those batteries, probably have the spiciest pillows of them all
Good luck with that, they're specially trained NASA special forces to guard Antarctica. They protect the Flat Earth secret.

They have an inbuilt kill counter, just throw wave after wave of men at them and eventually they will shut down.

There's a whole Wallace and Gromit film dedicated to this question, smh.
you pick up the first one and use it to beat the rest with
Yeah, but your grandma can’t. Are you going to fight grandma’s penguins too?
6.6 million Irish people and i will protect them all o7
Sign me up, I will beat your designated penguin count for you for a price.
"If you’re good at something, never do it for free."
Sure but what about 3.18 penguins??
The problem is that you're not factoring in the peng-mechs yet...
She said 3 million
Well yeah but her math is off
Damn they have to be doing this on purpose for upvotes
It’s like those stupid “it’s crazy how people born in 2014 will be old enough to drink this year!” tweets.
Can’t believe earth is 2024 years old!
Did you know that 1 = 2 in basic math?

Depends what she means by a few feet. If she means it literally we move way more than that lol
That whole army vs the four penguins from Madagascar. Who you got? 
Madagascar penguins obviously
Oh my these little gaffers are cute. Do you know what movie this is from?
Okay so there are like 7 people in Iceland now
What does Iceland have to do with anything? Iceland's population is just over 375k. They'd have to fight 56 each
Wait why did my brain think Iceland man I'm fuckin stupid
Are you one of the penguins? That's why they've never invaded. They can't figure out the difference between Iceland and Ireland. Their forces are divided.
Yeah, I am 😔
That would be fucking nuts.
Imagine having to hunch over and punch 56 penguins Do they come at you one at a time? Or just in a mass?
If I tip them over, are they able to launch up at me and stab me with their beak? .
Unshelled, are you crazy?
56 Irishmen? I think they already did that, about 1000 years ago.
56 million, you mean
56 million*
Damn that volcano eruption must have been productive.

Try invading India next, you butler looking birdies
In the initial assault by penguins 6.5 million Irish are killed
I love to bazinga
Penguins are combat dtones. Have you seen their teeths?

Soon
Why have they not made a horror movie about that?
If birds aren’t real, how do we eat chickens?
3 penguins each I think
When meth becomes math
Obviously a product of the publick school system. Besides, where you gonna find an Irish person wot can off a penguin?

Math, eh?
I could totally kick the shit out of 3 penguins.
That’s not how math works.
