The European tally line diagonal from top left to bottom right feels wrong.

I usually see it the other way.

[-] shaman1093@lemmy.ml 11 points 5 months ago

This is the way

I've always felt the same about the "no" sign:

[-] adam_y@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Looks to me as if all the ghosts have been busted.

5th panel is lit

[-] rauls4@lemm.ee 25 points 5 months ago

Every time this gets posted it gets debunked.

[-] NemoWuMing@lemmy.world 27 points 5 months ago

Oh? I can confirm it's true for North America and China, at least.

Is it the middle one that gets debunked?

[-] hswolf@lemmy.world 24 points 5 months ago

Brazilian here, some of us do use the middle one

I dig that one. I'm going to start using it over the N American set

[-] Dagnet@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Personally I've never seen the middle one but that just my personal experience ofc. What I do myself is the left one with a horizontal line

Edit: forgot to mention I'm from Brazil too

[-] Vilian@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 months ago

[-] Vilian@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 months ago

bro, how??, how you never saw it??, i'm so confused, my life was a ilusion??

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 points 5 months ago

Honestly, it's the best one. The left system sometimes has users miscounting strikes, with the squares it's a square or it isn't.

The right one...

Come on now, guys.

[-] tiredofsametab@kbin.run 17 points 5 months ago

Right one is 100% used in Japan. Particularly at bars and such for keeping track of how many of that drink the person/table has ordered.

[-] Akisamb@programming.dev 5 points 5 months ago

French here we use both the middle and the left. It depends on the group of friends.

[-] zagaberoo@beehaw.org 1 points 5 months ago

Debunked how? The middle one is the only one I haven't encountered in the wild.

[-] Umbrias@beehaw.org 3 points 5 months ago

I do a modified version of the middle one, common for people like naturalists apparently, which does four dots to form the vertices of a grid, 1-4, four lines to successively complete a square, 5-8, two lines forming an x in the middle of the square, 9-10.

[-] gianni@lemmy.ca 21 points 5 months ago

Since when is Brazil not part of South America?

[-] moroni@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 months ago

We’re special. 😂 I guess because we are a lot similar to other South American countries, but also very different. For instance, we don’t even speak Spanish.

[-] Vytle@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

Thought this was Loss for a second

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 2 points 5 months ago

I downvoted instinctively.

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 9 points 5 months ago

I do the middle one but start with 4 dots, then connect those dots with lines, then do 2 lines crossing in the middle. it gives you 10 in a small space. So in the pictures there it would be 3, 5, 7, 8, 9.

[-] absentbird@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago

That sounds really efficient.

[-] downpunxx@fedia.io 6 points 5 months ago
