ELI5: "Up to 100" means "<=100". So 0% still falls in that range. Could even be negative (counter-productive).

At least you know it will never over-work. (What ever does?)

[-] xia@lemmy.sdf.org 16 points 1 year ago

I guess if it over-performs you could always return it as defective.

Places where it would work well:

In packaging of toned milk:
"Max Fat content: 4%" can be "Up to 4% fat"
Similarly, in packaging of full cream milk:
"Min Fat content: 6%" can be "6% or more fat"

Upto x or more is just useless garbage.

As long as you have the ability to speak, the phrase 'Im up to 100% dead' will be true.

I don't remember what it was but I read something recently that said "up to 30+" and I had to reread it a few times

[-] Malgas@beehaw.org 7 points 1 year ago

Yeah I've definitely heard "up to [amount] or more" used in advertising. Which is just completely meaningless.

That’s XCOM, baby!

Consider working up to 8 hours a day at work.

"up to 100% effective" just means it's almost guaranteed not to be 100% effective except by accident in very rare cases lol

Would also work with

Glasses off: 85%* of customers agree!

9 out of 10 dentist recommend!*

*in a questionnaire where we ask dentist which tooth paste brands they recommend, and every one of them recommended multiple!

My baby has diapers that say “up to 100% leakproof”. It does not help my confidence in the product.

I think this meme has the images backwards... He should be taking off the rose-tinted glasses, not putting them on.

(Yes I know they're sunglasses and not rose-tinted)

[-] xia@lemmy.sdf.org 20 points 1 year ago

In John Carpenter's 1988 film They Live, Hoffman lenses are depicted as special sunglasses that allow the wearer to see hidden messages and the true nature of their environment. When the protagonist, Nada, puts on these glasses, he can perceive the concealed presence of aliens and view subliminal messages such as "OBEY" and "CONSUME," which are otherwise invisible to the naked eye. The lenses serve as a symbolic tool for revealing the film's critique of consumerism and social control.
