What is the best skill you possess that makes you stand above the average person?
Statistics.
That word does not mean what you think it means.

The word in question is “exponentially”.
And in any case, no.
Math (I’m a graduate student). And “exponentially more experienced than the average” means nothing as exponential is a progression, not a comparison between two values.
This is one of my biggest pet peeves lol

A simple “a lot” would do fine. “Orders of magnitude” as someone else suggested would work too.
Orders of magnitude maybe?
5sigma from the average person.
I’d go with “significantly”.
What this person is trying to say is they are exponentially better at being technically correct.
Exponentially the best kind of correct by an order of magnitude.
Your statement is cromulent.
Exponentially correct is the worst kind of magnitude
Hey now you can’t determine orders of magnitude before you know the values
My pet peeve with mathy stuff, “something is X times closer/smaller etc than something else”
If A is 1 away, saying B is ten times closer means what exactly? Is B 10 away? 9, 0.1?
I think what most examples are trying to say is that A is ten times the distance to B, but the way it is said if just annoying.“Ten times closer” is pretty unambiguously 0.1. What starts getting more confusing is “300% further” which is technically 4 but many understand as 3 (try replacing by 50%, 50% further is 1.5 not 0.5). Also “50% closer” being the same as twice closer while 50% further is only 1.5x further can get confusing too, and it gets even worse with “50% slower” - is speed now 1/1.5 (= it takes 50% more time) or 0.5/1 (= speed is reduced by 50%) ?
Most of the time it is pretty easy to know what the winter is trying to imply.
It gets really silly when using big numbers. e.g. a nanometre is 100,000 times smaller than a human hair.
Statistical modeling.
And yes, I am miffed about the use of the word “exponential” in this post’s title.
the base of my exponential function is 1
Same here; what’re the odds?
About 50/50. Either you are or you aren’t.
But what are the exponential odds?
50^2 / 50^2
I’d approach it logically.
If 50/50 = you are / you aren’t
Then
(50/50)^2 = you are are / you are aren’t / you aren’t are / you aren’t aren’t
Applying the locig gates AND : 25%. OR : 75%. XOR : 50% NAND : 75% NOR: 25% XNOR : 50%
The results average at 50/50.

Likewise, so higher than we thought lol.
Driving a forklift
Being in a freezer
Hello, fellow forklift operator.
I could say job-related things or my hobbies, but Ima go with Google-fu. Maybe just search engine fu.
I know way too many ‘first page people’ when it comes to results. No fuckin’ way. Learn how to dig. Do not take no for an answer from a search engine without trying a range of strategies to find what you’re looking for.
OK, I’m lying. This is part of my job. I teach academic research, and I hear these people with two sources tell me there aren’t enough sources for them to do a research paper on a given topic or that all these peer-reviewed journal articles say the same thing.
But it does extend into non-academic life. I was out of town, my older brother needed a U-Haul, drove 40 minutes to a place he knew, but there was a U-Haul less than 10 minutes away that he couldn’t find.
I’m surrounded by this.
Though Google doesn’t let you dig much past the first page anymore.
“10 billion results!” It says… then 4 pages in it just goes “never mind, that’s it”
Not littering.
Building custom computers. Been doing it for close to 20 years. Servers, gaming rigs, rendering workstations, console builds, ultra budget scrap builds, custom water loops, done it all.
Skateboarding. I’ve been skating since 1985, and aside from a couple years in the military, never really took a break from it.
At 48 years old, with a slew of injuries, I can’t do the kind of things I did in my 20s, but can sure hold my own on a mini ramp.
I know a lot about the Lincoln assassination.
Give me a fact that most people may not know?
The first woman to be executed by the US federal government was executed as a result of Lincoln’s assassination. Her name was Mary Surratt and her youngest son, Johnny, was considered Booth’s “right hand man”.
President Lincoln didn’t die instantly. He died nine hours later. I’m not American, so that may be commonly taught to kids in the USA - but I remember being surprised by this when I learned about it as an adult.
He was shot around 10:15 pm on April 14 and died across the street at 7:22 am on April 15.
I’m very comfortable doing CPR
I am, without trying to sound arrogant, much better at cornering, roundabouts, and general driving than a large part of the population in Australia.
I can enter a roundabout, in a preselected gear, at appropriate revs and speed. Load up the suspension just right, so I’m released into my chosen exit, kissing the apex with a release of energy that feels so sweet, smooth and safe, that it’s a beautiful part of my life.
All within safe thresholds, and always when I know it’s safe. And the way others use roundabouts, it’s always safer than the general population.

I’m an American who knows how to properly signal when going through a roundabout. This automatically makes me more knowledgeable than 99.99999% of American drivers.
As a fellow Australian I think this is partly down to the equipment as well.
I can take a roundabout much faster and more confidently in my sports car with a low centre of gravity and performance tyres compared to an SUV with cheapo tyres like a large proportion of the population drives.
I’m guessing you also drive a car which is more performant than most on the road.
No matter what you drive, it’s still not hard to be better than all the people who stall traffic because they don’t realize they can squeeze through a gap about 4 feet wider than their car so we can actually pre fill the turn lane while the light’s red.
Nor is it hard to actually know to accelerate smoothly through a turn instead of braking through it.
Or to know how to just stay in your clearly marked turn lane during your turn (literally marked through the entire intersection) instead of cutting off the other two turn lanes (this happened to me yesterday).
None of these things are actually much harder to do in a large car than a sports car, just obviously your actual speed and acceleration should change based on your car, tires, and everything else. I use the same principles I use when driving a fun car to help drive safely when it’s a minivan.

exponentially more experienced
no quadratic trinomial experience … guess i’ll show myself out then
Pretty much everything. The average person can’t read and write, can’t swim, can’t run or hold a steering wheel with two hands, because the average person doesn’t have two legs and two arms, etc
How many do they have?
1.9
I am “exponentially” better at nothing in comparison to others. There’s always this one kid, who will do whatever I do, far better than I can ever do.
Sounds you’re like the main character in Everything, Everywhere, All at Once . If you haven’t watched it I recommend
Yeah, I’ve seen the movie. The best cluster fuck experience I could ask for. I still do not know what the donut was all about. 😅
But that one kid isn’t the average person. Don’t put yourself down.
Thanks for the uplifting words ❤️
