gollark: Yes, but I said "less than twice as much".
gollark: Vaguely relatedly, gaining 1 megadollar would probably cause less than twice as much as a QoL improvement as 0.5 megadollars.
gollark: I mean, you'd have a thousand boxes.
gollark: Except the shipping for #2 would be more annoying.
gollark: I mean, on the extreme end, you probably want 10 gigadollars less than 10 times as much as you want 1 gigadollar, inasmuch as your life would be basically the same.
