[Justin Bieber Slowed Down 800%]

I love you internet, but let’s do a math lesson. The original Bieber track is 3:17, or 197 seconds. 35:29 is 2129 seconds. 197/2129 = 0.0925, which is just a touch over 1/11. Besides which, I’m not even sure you can slow something down 800%. (You can increase speed by 800%, but even that means it’s at 9x speed, not 8x.) Once you put the brakes on Bieber to 100%, he’s stopped, unless you’re really talking acceleration rather than velocity, in which case I guess, maybe, there’s a way in which you could suppose that an 800% slowdown could possibly mean that the track would play in reverse at 1/7 the speed of the original Bieber? Fuck, now I’m confused.
