This is the link to the image. It has 3.8mb. In my opinion that is way too much.

    Sorry for being a bit of a dick, I think you mean that the file “is 3.8MB”.

    “mb” would mean millibit, 3.8millibit is an impossibly small file size, and would never exist practically (though I an sure that with some clever maths a zip bomb could be designed so that one bit of data could be compressed into 3.8millibits)

    MB is the proper shorthand for MegaByte, a decent file size for a high quallity pucture, depending on the format and compression.

    Unless we analyze the image, and determine the image format and compression settings we have no idea of if 3.8MB is a resonable size of the file or not, and the mods have hidden a rar file in the picture file, it is highly improbable that would be the case however.

    Sorry for being a dick.

      Please stop purposefully misunderstanding people when the thing their trying to say is clear. Most annoying character trait one could have.

      I’ll add some context for anyone who might be interested.

      why does the poster image of c/linux have 3.8mb?

      When speaking Portuguese (possibly Spanish as well) you would say it like this, a imagem tem….

      It is quite common for native speakers of Portuguese (and probably Spanish) mix this up when speaking English.

          I’m just adding useful extra information to the thread.

          Sorry for being a bit of a dick, I think you mean that the file “is 3.8MB”.

          The sentence I was referring to in my original comment.

          Edit: added context
