I usually use 100 instead of 1 so that the only decimals are the percentages shrug-outta-hecks

yeah but my thinking is if you're explaining to people who don't think so good then it's like, okay, you have one of a thing, you make half of that. Then, you make half again more than that, and, see, half of a half is only a quarter, so, you only have three quarters once you add it all together

then i bang some rocks together to establish dominance

idk i'm drunk but also so many people smoke weed they'd probably get it

Yep that's how I'd explain it too, maybe with a cup of water so they can see it doesn't get back to the same level when adding 50% of the remaining 50%

do it with a pizza (because burgers are more difficult to slice)

imagine a pizza, then slice etcetc

Fair, but I'm more likely to have a cup and water on hand than a pizza
