We don’t exclusively use metric in the UK. We use a hybrid of the two. Most of the comments that “get on Americans’ case” about it are likely coming from continental Europeans and other countries which do use metric exclusively.
I didn’t say the US did… I’m explaining it in a way Americans would understand, because they use feet but unusually don’t use its weight equivalent, and ask in comment sections wtf a stone is (bit of a funny role reversal considering it’s usually US units people are asking wtf they mean)
It’s pretty much just the UK and Ireland that use it, and even then, it’s only used for weighing people, boxing, and horse racing.
A lot of people just say their weight in kg, stone is used less and less as older people die out.
At this point some of the posts here could’ve been a randomly chosen image combined with a random AF string of ai text. Makes adult swim shows from 2007 seem extremely level headed and comprehensible by comparison.
Post idea. Title: “But he was a good boy?” Image: highly overly compressed jpeg reposted from 4chan, name mostly blacked out but “cock2ranker” still visible. The post contains a line of text reading “43 segments and counting, I wanted to blitz my mind and I was thinking about it but I didn’t get it until I got it and I didn’t get it back” Image below: a turtle flipped on its back with a shark photoshopped to its left, with a beeper strapped to its fin. Underneath the turtle, some random anime character that 7 people have ever heard of, looking “cute”. The post has 94 upvotes and 20 comments, all of which every single person 100% understands the context of every element of the title, text, and image and are making references to obscure aspects of it. They’re often responded to with quotes that seem to be a reference to things that no human would understand. One person asked why the turtle is green, no replies. #shitpostLyfeBrah
I’ve never understood this picture. Is the joke that there is no optical illusion? I have never seen anything else than all of the plates being right side up.
That’s because all you absolute fucking babies are still crying they took your plastic straw away.
The reason we don’t have sensible climate conversations leading to real action is because the SLIGHTEST thing anyone suggests and you fucking scream your toddler heads off for years!
I still have a scar from my childhood when my pet turtle bit the webbing between my right thumb and index finger. The turtle had a blade of grass stuck in the area next to its neck that’s kinda like a dimple and it couldn’t get it out, so I stupidly put my finger there to try to get it out. Their beaks are like nail clippers.
