This is an argument that gets rolled out a lot but the argument is also based on vibes.

Celcius having zero at freeing is actually useful with weather.

100 being boiling, is also nice for cooking.

The rest is arbitrary, and cope from US customary users who can’t accept that metric is the same or better in every single way.

Found the Americans.

I kid, but it’s °C, not C°

And K had no degrees at all.

The other two units are not mentioned in this household.

K is obviously pointing at R because Rankine is an abomination in the same vein as pound-mole and thousands of an inch.

Motherfuckers, metric is right there, get your disgusting units out of here.

Anyone who uses either of these units in the last 40 or 50 years, I would like to physically fight with you. I have never thrown hands.

Pro-tip: Sodium Hydroxide would be even higher pH at equal concentrations.

My biggest pet pieve about the sentiment that it’s a waste of time to learn things you won’t use, is that many things people complain about they ought to be able to use, or at least it helps them form an understanding that helps them learn other things in the future.

The mfs who are practically innumerate bother me, because it’s so easy to lie to them.

If you don’t know how to multiply, then I want you to go learn it.

I knew someone I worked with in a cafe, that couldn’t do the multiplication necessary to sell some remaining beans less than the 250g bags we usually sold, at a pro-rata price.

i.e. if the beans were $15 for a 250g bag, she couldn’t calculate the pro-rata price for 178g.

It hurt my soul.

The jacket could be so long it’s a coat where you can’t see them either.

My mind immediately went to Stargate

May I interest you in this fine example?

Haha so informed. Hahahaa@aaa@aaaaaaaaaaaa ❤️

Haven’t watched S2 because I’m beyond done with Disney

Watching it for free is very moral. It’s a great show. Suprisingly the best star wars media to date (in my opinion)

Unless it’s soft drink, right?

Side note on American metrification:

I do enjoy that the online calorie/macro counting scene in the US seems to be using grams now.

Wait until they realise they can do g protein/100g instead of per serve or cup, or hogshead.

One day you bastards, one day…

Indeed. Conservation of energy means he definitely felt it, just spread out over his entire torso, bouncing off harmlessly.

Amen friend, amen.

Though that doesn’t seem to be happening much anywhere these days :/

Technically they could fine you up to 1 Penalty Unit ($330 at time of writing).

But they just give you a $20 “administrative penalty” so they don’t have to litigate.

Turnout is very high every election, and we don’t need to waste political messaging airspace on “get out the vote”, so this part of our political system seems to be working well (capitalism and neoliberalism being a bane to our existence notwithstanding).

Side note, “get out the vote” is a weird sentence.

allowed red states to have worse and worse elections to cease control at a national level

If only they’d cease 🥲

Americans, I highly encourage you to do everything you can to seize the means of federal elections, and put it in the hands of an independent federal electoral commission, instead of the nonsense state administration you currently have.

Maybe one day you’ll have a voting system as good as ours (one point we are very proud of).

Don’t watch the movie friend. Or watch it, and rewatch the series and don’t watch it a second time.

The pronunciation is awful to the point of gibberish, but the subtitles are vaguely correct from the parts that are somewhat understandable.

What language is this from? Is it a variant of Mandarin or another Chinese language?

My reasons for confusion 头水：my Pinyin keyboard doesn’t even want to write this. Is this supposed to be 口水？

小豆脑：is this some metaphor?

‘My saliva is gone. I want that those electrolytes give me tofu brain [very soft tofu for other people reading], very constipated’

I’m a very confused Chinese learner.

Edit before responding: I think I understand the metaphor now lol
