The headline implies that the trade deal went through.

they will train that baby to become a ideal worker

The big Mac's are nice!

Fun fact: you can convert from miles to kilometers using the Fibonacci sequence:

1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 35

5 miles = 8 kilometers 21 miles = 35 kilometers 10 miles (2 + 8) = 16 kilometers (3 + 13)

So this means 1 mile = 1 kilometer.

"Americans doing anything to not use the metric system" today: the Fibonacci sequence.

But why i should have to if I am not 'murican

Ps thank you.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

In airspace, feet and miles are used very often

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Pilots, maybe, they're "special" like that. Engineers do not.

Jk

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, but those are nautical miles, not murican miles.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, nautical miles still have some logic behind, as they are based on degrees of latitude.

Still it's funny to me that they are still called miles.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I appreciate this practical answer even though I just learned that only pilots uses this particular American measure system Americans call mile.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Fun Fact: you can choose not to use miles

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

So basically the world sees us like we see Florida.

[–] RogueBanana 7 points 1 year ago

Yeah he's an idiot but why is there only 1 mugshot, who's the dude that bought the baby?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

America is a really big and diverse place. Really it's both and neither depending on where you are

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Spoken like a true non American

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

America: I bet the rest of the world is so thinking about me right now.

The rest of the world: My brother in earth, I have my own shit going on.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

We don't think this... Other countries just think we think this. I'm not kidding, that's actually the case lol.

It's shocking for us in the states to learn about other countries knowing which states are which. We don't even know that!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I read this in weskers voice and it actually sounded funny like that, lol.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I mean to some countries, we are that shit going on.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

In merica we got Kill-o-meters, and they go up to big numbers.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can tell how old this is - a baby's only worth 6 Big Macs anymore.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Wrong use of anymore.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

what the fuck is a kilometer

A meter used to measure how many TERRORISTS we killed today B-)

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Kilometer? I hardly know her

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

16 pounds of baby

16 pounds of big mac

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Most of those other countries love McDonald's, too.

"guns and eagle noises"

Which aren't even eagle noises.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

If one actually hears one they'll immediately lose a ton of respect for them. They're basically badass looking seagulls

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Ah, so Lemmy has the same low-effort America jokes as Reddit.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A kilometer is 4,971 furlongs, or 10,96 football fields.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Football fields are a stupid measurement in more than one way, because you can not just measure the width or the length, but football fields can be of varying sizes too.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

European or North American?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

what the fuck is a kilometer

A deadly weapon

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Can confirm. McDonald's now no longer offers the Baby for a Big Mac deal. Thanks, assholes.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

They hate us cause they ain't us.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Seriously, jealous of our freedoms much?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, everyone is quite jealous of the country ranked 40th on the freedom index, classified as a β€œflawed democracy” with β€œsatisfactory” press freedoms.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

lol that has absolutely nothing to do with what you posted nor my response lmao rofl haha etc

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

I'm saying i have all the freedoms I want, no one hassles me over anything, I served my country, now I enjoy all the freedoms that come with it. Life is good, I don't give a fuck about the press. They are trash. We rank 40thnin some made up category? Lol so fucking what. I don't live in a shack, I have more than enough food to last me months, my kids are well educated and happy, my wife and I both have great paying jobs. I'm good. Younthrowing out some arbitrary number that doesn't affect my life or freedoms doesn't mean dick to me.
