Is "brainless" genuinely considered a bigoted term? Or is this a bit

That picture of him was in my high school textbook. Wonder who decided on that
Haha yeah in case it wasn't clear from my other comments, I don't actually think imperial is a better system. I just don't think it's as bad as everyone says it is. Like you said, you understand the size of these units relative to things irl and can just intuit them.
Converting between units doesn't come up often because like, when are you gonna need to know distances in coins? I mean it's cool that you can easily do that in metric but I couldn't care less that I can't switch between feet and miles.
P.S. do beans weigh as much as cabbages in Brazil? :0
I don't understand, you're saying that the feds are getting paid to shitpost? Big if true
1 cup of water takes 2 minutes of microwaving to make 1 serving of instant hot chocolate which contains however many calories idk I'm not gonna read the label.
Admit it, we have the superior measurements.
1 gallon fills around 20 glasses which is about 10 tummies worth of fluid which if drunken all at once will make you weigh 1 baby heavier and produce 1 toilet worth of vomit.
I don't want to do it the other way around
Do it chump! I'll proceed to not read it because I don't know how much any of those units are 😤😤😤
Oh no now hexbear's gonna defederate from us too! 😭😭
A foot is as long as my forearm and a little longer than a literal foot, unless you've got big feet. An inch is as wide as my thumb which I have used to measure things cuz it's pretty exact. You're right that I don't know how much a gallon is in pounds though. It's like... more than a bag of apples but less than a box of soda
Say what you will about kyivpost, you can't deny they have great cartoons
I'm gonna message the admins about this we shouldn't tolerate authoritarianism on lemmy
Haha no problem, your English is waaay better than my Portuguese! I understood what you meant and that's the point I was trying to make too. I don't need to do any conversions to figure out what a mile, gallon, etc. is because I already know, just like you already know what a kilometer and liter are.
