because metric won as the more useful system
general

Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak except now imperial is defined in terms of metric
I’ve always thought this was funny.
I mean, you want the actual hecking based take
c=h=1
speed of light is 1 (unitless), hiesenbergs constant is 1 (unitless)
under this system, length = speed = inverse mass = inverse energy
this is the theoretical physics system
(if we really did design out choices to make sense, the definition of a meter would be based on the speed of light with a round number to begin with)
(same with time)
so both imperial and metric are infact arbitrary and less useful than just redesigning everything, but at this point there is zero reason to redesign everything
Effectively how time and distance is defined already
I like how because of our fucked choices, the rigourous definition of units is just funny
Kribbles, are you back on the best coast yet
or are you still in-transit
Could be worse
could be Ohio
Unless you want to tell me you pronounce EV as "eh-v"
Replying to heir #hyrrulfr wouldn't the American outback be like around the grand canyon?
It's a steakout
Replying to Pyrrhic #swiss_army_cheese I was going to say "whatever's west of the Rockies" but then I looked it up and found out that the Rockies are more west than I thought.
West of the rocky's is vancouver and victoria mostly
sorry you're all wrong
it's Florida
I like how there are 3 in the >40 range, and the other two are mogged by florida by more than two times
The type of resturant is "American"
what do they call American restaurants in Japan, isn't it "Western Style"
or is it all lumped under "family resturants"
no but like, an "American Restaurant" is a resturant type, not related to the food served
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 what do they call American restaurants in Japan, isn't it "Western Style"
WcDonalds?
Western hem
We exported a style of restaurant, that began with diners and became an all-encompassing term for fast-casual
it's not the type of food
you can have an American resturant that serves nothing but Italian food or w/e
I've heard diners referred to as "retro American" recently
