Covid was also a top fatality result of police for a while there. Just showcasing their amazing decision making skills as they refuse to get vaccinated.

Clearly they represent the best of the best there.

They took him away to reboot the disney animatronics he’s been running on since the early 90’s.

So the US has no influence on the internet or social media? In denial much?

Realize here my argument is that the US is some exceptional example of a country, the literal definition of exceptionalism, but there is enough influence for the general internet population to understand what a foot is. Just like how I know what a stone is without the UK being some exceptional utopia. If someone says they weight 12 stone I convert in my head and go about my day.

But hey. this all started when someone said 15m2 was larger than a parking spot. I said no and showed my work. The units I used were irrelevant. This whole tangent is your own pedantry.

EDIT: For those curious, Mr_Blott deleted his reply that called my comment on the US having an influence on the internet US exceptionalism, and that should have been lost in the migration.

It’s the default reponse to a shitpost like the above mainly. 80,000 plants don’t make a good hamburger unless the cow does the work processing it into beef first.

The foot isn’t an SI unit, but the US influence on the internet and social media as a whole means it isn’t some obscure unheard of unit. Besides, the foot has been defined by SI units for a while now, and the survey foot being done away with makes it publically official. It’s just a conversion factor.

Then again being that pedantic is totally a reddit thing, so it’s good to see that hasn’t been lost in the migration.

Really? You’re afraid of a little math to convert when you speak a language that decided 96 (Ninety Six) should be said four-twenty-ten-six?

15m^2 is 5mX3m. Or ~9ft by ~15ft. Parking spots in the US are 8.5ft by 18ft.

So actually smaller than a parking spot.

For reference, a honda civic is 6ft wide by 16ft.

Find me a plant that tastes like a nice hamburger and I’m sold.
