I'm convinced that American food producers do this specifically to instill confusion in the minds of their customers.

The US: 90 servings per container, serving size: 1 tablespoon (14g) (example in the screenshot)
Europe and probably everywhere else: 100g or 100ml. Every single time, no exceptions.

It isn't even about metric vs. Imperial. Why can't Americans just use 1 oz. as reference? Who wants to calculate all this shit while shopping?

One Tablespoon is a half an ounce and White Americans know this. A stick of butter is 8 Tablespoons, or, 4 ounces, aka a half a cup, or a quarter pound.

You know for a populace that's bad at math you sure love to complicate shit with freedom units

You're likely scooping out the 'butter' with a tablespoon. Seems like the least complicated way to measure it.

Imperial system is just formalized folk knowledge. An inch is a thumb, your foot is a foot, an acre is how much your horse could plow in a day. One pound equals 16 ounces, a number that is easy to divide mentally for cooking and baking (halves, quarters, eighths). The gallon is divided into 4 quarts, 8 pints, and 128 fluid ounces. Again, easily divided.

The only thing the godless, heckin' science loving metric system gets right is Celsius pegging zero at freezing and 100 at boiling. Being a fucking leaf, I am cursed to use both metric and imperial and to know all conversions between the two by heart. Overwhelmingly we use imperial in daily life - again because it's intuitive and easy to portion. In carpentry it's fantastic since so much is based on body proportions. We only use metric for engineering and the CNC machines, where decimals trump fractions.

farenheit is better for weather. 100 is hot as fuck and 0 is cold as fuck.

They do. Serving size is not standardized and if you compare two of the same kind of product from different brands, you will often see different serving sizes. Additionally, there's no requirement that single serving packages list their total nutrition, so you will often see small dessert packages advertise 200kcal with "per serving" in small letters and then the little package is 2.5 servings. I have stood in aisles comparing shit like spaghetti because one brand is 83g per serving and the other is 90g and they've got slightly different protein and calories and I'm trying to figure out which is better.

Euros do consumer protection better and it's not even close.

@Null Is it true that these Vtubers don’t stream their Meet & Greets anymore because of Gaytor? (Link)

If that’s so it’s a shame that people can’t see these fans on stream and ridicule them

Yes, they all have a Gator encounter and learn why the other girls don't stream it and stop.

 

[Jotch]

I don't use Imperial because it's scentifically better, or because it's easier to use.
I use Imperial because it is the system of units my daddy gave me, and it works just fine.

Yeah, I'd be pissed if I had to pull out a calculator just to see if something I want to buy doesn't have too much sugar. I wonder if there's some kind of Android software with OCR capable of translating American nutrition fact tables and converting them to something intelligible.

There's another problem where I live, though. Meat producers apparently aren't obligated to tell you how much meat is in food products containing GROUND meat (sausages etc.). So instead of "meat: 98g per 100g", they'll put "100g of this product was made with 130g of meat" on the packaging. It's up to you to figure out what that means.

Former high school student charged for putting Hitler quote in yearbook

A former Connecticut high school student is accused of changing entries in his school’s yearbook to include a quote from Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler, police said.

nypost.com

A former Connecticut high school student is accused of changing entries in his school’s yearbook to include a quote from Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler, police said.

“It is a quite special secret pleasure how the people around us fail to realize what is really happening to them,” read one entry allegedly submitted by Hollister Tryon, incorrectly attributing Hitler’s quote to George Floyd — a black man who was murdered by a white Minneapolis cop in May 2020.

Tryon, who was barred from attending graduation at Glastonbury High School for allegedly altering the school’s 2021 yearbook, was charged Friday with two counts of third-degree computer crimes for accessing a database used by students to alter two classmates’ entries, the Hartford Courant reported.

In November 2021, Hollister Tryon was sentenced to the maximum two years of probation after being granted entry into Connecticut’s accelerated rehabilitation program. Because his actions involved a Hitler quote, Judge Sheila M. Prats required him to enroll in a specialized hate-crimes diversion program, which includes targeted education and mandatory community service

So I got some videos that popped up from Kidd Bandit's tranny wrestling event. The most notable one of these was where you had PhilosophyTube hit one of the wrestlers with a chair with some real grade-a quality acting.

@Rudolf's Friend I though Joey said he was going to put the whole show online? They were clearly filming it.

Guess we'll see if he uploads it, but I did stumble onto this vlog someone made of it, so I saved the most interesting clips.

So it is over one hundred percent meat?

sounds like a win to me
