who was the first person who ever said “hey, that cat shit out coffee beans–i think i’ll roast’em up and make coffee with it”

this is loss

weird that AI figured out flip the bird hand, but can’t get just a normal hand right

you know you’re getting old when you catch yourself saying “what the chicken fried fuck are these kids doing”

the drab hipster shit of the 00s is at least not as bad as the neon triangles and curly Qs of the 90s

LOL remember when /r/the_donald was a thing? you could almost feel the foot-stomping and desk-pounding reverberating through the screen

LOL i’m not going to sit here and engage in a “amazon vs samsclub vs temu” debate.

you do you. i’m glad for you saving tons of money

lol ate the onion again

in my defense, i still believe j.d. vance fucks couches

never expected oprah to say something i’d expect a self-proclaimed “alpha male” who’s actually an incel to say. what a time to be alive…

i haven’t been arguing at all lol just observing that you’re demonstrating my point

Every word of it is about why Americans don’t think the switch is worth it.

and your premise is flawed. lots of americans think the switch is worth it, and have thought that for over 100 years. so far i’ve ignored your “my opinion = america’s opinion” fallacy, but this has to end at some point. so, think what you want. i concede nothing.

i made a point:

more like we’d rather stay with the stupidness and inconvenience we know rather than change anything, no matter how much better it would be

and you’re agreeing with it. repeatedly. though i don’t know what you think the “debate” here is. are you trying to get me to agree with “no, we shouldn’t change to metric”? because that’s not going to happen. but you can keep trying if that makes you feel better

thank you, again, for illustrating my point. again. care to say the same thing a third time? for the people who just aren’t getting it?

for one thing, there will always be “bigger problems to solve,” just like with getting rid of DST, which also needs to fucking die a horrible death already

for another thing, thank you for providing a perfect example of my last sentence

LOL i’m sure the multiple units of measurement for ammo is worldwide-- thanks USA! but yea, drugs are always metric

didn’t know what it was, didn’t bring the old one with them, and the only information they had was

LOL the library equivalent is “i’m looking for a book but don’t remember the title or author, but it was about a woman who fell in love, and it had a red cover!” which describes a not-insignificant percentage of all books in existence

Americans really dislike learning and being inconvenienced.

it’s worse than that-- we have gallons of milk, but liters of soda. we drive in mph, but run in 5K. science and medicine weights are grams, but recipes call for ounces. want to fix an american car–hope you have both metric and “standard” wrenches

more like we’d rather stay with the stupidness and inconvenience we know rather than change anything, no matter how much better it would be

i was in there for a minute. my one post was “what is this” and then i was replaced a week later. not my thing i guess

gold exclusive subreddit

i’ve been in there, and yea…how many posts about “yay we have gold and we have a subreddit only for us because we’re special” does it take before you start to think “this is about the most pointless thing ever…”
