People also let cat boxes and dog yards get absolutely vile too, its more about being a responsible person than the animal itself then why do they live in sewers?

I would be interested to know how a “fifth of a gallon” ever became popular as a meaningful measure anyway, and I say this as a sometime imperial-units apologist. Liquid measure is quite useful in powers of two because you can divide it up easily, just pour it out till the levels are equal. How the gently caress do you get fifths

Having lived extensively with both, if you’re not in a lab or engineering or somewhere where you’re regularly doing unit conversions, then metric vs standard/imperial makes absofuckinglutely no difference to your daily life. Being smug about it is dumb as poo poo either way. Metric is better because it’s the global standard, not because hapless americans are constantly bamboozled by the fact that an australian pint is a different size or that 12 is an arbitrary number of inches.

What's fun in engineering is that sometimes people will measure things in both systems. Like something that's 2inches by 3 centimeters or a drug dosage that's mg per oz

Look, every society has some bullshit that started before everyone currently alive was born and keeps going out of inertia. America has the imperial measurement system, Britain has driving on the wrong side of the road and a royal family and a culture of crippling alcoholism. There's no point being smug or proud about it as if it's something you accomplished just by being born there or it's a game of Civilization and you're tallying up everyone's culture score to see who wins.

I always assumed a fifth was some creative size creep, like instead of selling someone a quarter of something Like the 1/3 pound burger being rejected as smaller than the 1/4 effect but in reverse Basically just bog standard  This is totally just an assumption I made because I am a jaded weirdo

"One does not simply walk into Mordor" A spray of hellfire missiles loosed from the Boeing AH-64 Apache Longbow loitering over Hobbitsville. In an instant, the gunner trained his HUD reticle right onto the eye of Sauron, causing the missles to bank rapidly and home in on their target.

Data Graham posted:God drat lol, I thought that was going to end up being too dumb to be true That wine bottle divot is called a 'punt' and it evenly distributes pressure from altitude change, carbonation, or continued fermentation along a hemispherical surface so bottles don't explode along a weak 90-degree seam at the bottom during transport to different altitudes or after extended time in a cellar. They used to be very necessary before more precise winemaking methods nailed down the use of sulfates to stop fermentation accurately, but now they're just kinda traditional and make for a stronger bottle overall.
