Fun fact: you can convert from miles to kilometers using the Fibonacci sequence:
1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 35
- 5 miles = 8 kilometers
- 21 miles = 35 kilometers
- 10 miles (2 + 8) = 16 kilometers (3 + 13)
So this means 1 mile = 1 kilometer.
-
Fun Fact: you can choose not to use miles
-
Well I'm trying to get the the kilofoot to catch on
-
And after choosing not to use them, you might need to convert them to something else sometimes. You gonna tell me Europeans never travel to America as tourists? This is a fascinating and easy to remember method for them or anyone else.
You came to the right thread for shitting on Americans, obviously, but you chose the wrong place for this condescending comment.
-
But I love Miles Morales
-
-
Someone call someone, I think I had a stroke.
-
Fibonacci sequence just adds the two prior numbers to get the next number. Even your brain can recreate it anytime anywhere very easily.
-
It works because the ration between miles and kilometers (1.609) is surprisingly close to the Golden Ratio (1.618), and https://letstalkscience.ca/educational-resources/backgrounders/fibonacci-and-golden-ratio

"Americans doing anything to not use the metric system" today: the Fibonacci sequence.
-
But why i should have to if I am not 'murican
Ps thank you.
-
And where do i know which part of the fib sequence to use?
-
The headline implies that the trade deal went through.
-
What do you think big macs are made of?
-
The FBI set up a sting while looking for people who want to trade babies for Big Macs. It's a bigger problem than you think.
-
"Babies for Big Macs" sounds like some weird non-profit charity.
-
-
they will train that baby to become a ideal worker
-
-
The big Mac's are nice!
-
-
Especially because it wasn't even his baby. Free big macs!
-
-
-
So basically the world sees us like we see Florida.
-
Yeah from my experience the US is the Florida of the world.
We all know you guys aren't all crazy, but there is enough of them to be part of the final picture in our mind.
-
Thatβs probably fair
-
-
America: I bet the rest of the world is so thinking about me right now.
The rest of the world: My brother in earth, I have my own shit going on.
-
Yet, the picture is about the United States. lol
-
Yes, America, you're still relevant.
-
-
We don't think this... Other countries just think we think this. I'm not kidding, that's actually the case lol.
It's shocking for us in the states to learn about other countries knowing which states are which. We don't even know that!
-
This is weird. I constantly see posts about how America is bad from Europeans. I don't think I've ever seen one the other way around. Who is thinking about who all the time?
-
Mostly Europeans amuse themselves about how Americans think they're living in a first world country while having absolute basic developed-world-shit just flat out fail. I.e. health care, consumer regulation, public transit, education, clean water. Sure the US is not uniform but it's a single country. Even Europe has it's own problems but most countries have this stuff figured out more or less.
The reason Europeans mock Americans is because Americans always ALWAYS complain about how they're getting fucked. And Europeans are just like "lol that shit ain't an issue here". Which a) contributes to Europeans thinking the US is a shithole and b) making Americans seem kinda whiny.

-
I read this in weskers voice and i laughed hard, lol.
-
I mean to some countries, we are that shit going on.
-
-
This and school shootings
-
Would they adopt metric if it was killermeters?
-
*Killingminors
-
Their army is already using kilometres, so uh close enough I guess.
-
We did adopt metric! For our military. Because there's a certain efficiency in killing when it's done in metric.
-
-
-
As an American, definitely see America as the bottom picture.
-
America is a really big and diverse place. Really it's both and neither depending on where you are
-
No you're on the internet, America is like the meme only no nuance
-
Whenever someone points out absolutely anything negative about America.
"murica big, we not all like that!" π€‘
-
-
You can tell how old this is - a baby's only worth 6 Big Macs anymore.
-
Wrong use of anymore.
-
Babies are still only worth 6 Big Mac's. This was just greedflation.
-
-
what the fuck is a kilometer
A meter used to measure how many TERRORISTS we killed today B-)
-
Kilometer? I hardly know her
-
16 pounds of baby
16 pounds of big mac
-
-
-
In merica we got Kill-o-meters, and they go up to big numbers.
-
Spoken like a true non American
-
Jokes on all of you, I know what a kilometer is because it's the maximum distance I would walk to trade a baby for 15 Big Macs.
-
I don't believe you. Obviously not the baby part, but the walking part.
-
Damn, I was that obvious?
-
-
-
Yeah he's an idiot but why is there only 1 mugshot, who's the dude that bought the baby?
-
If a man ofered me a baby for 15 big macs, i would accept the deal, take the baby and go to the police.
-
So you lose the baby AND 15 Big Macs!? Terrible negotiation skills. You got played.
-

-
Citizens of the USA should strive to be the America that Capcom Japan thinks you are
-
American presidents are DLC confirmed. Why cant we get a base game leader
-
-
The lower picture is missing a conferderate flag next to the fat idiot, that would definitely be there in my head!
-
A kilometer is 4,971 furlongs, or 10,96 football fields.
-
Football fields are a stupid measurement in more than one way, because you can not just measure the width or the length, but football fields can be of varying sizes too.
-
It was a joke about we how Americans will use any measurement except the metric system. I'm sorry.
Also this never fails to make me smile.
"In metric, one milliliter of water occupies one cubic centimeter, weighs one gram, and requires one calorie of energy to heat up by one degree centigradeβwhich is 1 percent of the difference between its freezing point and its boiling point. An amount of hydrogen weighing the same amount has exactly one mole of atoms in it. Whereas in the American system, the answer to βHow much energy does it take to boil a room-temperature gallon of water?β is βGo fuck yourself,β because you canβt directly relate any of those quantities" -- Josh Bazell

-
We donβt know what those numbers mean with your communist commas. A decimal point (period) is the only real way to delimit unit from fractional units
-
-
It's actually much worse
-
Can confirm. McDonald's now no longer offers the Baby for a Big Mac deal. Thanks, assholes.
-
Yeah, post COVID-19 they only offer 3 big macs per baby. It's really messing around with disposable bartering chips.
-
-
-
1 mile = 5\3 km
-
I felt like a stupid lazy American, but I admit I was relieved last week when our vacation in Canada, which was otherwise wonderful, ended so I could figure out speed and distance again in the units of measurements I know.
Although it didn't help that Toyota decided to not include a 'show speed in metric units' option in my Prius for some bizarre reason. They did in other models, just not the model I have.
-
Most of those other countries love McDonald's, too.
-
America has its fucking issues in spades, but let's not paint the rest of the world as a rose garden
-
There are weirdos and assholes all over the world, indeed.
Theres just a lot of media coverage of the american ones.
-
The βWeβre number 40β chant just doesnβt have quite the same rallying feel as βweβre number 1β though.

"guns and eagle noises"
Which aren't even eagle noises.
-
If one actually hears one they'll immediately lose a ton of respect for them. They're basically badass looking seagulls
-
-
Ah, so Lemmy has the same low-effort America jokes as Reddit.
-
Lol, I actually blame Uncle Sam for taxes.

shitheel boomer
Lol. My bad for using something besides the random, meaningless lol or lmao that literally everyone else uses. Are we actually arguing about this? What a dumb fucking point to make. I used language to convey a message that dictates that I am not laughing for comedic effect, I am laughing to breeze off the fact that what you said is blatantly full of shit, something that lol probably wouldn't be appropriate for. You wouldn't know that though, it is clear you don't get much human interaction at all considering the fact you though welfare queens were not a real thing.
Good on you to assume the races of someone gaming the welfare system! I already know which of the nearly identical parties you worship are! FYI, One is black, two are white. I live in a city, a blue one, one that has been blue for about, idk, 70 years? What happened to "welfare queens don't exist"? You sure seem to not know jack shit about how the world works considering just how confidently incorrect you were!
Also, I don't appreciate you assuming I'd do something so grossly absentminded as supporting any bipartisan effort you dumb fucking disgusting fascist piece of shit.
Supporting democratic or republican efforts is supporting the death of the US in the name of money, moneymoneymoneymoneymoney, but thanks for bringing politics into dankmemes! You clearly have nothing better to back your claim, so you fell back on politics, just like everyone else with no life!

I'd say most people I know wouldn't immigrate to US over any country in Europe. No way I would want to be underplayed and live in racism hell.
-
-
Everyone from South America is trying to emigrate to USA but everyone from Africa is trying to emigrate to Europe. I wander why could that be?
-
-
-
They hate us cause they ain't us.
-
Seriously, jealous of our freedoms much?
-
Yes, everyone is quite jealous of the country ranked 40th on the freedom index, classified as a βflawed democracyβ with βsatisfactoryβ press freedoms.
