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.

"Americans doing anything to not use the metric system" today: the Fibonacci sequence.

Fun Fact: you can choose not to use miles

But why i should have to if I am not 'murican

Ps thank you.

In airspace, feet and miles are used very often

[–] maynarkh@feddit.nl 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, but those are nautical miles, not murican miles.

[–] kilgore_trout@feddit.it 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, nautical miles still have some logic behind, as they are based on degrees of latitude.

Still it's funny to me that they are still called miles.

[–] feck_it@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I appreciate this practical answer even though I just learned that only pilots uses this particular American measure system Americans call mile.

So basically the world sees us like we see Florida.

You can tell how old this is - a baby's only worth 6 Big Macs anymore.

[–] iegod@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Wrong use of anymore.

"guns and eagle noises"

Which aren't even eagle noises.

[–] PilferJynx@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

If one actually hears one they'll immediately lose a ton of respect for them. They're basically badass looking seagulls

Most of those other countries love McDonald's, too.

Above: how Chinese propaganda sees America

Below: how Americans see America

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.

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!

[–] demlet@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

Ah, so Lemmy has the same low-effort America jokes as Reddit.

It's actually much worse

[–] Osirus@sh.itjust.works -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They hate us cause they ain't us.

[–] SatanicNotMessianic@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes, everyone is quite jealous of the country ranked 40th on the freedom index, classified as a β€œflawed democracy” with β€œsatisfactory” press freedoms.

[–] SatanicNotMessianic@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

lol that has absolutely nothing to do with what you posted nor my response lmao rofl haha etc

[–] Osirus@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago

I'm saying i have all the freedoms I want, no one hassles me over anything, I served my country, now I enjoy all the freedoms that come with it. Life is good, I don't give a fuck about the press. They are trash. We rank 40thnin some made up category? Lol so fucking what. I don't live in a shack, I have more than enough food to last me months, my kids are well educated and happy, my wife and I both have great paying jobs. I'm good. Younthrowing out some arbitrary number that doesn't affect my life or freedoms doesn't mean dick to me.

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!
