Oh I've seen this in the past. It's part of a video (documentary?) on phobias. This guy had lobster phobia and they were trying "shock treatment" to see if it would help. IIRC it didn't.

There's also weird stuff how things like fuel consumption is measured. In the US we use "miles per gallon" which makes sense in a non-metric country. I was born in a metric country where we used "kilometers per liter" which also makes sense. But then cars have this setting for European countries where they show "liters per 100km". WTF? Who in the hell measures things like that and why?
TL;DR it's possible to do stupid things with any measuring system.
Hospitals in the US use mostly metric too.
LOL I still have the original CD for Homeworld.
I prefer to sit on the chair.
He temporarily lost connectivity with the alien overlords.
I hate lawns. They suck water like nothing, require a lot of work and never look quite the way you want.
But let's keep things in perspective here. The big argument against lawns is water use. I agree. But in California, for example, all residential water use accounts for less than 15% of the total use of water in the state.
If we want to save the environment we should start with what's taking the remaining 85%.
Today marks the one year anniversary of our beloved cat's death. He was the sweetest fatso ever. We miss him everyday and his brother still yowls for him every night.
Cats are irreplaceable. You'll miss Gigi forever. Remember her and she'll never die.
