It’s worse than that. Inches are base 12, ounces and cups are base 16, machinists use thousandths of an inch, and surveyors use tenths of a foot!

One mile is 5280 feet, one foot is 12 inches. One square foot is 144 square inches, one cubic foot is 1728 cubic inches.
1 gallon of water is 8.34 pounds, and 1 cubic foot is 7.48 gallons, so a cubic foot of water weighs 62.38 pounds. If sand is 2.3 times heavier than water, a cubic foot of sand weighs 143.5 pounds.
I am 5 feet 10 inches tall, or 5.83 feet, or 70 inches. I weigh about 220 pounds, or 3520 ounces. If I’m 65% water, I carry about 143 pounds of water, or a little over 16 gallons.

…Is your bathroom a swamp?
Isn’t that HAraM
I blame lazy parents. The message is meant to be “You shouldn’t be picky, you should be thankful that you’re fortunate enough to have access to such quality food. There are people in much worse conditions than you, which much worse food security, who would gladly eat this broccoli/peas/whatever.” But most parents just say “there are starving children in Africa” and leave it at that.
That is the point. You’re basically trying to say “Look how rich I am, I can afford to have all this land dedicated to looking pretty and not being useful for anything else”
Bender: “I’m 40% chocolate!”
“I’ve never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure”

Is that why people go “Ah, ‘37, a very good year”?
Plants don’t have the ability to pull out a gun to defend itself
Yet.
Oh, yeah, you’re right. I didn’t even see “Saturday night” in the article lol. Whenever I see old dates I like looking up what day of the week it was on, just for fun.
January 27, 1936 was a Monday
I actually kinda want an Edsel, if only because they’re quirky and weird.
They’re definitely biased, though. For every “majestic” or “superb” bird there’s one named something like “drab titwaffle”
Unfortunately, no. From what I gather, any other browser on an iPhone is just Safari with a different skin.
I was trying to get help with something while setting up Windows, and getting increasingly frustrated with their stupid automated tech support (because evidently it’s literally impossible to speak to a human unless you’re a developer or something). I ended up cursing at it, and it stopped and went “Let’s keep this professional.” If anything that made me even more pissed off.
Oh man, I would be so on board with that. As long as there’s vacuum tubes.
That sounds like some Dark Souls/Evangelion shit. “Harvest the blood of the fetus after pulling it from its dead mother”
