"Why is my human slave not moving my stuff to different rooms according to my set schedule? Why do I, a god, have to do it myself? Bastet, take note of this great insubordination! "
“I have been up all night watching these babies and I am exhausted! Not one of them was hungry! I need some me time with my face in the catnip plant. Someone watch them while I’m passed out… and no more catnip for the babies! They all still smell like catnip from the last time you looked after them.”
Years ago I consulted for a French company and analyzed their processes. Heavily depended on Excel. They all pronounced Excel Sheet as “Excel Shit”. All day long it was sentences like"…and then I make an Excel Shit here", “… then I give the Shit to my colleague”. It was glorious… (and technically they were right).
This just made me think, why haven’t those damn commie Europeans with their fancy metric system come up with a better system for measuring time yet?
People like to talk a lot of shit about how subjective the definitions for an inch or a mile are, but I never hear complaints about how a second or an hour are antiquated and based on things that only make sense from an Earth-centric point of view.
I just feel like someone be mad at Americans for still using hours (ugh, trivially decided on the amount of time it takes the Earth to rotate) and not something like the amount of time it takes for 1 kilogram of water to decay via natural radiation when under a vacuum.
By the way, before downvoting, this post is heavy with /s in case it wasn’t obvious.
Edit: I just looked up the formal definition of a second and it is “the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium-133 atom”.
It’s all so arbitrary is funny. People get so passionate, but then I’ll bring up,“Why aren’t we using Swatch Time?” Or, why don’t we have 13 months of exactly 28 days (With a bonus vacation day or two)?
They’ll usually fall back on what people are used to or tradition or something that just supports staying on imperial measurements. To be clear, I don’t give a shit what measurement system is used. It’s not like it takes a big brain to figure out what is going on when you travel.
My 19 year old cat does this “scream” when we give her people-food. She carries it up to the sofa she lives on and screams. Apparently it’s because she’s “proud of her kill” and wants to show it off, but i think she’s saying “Thanks human, we share”
I thought “chat” with a hard “t” in French meant “piss”, cat is pronounced “cha”. I was told this by a French speaker when I was talking about a “chat noir” poster, using a hard “t” and they said “you’re sayong black piss! The “t” is silent for cat”.
Can anyone confirm? I feel this is important for this post, “chat gpt” could mean “piss, I farted”
French here. I don’t know where did he invent the meaning of ‘piss’ for chat with a hard t. That looks like a joke. For the rest if true. Chat for cat is pronounced without the t
In addition to Jones and Virgil as others have said we have Maine Root, Sprechers, Dublin and others. Most grocery stores in the US at least will have a small section of various root beers and other craft sodas. Stores like whole foods or other fancy type places will usually have more of a selection. World market has a ton as well I believe.
Craft beer is like someone took the worst part of beer and made it the only part. I’m not saying Budweiser is good but it’s better than any craft shit I’ve ever had
Coming from Belgium, it’s an entirely different experience here.
We’ve theorised that in the US, they’re just businesses that buy an installation with recipes included and have very little knowledge of how brewing actually works.
Craft beer is an extremely wide range of types. What do you consider the worst part of beer? Bitterness? Sweetness? Thickness? There are tons of different flavors along the thousands upon thousands of beers in the world.
Bud Lite is brewed to be as flavorless as possible. It’s not bad but I don’t think anyone would argue that it is great either. It is meant to be as acceptable as possible by the largest amount of people.
Beer, overall, may not be your thing. That’s fine. But tons of beers have a lot to offer from a flavor complexity standpoint.
