I was born in the US and have switched by myself. My brother thought I was weird until one day we went to the hardware store.
I needed to buy a 15/64 in drill bit, but they didn’t have it. So then we thought, fine, maybe we can use the next closest size…
…
Except WTF is the next size up or down from 15/64??!!! Neither of us could figure it out. Internet wasn’t great. Sales people didn’t know. We left because we weren’t sure what to buy.
In metric, it’s trivial. 5mm drill bit, 4mm is smaller, 6mm is bigger.
After this, he stopped thinking I was a weirdo for using metric measurements. But he still uses imperial because murica.
Also, interesting, I learned that he thinks imperial units were invented by the US. I told him they were British units and I stopped caring about British units in 1776, but he didn’t seem to believe me.
It was reality when this aired. Skeevy business man prioritizing personal gain over societal well-being has been a part of the American fabric for decades. This specific archetype dates back at least to the 80s.
Whenever this comes up I assume people have actually never done cosplay or haven't spent much time around cosplayers.
Cosplayers spend 50% of conventions fixing their outfit. It never lasts the day. You can't be tinkering with outfits on an 8-12hr shoot day every single time the person takes too big of a step or walks up a flight of stairs.
The woman on the right in this image is standing completely still in a "normal" pose for a still photo. Go have her do 6 days on a film set and let's see how that outfit turns out.
That's fair, the hand is a dead giveaway now that I look. But anyway my point largely stands I like to think lol guess I need to check hands more often sadly
This is the first indication something is off, though. It’s pretty obviously unnatural on first glance. When you look further and there’s no photoshop evidence, it’s a dead giveaway. I’m just saying it’s a really good first indication that this is not a real woman’s shape. It was the first indication to me that this image is fake in some form.
