beige.party is one of the many independent Mastodon servers you can use to participate in the fediverse.
A home to friendly weirdos. The Grey Gardens of the Fediverse (but beige). Occasionally graphically cacographic. Definitely probably not a cult (though you'll never be 100% sure). Beige-bless 🙏

The USians are distracted.

Quick! Sneak in the metric system so we can stop this ridiculousness.

@gettingcomputey

Nah, it will take a coup d'état by NASA or some engineering society. And they don't look interesed.

@gettingcomputey
1km=1000m ; 1m=100cm
1ton=1000kg ; 1kg=1000g
1liter=1000cm^2
1liter of water = 1 kg of water
Water freezes at 0 c, boils at 100 c

Today is 30.10.2024

@DrorBedrack @gettingcomputey Correction, today is 2024-10-30 (as defined by ISO 8601).

@gettingcomputey wait for the signal! Then all the prisoners will be released!

I know, baby, you'd dig it the most.. But you know what the funniest thing about Europe is?

[JULES]
What?

[VINCENT]
It's the little differences. I mean, they got the same shit over there they got here, but, it's just, just, there it's a little different.

[JULES]
Example?

[VNCENT]
Alright, you can walk into a movie theatre in Amsterdam and buy a beer. And I don't mean just like in no paper cup. I'm talking about a glass of beer. And in Paris, you can buy a beer at McDonald's. And you know what they call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris?

[JULES]
They don't call it a Quarter Pounder with Cheese?

[VINCENT]
No, they got the metric system there, they wouldn't know what the fuck a Quarter Pounder is.

[JULES]
Then what do they call it?

[VINCENT]
They call it Royale with Cheese.

[JULES]
Royale with Cheese. What do they call a Big Mac?

[VINCENT]
Big Mac's a Big Mac, but they call it Le Big Mac.
[JULES]
Le big Mac! Ahhaha, what do they call a Whopper?

[VINCENT]
I dunno, I didn't go into a Burger King. But you know what they put on french fries in Holland instead of ketchup?

[JULES]
What?

[VINCENT]
Mayonnaise.

[JULES]
Goddamn!

[VINCENT]
I seen 'em do it man, they fuckin' drown 'em in it.

[JULES]
Uuccch!
