What the hell is wrong wit her legs?

Different interests require different accounts on different services. Not everything is served by lemmy e.g music, video, and blogs. Lemmy can’t do it all --> different accounts.

Thank you for that explanation :)

This doesn’t exist anymore?

I kekked, but don’t understand the fetish of watching women have sex together unless you’re a woman yourself. Do dudes imagine themselves being one of the women getting fingerblasted? Or as the active participant scissoring the other woman? I do not understand. Please enlighten me.

How many inches are there in a foot? How many in a yard? How many in a mile? More importantly: why? The foot is from a duodecimal system (12 points = 1 line, 12 lines = 1 inch, 12 inches = 1 foot), but then then suddenly 3 feet = 1 yard.

Also the imperial system is simple, not logical. Sure, it’s based on body parts and simple things like that, but every moron could’ve seen that hands have different sizes. Now you have about 3 imperial systems (international, British, US) maybe more even more if the old colonies invented more units. Everyone knows the way forward for units it the SI units. It’s logical, it’s straight forward, and it’s used worldwide - except for a minority of regions that are staunchly are against it.

Change it to what? Twenty-one? One Twenty? Four times twenty and one? Four time twenty plus ten and five? You could go the Germanic way, the Anglo-Saxon way, or the French way. Probably there are more ways to express numbers.

It’s not as straight forward as imperial to metric, where metric is logical and imperial isn’t. A vigesimal system is logical, just like binary or hexadecimal.

What’s your suggestion for a change to the Danish counting system? Do you think it is as obvious as going from imperial to metric?

So it takes up to 15 minutes to apply (if successful) and has to be done every time you start your XBox 360. It’s great that there’s no hardware changes involved so even I could make changes, but at every boot?

I specifically am not going to watch US films when I got to the cinema (if I go to the cinema). They shouldn’t be getting our money. Fuck them !boycottus@lemmy.ca and !buyeuropean@feddit.uk

For a real explanation of this watch this illuminating video.

TL;DW According to the perons, it’s based on counting sheep and from base 20. 1 score = 20 sheep. 2 score = 40 sheep.
To get to 50, you have 2.5 score, but they don’t say “two and a half”. They are quite Germanic and say “halfway to 3” (Germans do this too). So, 50 = half three score.

The video also points out that English has (as the hodgepodge of a language it is) yet another remnant of Germanic languages: 13-19 are not “te(e)n-three to te(e)n-nine”, but “three-te(e)n to nine-te(e)n”, just like in German “drei-zehn bis neun-zehn”.

It’s quite easy to mock other languages, but there’s always a reason for why things are the way they are. Think of Chesterton’s fence.

Officially 40, realistically… 20? Bossman makes a dollar, I make a dime, you know how it goes.

Long Covid doesn’t exist! You’re an astroturfer scientist bot from the deepstate made to make us believe COVID really happened. It was all a ploy to reduce our liberties, but thankfully, you lost because the great orange squirrel is now head of the free world and will make it free once again!
