To add to this, it’s widely used in Brazil who copied it from surf culture.

China also uses it as part of their one hand counting system. To them it’s the number 6 (pronounced ‘leo’). The use of it in western culture has allowed them to adopt it as a way of saying something is cool. They will say 666 (pronounced “leo leo leo”) while making the hand gesture to say something is cool. This fact was very fun to explain to my ultra conservative family back in the states.

I might be the only person who thinks this is hype.

Dude. I’m ADHD and I’m the exact same way. I hate it cause it’s all I can think about.

Metric is very scientific, but it was made through arbitrary means. They chose to make it easier than imperial by using divisions of 10. But it’s all based on a single measurement that they made up through arbitrary means.

“We have this length called a meter. How do we define it? Let’s use it to measue something in nature and then use that measurement to define it.”

You’re doing good work, man. I miss a kot of subreddits but I’ll never go back purely on principle… and spite.

I’m tired of people trying to say that Biden screwed over rail workers. It’s just an easy go to point to make against him that’s so easily disprovable.

I’m literally in the same boat with a 4 month old. I should get her to try this with me.

Get a ceramic pan. Barely any clean up.

I taught in China for 9 years and i can tell you that asians all look different. I was good enough at the end to be able to tell who was Chinese, Korean, and Japanese based on bone structure alone. The hardest part is that when 400+ students all have the same haircuts and clothing style, then they really tend to blur together.
