Aren't Americans the ones that divide the day into 2 sets of 12 hours?
Yes if you tell them it's 12.25 they don't know if the sun is up
AMIGA
what is that?
4 bits for hours and 1 bit for am or pm
vs 5 bits for hours, it doesnt even save memory. In fact it requires MORE memory, since you also need the graphics for the letters a, p and m, and MORE space to print the letters on.
Utterly retarded americans
>bits
The industrial revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
Mayo and what else?
Mate that's chips and gravy. Mayo is nowhere to be seen.
Perhaps you're mistaking the bowl for mayonnaise, as it is white, however you can easily tell the two apart, as mayonnaise will not hold a bowl shape when sculpted.
What's the white stuff
Butter?
That's cheese
>liquid cheese
Fucking burgers m8
Good shit.
>That's cheese
Not in Europe it's not
Cheese is a real thing here
Poutine
and what is this?
>durr what are cheese curds
>what's cheddar cheese
>OMG NOT REAL CHEESE LOL YUROP STRONK
Not cheese
Stay mad
DD/MM/YY
YYYY/MM/DD
The only sane date format.
Agreed. MM/DD is disgusting, DD/MM doesn't sort properly, only ISO 8601 is acceptable.
this
during my visit in UK / USo'm i purposely kept using a 24h clock and those idiots had to actually contemplate on my words to understand what hour i had in mind. better, we had an electronic 24h clock and they all could read it perfectly but they suddenly became retarded when you were to spell it for them
>the big hand and small hand use different scales
>yuros will defend this
milliard
billiard
trilliard
...
What do you mean, its 2:50
It's actually 1:50 cause it's not all the way to two retard
Americans don't eat poutine. It's French Canadian.
Canadians actually respect natural food though.
No, it's actually YYYY-MM-DD and variants
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GB GigaBYTE
Gb Gigabit
MB MegaBYTE
Mb Megabit
It's actually goes back to solar calendars
The best format is DD/MM/YY, who cares for the year were in, the most important info is the day date
Nigga, you expect me to know how long a meter, and how 1000 of those are going to look like together?
I know how big my feet are. I know that a knuckle on my thumb is about 1 in. My armspan is about one fathom. Great Britain essentially uses real measurements for everyday use, too. Go fuck yourself.
>I know how big my feet are. I know that a knuckle on my thumb is about 1 in. My armspan is about one fathom. Great Britain essentially uses real measurements for everyday use, too
pleb
should have used the ancient Egyptian one
>is about 1 in
>about
that pretty much sums up both that post and 'murican mentality
Anyone who works with the US government knows 24 hour time and the metric system.
I'm not a burger, but what's confusing about that?
It just looks like a generic wall clock to me.
>The best format is DD/MM/YY, who cares for the year were in, the most important info is the day date
Agreed.
YYYY/MM/DD is at least acceptable, as it's still properly ordered, but in reverse.
MM/DD/YYYY is hideous.
>I'm not a burger, but what's confusing about that?
>It just looks like a generic wall clock to me.
They can't read it
Yes, seriously
haha benis :---D
:(
Neither can britbongs
I refuse to believe that. You niggas are shitting me.
If that's true, I honestly fail to see how they are two of the largest economic powers in the world.
It's true probably has to do with their schooling system
>Euros grasping this hard
I use military time too. I'll guarantee you most Americans are better about this shit than Britniggers.
I'd hope so since they idolize their military so much you'd think they could read the time they use
They can't read analog clocks, they also can't read 24h clocks
It's hilarious
Yes because people were thinking in terms of computers and bits and graphics when devising the 12 hour clock. Are you retarded?
SI is pointless in computing since it's fudamentally base-2 and physical measurements are ANSI. SI only works when describing electricity.
Anybody who uses megabyte instead of mebibyte should give up and buy a Chromebook.
>ditgital clock
the retard here is you
>I use military time too
Wow
Do you use microwave time too?
We contactless now in Europe
>who cares for the year were in
Anyone who's ever worked in any meaningful position whatsoever and had to find something in last year's files. Then again modern database software supports various tags anyway to accommodate the human stupidity.
And it's a step backwards in security.
>Security
If you care about security you use cash, instead of telling Goldberg your entire history of purchase and geolocation at every purchase
Why do the retards in the military say, for example, "eleven hundred twenty" instead of "eleven twenty"? They're not hundreds.
It's not like it can get confusing, if you're omitting am/pm it's pretty clear you're not using the 12 hours system so it can't be mistaken for 23:20.
This.
I'm honestly fed up with boomers unironically saying that "cash should be abolished".
Always use cash whenever possible.
>microwave time
What a wild ride that was. I want off it Mister Bones.
You don't learn how to read a clock in school, that is your parents job. Something you should be able to do before entering school.
Real boomers love cash
If anything it's zoomers that pay with iPhones and shit
Well most schools dont know this
You're right about zoomers, but I did see quite a few boomers with the same attitude.
Generally, I noticed that there are two distinct kinds of boomers:
>those who are semi-luddite and completely distrust any new technology made past the 70s or so
>those who hop on any new technological fad and believe new = good. they are usually the boss who asks you how to use his new shiny ipad
I've personally met more in the latter category, I think.
>those who hop on any new technological fad and believe new = good.
Leftists
Not even being Jow Forums, but Ted described them accurately
>physical measurement are ANSI
ANSI is old shit superseded by ASME, and ASME itself converted all spec in SI measurement about after 2000. But, being burgers, they didn't convert them exactly so now there are TWO ASME standards, SI and Imperial, both valid and incompatible one with the other.
Thank you burgers.
And they still don't understand chips :^)
a friend in college literally didn't know how to read one. he also didn't understand what "half past/quarter to" meant
>And they still don't understand chips :^)
I would be mad too if I lived in third world where POS had dial-up that takes 240 seconds to process a payment
LMAO
Mutt sensor is off the charts
Analog is objectively obsolete. Digital is faster, more precise, and more legible. The only advantages analog has are vastly outweighed by those of digital and are so minor and situational that they might as well not exist
Prove me wrong
The fact that it filters burgers is enough for me to make it better
>More legible
Jesus Christ
It takes me like 0.0001 sec to tell the time from a glance at my wrist
And needs no goddamn battery
220 V
230*
zoomers can't tell the time with these
Oh my giddy Aunt, I have an erection!
Northern boys love gravy.
i literally use that as my gnome pie center can read it too
apparently 10:09 is when the human eye and brain most readily grok analog watch faces.
youtube.com
Oh boy
disagree, MB GB TB PB and so on, except kB...
but ...bit = MBit, GBit, etc.
t. swiss
wtf are you talking about i use that every day
Because yuropoors are too stupid to understand aliasing
this images contains oranges, tangerines, satsumas and mandarins.
America couldnt cope with the complexity so they are all called "oranges" in USA.
Just in case
>Goatse
found the pajeet
>Yuros constantly shit talk Americans for trusting Zuckerberg
>Are required to use this to participate in society
It's zoomers who want to abolish cash. Some places only accept electronic forms of payment.
Une bonne poutine du Québec
Americans call this "Disco Fries"
it's 9 past 10. or 10:09. Are you two being serious or what? long hand for minutes, small hand for hours.
real men use atomic clocks
holy shit
Is this a meme? analog clocks are everywhere in America and everyone can read them
