There has been a warning issued for your district, Tom Brady has been sighted. Keep your doors locked and your cups covered.

If Tom Brady knocks on your door, above all: Don't reply. Don't make a sound. Don't cry, weep or even sweat. Hide, and pray, for he can sense any fluids on your skin.

We'd like to issue a correction. In our previous story, we've stated that Tom Brady can sense fluids on the outside of a person. We've received confirmation that Tom Brady has now developed the ability to sense them on the inside as well. May God have mercy on us all, for Tom Brady has none.

IDK about 37 glasses (how much even is that) but I once got an ambulance ride after downing 9 liters of water in a single 8 hour work shift (I worked a desk job). That definitely fucked up my electolytes a bit.

a glass is roughly 8 ounce. 1 gallon of water is 128 fluid ounces.

so 37 glasses is about 2.3 gallons. (about 8.7L). for roundings sake, lets just say 2.5 gallons or 9L worth

Genuinely incapable of understanding how could your education system be so bad with that measurement system!

[–] Dudewitbow@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

because some places don't realize that imperial units are only used outside of science classes. in science, its all metric for the most part. its not one or the other, its both.

it's like the concept of metric time(yes it did exist at some point). It was eventually dropped. regardless if you think its bad, blame the pirates that raided the ship carrying metric measurements to the US

[–] theUwUhugger@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We used the imperial when I attended 1 year of middle school there, even in science class?

And surely you guys use measurement units outside of scientific context, no? How the fuck is this usable even in everyday example? (https://img1.wsimg.com/isteam/ip/23d2321c-d442-451b-b14d-920e0592d640/Screen%20Shot%202020-10-17%20at%2011.47.02%20PM.png)

It physically hurts me to even look at this!

[–] Dudewitbow@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

what were you measuring in middle school of all things, that would warrant using imperial units...

if you cant look at anything not based 10, I hope you dont handle anything time or computer related

[–] theUwUhugger@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Was your measurement systems values decided by a drunk dice game?

1/12->1->3->5280->6080

Just say that out loud

[–] Dudewitbow@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

when do you use all of those measurements in the same context is the follow up question.

for example, why do europeans still use calories for food. the SI unit for energy is joule. things are decided because "thats what people are used to" . the calorie is not an SI unit.

[–] theUwUhugger@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why would you change calories into joules?

And what do you mean you europeans? You guys use calories too! So does china and… I have not been to any other countries but I am fairly certain they use calories too!

[–] Dudewitbow@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

which is the point, because the answer on why people in the US use imperial units is because it's what theyre used too . you asked why change calories into joules? the same sentiment is said for ANY fucking measurement. It's not an issue of being pro imperial or pro metric, its to point out the fact that its just a matter of what units you are just used to measuring in.

Why would you change calories into joules?

because joules is the SI unit to measure energy, and Calorie is the amount of energy it takes to increase the temperature of 1 square centimeter of water by 1 degree celcius. why have 2 measurements of energy? 1 (kilo) calorie is 4184 Joules. an equally ridiculous number when considering imperial numbers.

Ah, so slightly more than 37 glasses can kill you then.

[–] fushuan@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Normal glasses here are 0.25 litters more or less. That's around 4 glasses a litter.

37 glasses are 9.25 liters. Rounded down to 9 because people don't fill their classes to the brim, idk.

Your numbers scare me.

[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 3 points 1 year ago

I say some water not to follow this guy wicked advice.

How much water do y'all drink?

I hover around 1.5 gallons/6 liters a day.
