Gnome users be like?
Gnome users are weird, like Gnome (I use KDE Plasma btw)
In Hamburgerland, we have the freedom to retardedly choose to use Freedom-units ™ like feet & inches
Because quarter pounder just sounds better than eighth kilogrammer
Royale with cheese has a nice ring to it though
We just call it a Burger ;)
Throwback to when they tried introducing the third pounder and y’all complained because you thought it was smaller.
Or maybe shame on Big Burger for being too scared to introduce a half pounder.
I want QF 25-pounder
Studying the history of marketing is immensely depressing.
125 grammer
Buck-twenty-Gs, baby!
Call it a gutfiller.
You know what I like eighth kilogrammer, a kg especially of meat is heavy as hell
No, you have the freedom to not chose anything other than feet.
If I were to write a programme where it would be typical to choose between units of measurement, which I’m not, the drop down menu would have a choice of “SI units” and “fuck no, you don’t get to choose!”
Programme?
Edit: I looked it up, it’s a British thing. I’m not a native speaker, I’ve never seen it written like that. It looks French, I thought you guys hated the French.
We actually use program for computer programs, but programme for a programe of events. We like to be irregular.
Sounds like the US got this one right when we dumped the latter.
Spelling is still a hot mess in US English, but it’s substantially better than British.
Almost half of all English words are borrowed from French, dating from when England was colonized and culturally subjugated by the Norman French starting in 1066.
I’m aware. I just find it funny that some British words like “centre” and “colour” look more French than the US counterpart
For me as a non native it is computer program, put a tv programme
Fun fact: J’aime la France, but I’m neither French, nor British. I just try to emulate my spoken pronunciation in my writing.
SI or die, that’s what I always say. (Not actually, but it rhymed, and I prefer SI)
For most people the imperial system is better. Fahrenheit puts 0-100 in relation to how humans feel heat, 0 is very cold, 100 is very hot, neither will kill you if you take minor precautions. Feet are the same, most everyday objects are spread across 0-10 feet long/tall. Using celsius and meters requires using a scale between -18 and 38, and a scale between 0 and 3.3. Both are clearly inferior number ranges to use when we arent required to.
Is this blender??
Yes, it is.
why is the ui style so different? is this a newer version that I’m not familiar with?
Yeah there was a big overhaul of the UI with the release of 2.80. Then the devs just kept updating it and it’s past version 4.0 now.
Edit: but the white text box in OP’s meme isn’t a part of it.
Aren’t the icons in the middle usually colors? It’s this a theme, does blender have themes?
The UX is onto something tho. What caused feet to become sooooooooo much more goddam popular in the last 10 years?
Like it’s my understanding that gays grew a condom fetish after AIDS began killing everyone in the 1900s…
a big group of people have always liked feet. It’s one of those kinks accidentally caused by our anatomy - the nerves going out to your feet connect to the spinal cord close to the nerves going out to your genitals, and sometimes the signal travels along both lines.
It’s such a close connection many people, myself included, can feel a particularly strong orgasm in their feet. It’s a very distinct feeling as if electricity running down through your leg, into the foot, and “climaxing” in your ring toe, making it curl and twitch a bit (i also suspect this is the exact reason why the ring toe is associated with love [though idk how farspread this factoid is]). I don’t have a foot fetish but I can definitely see how it’d be very easy to create an association between strong arousal and feet
and per the popularity part - people are just much more open about the kinks they have. To the point where even vanilla people start getting curious about soft kinks like spanking, blindfolds, or fluffy handcuffs
I forgot about the foot twitch
“1900s”

I’m bi and I don’t know anybody with a condom fetish lmaoooo. Almost everybody is on PREP now specifically so they don’t have to use condoms lol. Maybe your understanding is poisoned by the fact that you call us “the gays” and don’t actually seem to interact with any lgbt people on the regular.
Gay guy here. No condom fetish.
Clueless straight person question: Aren’t you worried about herpes or syphilis?
Gay people are generally fairly slutty. Image if ever guy’s dream slut was also just another guy. Well, they all have the same attraction to sluts, so they all end up being sluts for each other. Sluts for sluts.
Generalizations cannot be applied to the individual.
Slut.
I mean, nice, but that definitely doesn’t in any way alleviate my fears of syphilis.
The fact that it’s easily cured with antibiotics should tho!!
Well, usually.
1/2 the world population has herpes and like 1/10 in the US. It’s literally just a painful rash and the outbreaks can be treated.
More like 70% of the US adult population if you include the asymptomatic carriers of both HSV 1 and 2.

Hey, don’t kink-shame.
Nervously deletes all feet pics
Imperial, or US customary?
I like the wording customary alot more then people spoutn’ “standard”
As someone who isnt from the… I think two or three? countries in this world that still use the imperial system standard is metric for me. So yes, if someone means the US customary system and isn’t in the USA they shouldn’t say standard or they’ll confuse people
What if I need to measure the weight of my new trainers?
In stones?
Lived in the UK for quite some time now. Still can’t wrap my head around stone…which is kinda ironic being a Stonemason and all…

Sensible chuckle
I may get a lot of flack for this, but here is my perspective as someone with over 20 years experience as a machinist in the US. Over the course of my career, I have become more than comfortable using metric, imperial, and us custimary units.
For science? Metric is fantastic. For literally everything else - us customary is faster, easier, more understandable, and actually more approachable in terms of trying to actually build something.
Let’s start with simply building something as the first example. Fractions, (and angles relative to fractions) are more intuitive to work with, faster, and overall easier to work with than decimal equivalents. One could easily spend more time trying to measure 1.905 cm vs very quickly dividing 1 into 3/4".
Furthermore, units are just that. An arbitrarily agreed upon measurement. None of them make any “more sense” than any other. If the Royal Society had agreed on a hogs head as a standard unit of volume, we’d likely still be using it.
I may be rambling at thus point. However, my entire point here is that there is objectively no such thing as a superior unit of measure. They are all made up and have uses that they are best suited for.
One could easily spend more time trying to measure 1.905 cm vs very quickly dividing 1 into 3/4".
If the standard is written in Metric, the factory that makes the parts uses metric, and the place where the parts are used uses metric, why don’t they just use 2cm screws instead?
Your argument for the convenience of imperial is that the standard uses imperial. No shit. It would be just as hard to cut something to 0.787" inches if the standard were in metric.
Also the reason metric makes more sense is I don’t need a calculator to convert centimeters to kilometres. You need a calculator to convert inches to miles. AND you have to memorise the conversion factor! What a waste of brainpower
That was also part of my point. I am tired of people trying to impose one unit or series of units being superior when they are all just made up.
The reason metric makes sense is because its standard, and 90% of the world uses it. Being the odd one out just causes problems in the long term, especially as we move towards a more globalized world.
More then 90%, there are only 3 countries who don’t.
What is your professional opinion on decimal feet? I had to use such a measuring tape at work, it took me half a day to figure out what was going on with that abomination.
Edit: to clarify, feet were divided in 10 units, not 12, so one and a half feet was at the “5” mark between 1 and 2 ft, not the “6” mark.
Sadly, at that point, you need to know the decimal equivalent (this happpens often with precision measurement) for instance 1/4 is 0.25 etc. I agree that it is horrible for a tape measure style measurement, but it isn’t so bad once you’re used to seeing the fractional equivalent as a decimal.
This is where the French messed up not using base 12. We could have had the best of both worlds.
This. Base 10 sucks because it’s harder to evenly divide. People give imperial a bunch of shit because the conversion factors are weird (and they really are), but have no problem with time units which are even more fucked up. We use a metric-like system for measuring units smaller than a second (milli, micro, nano seconds), but then there are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day, 7 days in a week, etc etc. The Gregorian calendar doesn’t even have a simple conversion between things like days and months! It depends on the fucking month!
You can divide 1cm into 3/4 too if you want. There’s no point using inches.
