Fun fact: you can convert from miles to kilometers using the Fibonacci sequence:
1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 35
- 5 miles = 8 kilometers
- 21 miles = 35 kilometers
- 10 miles (2 + 8) = 16 kilometers (3 + 13)
So this means 1 mile = 1 kilometer.
Fun Fact: you can choose not to use miles
Well I’m trying to get the the kilofoot to catch on
And after choosing not to use them, you might need to convert them to something else sometimes. You gonna tell me Europeans never travel to America as tourists? This is a fascinating and easy to remember method for them or anyone else.
You came to the right thread for shitting on Americans, obviously, but you chose the wrong place for this condescending comment.
But I love Miles Morales
“Americans doing anything to not use the metric system” today: the Fibonacci sequence.
But why i should have to if I am not 'murican
Ps thank you.
You… shouldn’t? Unless you travel here as a tourist, as many do. This is converting FROM miles. I don’t understand why anyone would pick this place to shit on people who use miles. This comment offers a way out of using miles.
Just wanted to give a meme-y answer since we are in a meme side of the lemmy. I even thanked the person even though I think I will never travel outside my country given my circumstances.
In airspace, feet and miles are used very often
Pilots, maybe, they’re “special” like that. Engineers do not.
Jk
Yeah, but those are nautical miles, not murican miles.
Yes, nautical miles still have some logic behind, as they are based on degrees of latitude.
Still it’s funny to me that they are still called miles.
I appreciate this practical answer even though I just learned that only pilots uses this particular American measure system Americans call mile.
And where do i know which part of the fib sequence to use?
You can tell how old this is - a baby’s only worth 6 Big Macs anymore.
Wrong use of anymore.
Babies are still only worth 6 Big Mac’s. This was just greedflation.
So basically the world sees us like we see Florida.
Citizens of the USA should strive to be the America that Capcom Japan thinks you are
American presidents are DLC confirmed. Why cant we get a base game leader
1 mile = 5\3 km

Most of those other countries love McDonald’s, too.
“guns and eagle noises”
Which aren’t even eagle noises.
If one actually hears one they’ll immediately lose a ton of respect for them. They’re basically badass looking seagulls
America: I bet the rest of the world is so thinking about me right now.
The rest of the world: My brother in earth, I have my own shit going on.
We don’t think this… Other countries just think we think this. I’m not kidding, that’s actually the case lol.
It’s shocking for us in the states to learn about other countries knowing which states are which. We don’t even know that!
This is weird. I constantly see posts about how America is bad from Europeans. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one the other way around. Who is thinking about who all the time?
Mostly Europeans amuse themselves about how Americans think they’re living in a first world country while having absolute basic developed-world-shit just flat out fail. I.e. health care, consumer regulation, public transit, education, clean water. Sure the US is not uniform but it’s a single country. Even Europe has it’s own problems but most countries have this stuff figured out more or less.
The reason Europeans mock Americans is because Americans always ALWAYS complain about how they’re getting fucked. And Europeans are just like “lol that shit ain’t an issue here”. Which a) contributes to Europeans thinking the US is a shithole and b) making Americans seem kinda whiny.So many Americans are desperately trying to survive. I’m glad that our suffering is entertaining, though.
It’s nice to laugh at people who are dying because we don’t have health insurance. What a gas! /s

Y’all still waving your FATCA cock all over the world so excuse us for having some schadenfreude.
oh don’t let me interrupt your laughing at people starving and dying while you blame organizations that I have nothing to do with. I’ve never even heard of that.
I’m just a normal person trying to not die.
Ah yes the eternal American victim complex. I’ve heard about this.
seems like a human rights one to me, but you have fun with the edgy teen phase. good luck.
I mean to some countries, we are that shit going on.
Yeah he’s an idiot but why is there only 1 mugshot, who’s the dude that bought the baby?
In merica we got Kill-o-meters, and they go up to big numbers.

Ah, so Lemmy has the same low-effort America jokes as Reddit.
They hate us cause they ain’t us.
Seriously, jealous of our freedoms much?
Yes, everyone is quite jealous of the country ranked 40th on the freedom index, classified as a “flawed democracy” with “satisfactory” press freedoms.
Lol I’m doing just fine.
lol that has absolutely nothing to do with what you posted nor my response lmao rofl haha etc
I’m saying i have all the freedoms I want, no one hassles me over anything, I served my country, now I enjoy all the freedoms that come with it. Life is good, I don’t give a fuck about the press. They are trash. We rank 40thnin some made up category? Lol so fucking what. I don’t live in a shack, I have more than enough food to last me months, my kids are well educated and happy, my wife and I both have great paying jobs. I’m good. Younthrowing out some arbitrary number that doesn’t affect my life or freedoms doesn’t mean dick to me.
