even the beeb is still clinging to imperial units sometimes...

/look brits, I have to take shots where I can because I live in near the smouldering hellscape that is gangland portland, and I'm barely hanging on, the sound of the frogs is deafening

I wouldn’t say gangland. That bit of Dorset isnt Bournemouth.

it's fun how many times you can say portland, no, not that one, no, not that one either... nooooOOOoo, not that one EITHER....

Yeah I don't really know what I weigh because my stupid bathroom scales tell me it in stone. And that's my excuse for being a fat bastard, bathroom scales fault and nothing else.

Stones can be all kinds of sizes and weights.

[–] UrbonMaximus@feddit.uk 2 points 2 days ago

I personally prefer to know people's weight in pebbles.

We need more straightforward headlines.

I saw a few videos on youtube about growing those big AF vegetables. It was a super interesting to dive into that topic for a bit because there are so many little things that play into growing them!

Oh what a beauty, I've never seen one as big as it before
