Of course then when you ask how tall a bicycle is they'll tell you it's about as tall as a deer. Damn useless

About... yea high. Like, two dozen hamburgers.

So what you're saying is, I can make 800 venison hamburgers from a single deer? Nice.

If you like eating every single piece, guts, brains, bones and all, sure go for it 👍

Hey if you grind the bone fine enough you can't tell and it is a great source of calcium.

Did you just invent Deer Jello?

[–] Everythingispenguins@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

No that is when you boil the gelatin out of the joints. Then combine it with some blood and put it in the fridge to set. I like to use my deer shape ice cube tray.

You might have noticed. It's kind of our thing, doing things differently from the rest of the world for no good reason.

Different measuring system

Different cars

Different health care system

Different social ethics

Different system of government

Very few trains

We're just a bunch of silly dumbasses here.

I mean there is a good reason.... And that reason is, which I will state in this comment, is that the reason is very good in terms of the fact that hereby unto forthwith hence that reason is valid.

You're not, you're aware of that.

But some people are super America-centric and can't imagine switching to anything unamerican.

To be fair: if anyone's going to intuitively know the weight of 800 hamburgers, Americans are it. :)

Also, I'm not entirely opposed to using "every day" analogies for stuff like this.

[–] Zehzin@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Yeah they even named their official weight measurement after the quarterpounder hamburger
