Body camera video equivalent of 25 million copies of "Barbie"

Is this a typical unit of measurement in journalism? Like what even is this? Crappy in-article advertising? Some weird SEO shit? An odd attempt to be cool and hip?

It's America; anything but metric.

And which "metric" unit of time measurement do you prefer?

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Well, metric time, obviously:

I prefer seconds since 00:00:00 on Jan 1st, 1970

Ah yes, the metric measurement of time. My favorite.

Your point? It's still not really a valid comment. Just a braindead joke that's played out even when it's actually relevant lol

[–] drbluefall@toast.ooo 5 points 9 months ago

Yes.

It's the kind of phrasing you use when you're paid for how long an article is, but not how good it is.
