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!"

[–] pipows@lemmy.today 12 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (5 children)

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.

[–] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 12 points 4 months ago (1 children)

We actually use program for computer programs, but programme for a programe of events. We like to be irregular.

[–] KrankyKong@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Sounds like the US got this one right when we dumped the latter.

[–] theonyltruemupf@feddit.de 5 points 4 months ago (4 children)

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.

[–] pipows@lemmy.today 4 points 4 months ago

I'm aware. I just find it funny that some British words like "centre" and "colour" look more French than the US counterpart

[–] MHanak@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

For me as a non native it is computer program, put a tv programme

[–] ZealousSealion@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 4 months ago

Fun fact: J'aime la France, but I'm neither French, nor British. I just try to emulate my spoken pronunciation in my writing.

In Hamburgerland, we have the freedom to retardedly choose to use Freedom-units (TM) like feet & inches

[–] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 22 points 4 months ago (6 children)

Because quarter pounder just sounds better than eighth kilogrammer

[–] ray@sh.itjust.works 22 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Royale with cheese has a nice ring to it though

[–] Nomad@infosec.pub 21 points 4 months ago

We just call it a Burger ;)

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 18 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Throwback to when they tried introducing the third pounder and y'all complained because you thought it was smaller.

[–] lars@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Or maybe shame on Big Burger for being too scared to introduce a half pounder.

No, you have the freedom to not chose anything other than feet.

why is the ui style so different? is this a newer version that I'm not familiar with?

[–] the_grass_trainer@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

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.

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…

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 17 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] lars@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 4 months ago

I forgot about the foot twitch

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.

[–] lars@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 4 months ago

Gay guy here. No condom fetish.

Well, it's only on open source projects where this would be possible.

Blender was made for hentai, porn and 3d sex. It just happens to be good at other things.
