Above: how Chinese propaganda sees America

Below: how Americans see America

[–] [email protected] 47 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (12 children)

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

[–] joel_feila 6 points 1 year ago

Well I'm trying to get the the kilofoot to catch on

[–] scarabic 6 points 1 year ago

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.

The headline implies that the trade deal went through.

[–] kevinbacon 18 points 1 year ago

What do you think big macs are made of?

[–] soviettaters 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The FBI set up a sting while looking for people who want to trade babies for Big Macs. It's a bigger problem than you think.

[–] ki77erb 6 points 1 year ago

"Babies for Big Macs" sounds like some weird non-profit charity.

So basically the world sees us like we see Florida.

[–] nyoooom 34 points 1 year ago

Yeah from my experience the US is the Florida of the world.

We all know you guys aren't all crazy, but there is enough of them to be part of the final picture in our mind.

[–] AA5B 8 points 1 year ago

That’s probably fair

[–] LouNeko 26 points 1 year ago (15 children)

I think there are states in the US where its easier to make a baby than a living wage.

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.

[–] GreyDawn 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yet, the picture is about the United States. lol

That, and being dependent on your automobile.

True, within some big American cities, a mostly) carfree life is possible if you live in a condo near a metro station.

But walkable neighborhoods are a rarity, while they are the default in the rest of the world.

As an American, definitely see America as the bottom picture.

[–] havokdj 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

A meter used to measure how many TERRORISTS we killed today B-)

America is a really big and diverse place. Really it's both and neither depending on where you are

Spoken like a true non American

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You can tell how old this is - a baby's only worth 6 Big Macs anymore.

In merica we got Kill-o-meters, and they go up to big numbers.

[–] drdabbles 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Jokes on all of you, I know what a kilometer is because it's the maximum distance I would walk to trade a baby for 15 Big Macs.

[–] Ddhuud 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't believe you. Obviously not the baby part, but the walking part.

Yeah he's an idiot but why is there only 1 mugshot, who's the dude that bought the baby?

[–] dwalin 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If a man ofered me a baby for 15 big macs, i would accept the deal, take the baby and go to the police.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

So you lose the baby AND 15 Big Macs!? Terrible negotiation skills. You got played.

Citizens of the USA should strive to be the America that Capcom Japan thinks you are

The lower picture is missing a conferderate flag next to the fat idiot, that would definitely be there in my head!

[–] tio_bira 7 points 1 year ago

Oh no, save me from this place with free healthcare and with so rarely occurence of school shooting than they became national tragedies instead regular thursday news.

[–] CAVOK 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

A kilometer is 4,971 furlongs, or 10,96 football fields.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Football fields are a stupid measurement in more than one way, because you can not just measure the width or the length, but football fields can be of varying sizes too.

[–] CAVOK 6 points 1 year ago (7 children)

It was a joke about we how Americans will use any measurement except the metric system. I'm sorry.

Also this never fails to make me smile.

"In metric, one milliliter of water occupies one cubic centimeter, weighs one gram, and requires one calorie of energy to heat up by one degree centigradeβ€”which is 1 percent of the difference between its freezing point and its boiling point. An amount of hydrogen weighing the same amount has exactly one mole of atoms in it. Whereas in the American system, the answer to β€˜How much energy does it take to boil a room-temperature gallon of water?’ is β€˜Go fuck yourself,’ because you can’t directly relate any of those quantities" -- Josh Bazell

We don’t know what those numbers mean with your communist commas. A decimal point (period) is the only real way to delimit unit from fractional units

Can confirm. McDonald's now no longer offers the Baby for a Big Mac deal. Thanks, assholes.
