1) I personally don’t but people do, yes.
2) I don’t know, to be honest. Because we always have, I suppose.
3) I never thought about that, but you’re right. Feet were originally used for length (the Roman Foot). Then it became the standard for everything. I can provide insight on the origins of some of these units.
The inch was originally the length of the Roman ruler’s thumb, from tip to first knuckle. The foot was, logically, the length of the Roman ruler’s foot. A yard is three feet. Miles are used for longer distances (roughly 1.6 kilometers) and based on 5,000 Roman feet. I don’t know why it’s 5,280 feet today.
4) I don’t know, I’ve never been to NYC.
5) Oh my goodness yes.
6) Yup. No idea why. They’re more holes than jeans, for crying out loud!
7) It’s a useless holiday. The day after Thanksgiving, there are deals on Christmas stuff. The advertising is absurd.
8/9) These are related. Can you guess how?
10) Yes, unfortunately.
11) I have no idea. I hate it; my sister is obsessed with it.
12) Because they’re delicious. Need I say more?
13) Ugh. It pains me to admit it; yes. My family never buys it, though.
14) Same as number twelve.
15) I have no idea, although it could be due to the fact that there’s a different amount of sales tax in each state (which is also stupid).
16) No.
17) It’s called a convenience store. They want it to be convenient.
11) Youuu what?!
I. Hate. It. With a flaming passion.
....Well, maybe I will, but never, EVER, again on this post. Because, c’mon, WHO OTHER THEN MY SISTER DOESN’T LIKE RANCH DRESSING?!?!?!
1. My family did once. They were unhealthy, but super tasty.
2. Who knows?
3. It’s not what you think lol.
4. Well, I’m not. Some of the others are, I must admit.
5. Sure he’s a fixer-upper, but he’s much better then our last one in my opinion.
6. Sadly, yes.
7. Black Friday is the day... I dunno.
8. Maybe some people over here *cough* my sister *cough* like assortment or something. And you forgot Tacobell!
9. Dunno.
10. I wouldn’t know. I hope not...
11. You poor souls! I must send you ranch dressing! It’s so delicious!
12. Wait.... are yours small?!
13. If we did, that’s just weird.
14. I don’t like the other flavors. *gags*
15. I have no clue, but that would be very helpful!
16. NO.
17. Because they have food....?
5. WHAT?! Explain this.
Do I need to go into that?
for the second one fahrenheit is easier to remember
in the metric system everything s in 10's for example boiling is 100 degrees and freezing is 0 degree.
Sunblaze, that's only because we are used to it. We grew up learning Fahrenheit, the rest of the world grew up with Celsius. It's like your first language: you always remember it, but that doesn't mean it's easy or less complicated than other languages.
1. I think so
2. Named after some person who invented it
3. It is to Americans dont ask
4. Depends on people, NYC is crazy but new yorkers like I and many others are nice. Its not only NYC in NY
5. I wish but Mr. Cheetoh is unfixable.
6. Celebrities yes
7. Something to do with a religion after Thanksgiving and were most people shop for deals
8. I know, they are stupid places to go and make America fat.
9. See number 8 we are unhealthy
10. What now?
11. Ewwww no
12. They are? It depends on the size
13. Spray cheese yes and its disgusting
14. There are flavors?
15. Idk why its annoying.
16. No
17. Theres a food aisle but their food is bad
i've had food from there, not really produce, but i love most of their food!
1. do you really deep fry Oreos -i dunno, i like oreos the way they are
2. why do u use Fahrenheit and not Celsius like the rest of the world -WHAT DO YOU MEAN FARENHeIT IS SO SIMPLE
3. using the term feet when referring to hight doesn't make any sense -ft is simple
4. are New Yorkers actually rude -actually, i don't know i live in california and never been there
5. fix your president plz -i hate him too!
6. do people really where those clothes you see on tv that look totally unpractical and impossible to wear. -sometimes
7. what is black friday -the friday after thanksgiving where everything is SUPER cheap
8. why do you have all these fast food places like Wendys, bugerking and arbys -'cuz they tatse good
9. how on earth does America have a 38 % obesity rate -cuz american food is GREAT
10. do you really sell beer at your pharmacies -yes, prolly
11. why is every person In the us obsessed with ranch dressing in Australia we don't even have it. -becuz we eat a lot of salad and ranch is good with salad
12. why are your pizzas soo big -i think they are quite small!
13. do you really sell cheese in a can -sometimes, yes
14. what with all the flavours of Oreos. in Australia you either get the original flavour or you get nothing. -cuz we get sick of things easily
15. why don't you add the sales tax to the price tag. -huh?
16. can a baby own a gun -probably not
17.why can you go grocery shopping in target -cuz they want MONEY
I agree totally with everything you said except #5
American food is literally just hot dogs, pizza, and basicallya mix of so many different cultures food turned fatter and unhealthier.
ps
i like targets groceries
just over the tip of expensive, though
and ranch is to LOVE
I have never tasted it before
wait. WHAT?
What about mayo?
did you try that before?
yes of course I've tried mayo nut the question is have you tried Tim tams?
and how do you know about Trumpet? I mean trump?
I think everybody know about trump. And Azurestorm, (Not meaning to be offensive) but, we can't fix our president. He's our president, whether you share his beliefs or not is your opinion. But, he is our president. I personally like his beliefs. If you don't, then pls don't hate. Everyone has opinions! You believe what you want and I believe what I want.
( I am SO super sorry if that was offensive or rude! I do not want anyone to be offended! I am so so so so so so so sorry if you are offended!!!)
well I own a tv and trust me every Australian knows about him straight up even that time when he accused Barack Obama of not being born in the US
I was gone for a week! 1 WEEK!
Ava you now me I spam you like no other
Morning
Also I heard a rumour that you guys don't have Tim Tams. I it true? :0
no wonder America has so many school shootings it is because there are are no Tim tams
We may have another name for them
We don't have Tim Tams, although I've always wanted to try them. Are they similar to Twix?
1. Girl, we fry everything
2. There's probably some reason we haven't switched yet, but I don't know what it is
3. I don't know either
4. idk, never been that far East
5. Honestly, he's not that bad. Yeah sure he's far from being perfect, but he's no worse then a lot of former U.S. Presidents, the press just likes giving him a hard time
6. I certainly don't
7. A long time ago, when business used to keep records in books, they used two colors to keep track of their money: red for when they were in debt, and black for when they were not. Well, shops spent most of the year in the 'red', but to get out of that, they would put on a huge scale around Christmas time to make up the money they owed, and push them back into the 'black'. Now it's just become a mad rush to get things for cheap
8. Americans want things fast
9. We are quite lazy
10. I don't think so
11. Ranch is a pretty versatile dressing, and tastes good with a lot of things
12. Depends on where the pizza comes from
13. Easy cheese. And it pretty much only tastes good on crackers
14. Americans like variety
15. So it looks cheaper
16. idk
17. You can, but my family can't because the closest Target is 400 miles away
thanks for taking time out of your day to do this
It is? For #17
I just found this and it's sadly true, although funny:
Oh lord im going to cry if that NY means NYC. even Americans are uneducated at their states.
Alaska and Hawaii are apparently non existent
http://www.usdebtclock.org/
gracious
is that how we look?
plus, don't tell me people see los angelos and not san fran!
San Francisco is probably one of my favourite US cities.
and no one even thought of including DISNEY LAND?
They did Disney World but not Disneyland!?!!??
That image is almost correct, in Australia we binge on a lot of your tv shows so we mostly know about america through them. Also who here knows what Full and Fuller House is?
Sorry Azure, you bring up Tay tay then I have my ranting rights too.
ava legend has it that I time you will make a post just about full house
What's Alaska like?
Nothing like it is on TV. Winter only lasts 5 months, during the summer months it can get into the 90s, we have things like Wal-Mart and Home Depot, we don't live in igloos, and we have actual cities
Can we NOT get into politics?!
