Sounds like they can count to 144 on the dozens hand then use they’re single hand for an additional 12 or at least that’s how I’d go about it

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's something you've been meaning to share?
2·1 year agoThe great molasses flood of 1919. Killed 21 people and the streets of Boston smelled of molasses for years after, yet it’s never taught in our history books.
There’s a bunch in the Simpsons, but my favorite is probably them trashing Arby’s. I always thought marketing didn’t work on me until I started watching the Simpsons and mysteriously stopped liking Arby’s.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What do you enjoy sharing with others, or providing guidance about (besides the fediverse)?
2·1 year agoYeah, I never learned about the great molasses flood in high school. You’d think stuff like that would be taught.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is the origin of your username/nickname?
3·1 year agoUsername should be pretty self explanatory. If you still don’t get it you can either ask me or bravely run away.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is a human behaviour you've never understood?
7·1 year agoWhen I went to Puerto Rico (same country, poorer area) my wife and I went on a guided paddle boarding ride that included him teaching us how to paddle board, then paper boarding, we met a couple wild manatees who came right up to us, then we went snorkeling. I believe he did groups of up to 6, but there were 2 no shows and 2 empty spots so it was just my wife and I for a 2 - 3 hour trip and was an absolute blast. I don’t remember how much it cost, probably $60 - $100 each range. At the end we tipped him like $40 and it looked like he was going to cry. I honestly thought tipping that much on a guided tour like that was upper end of normal, but his reaction made me think he doesn’t usually get tips like that.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•You have the ability to control any person in the world for one minute, what do you do with this ability?
3·1 year agofinally take a swan dive down the stairs and break my neck.
Think you’d even be able to get his feet off the ground?
Yeah, but it’s the cyclist that annoys me (more than cars. Cars do annoy me as well). At least the ones wearing a helmet and riding a street bike.
If they’re wearing a hoodie and a backpack I usually sympathize with them. They probably got jammed up and this is their only way to get to work, groceries, drugs, see someone, or whatever else they might need to go out for

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you (or anyone you know) have a fear (or I guess you can call this a paranoia) that people who are living with you, are snooping on your phones/computers/storage devices/journals/etc?
1·1 year agoMy spouse and I know each others passwords, and I don’t have anything to hide from them either so no I’m not concerned about that.
I am on my parents family plan, so they could potentially see some of my stuff, but I’m sure they don’t know how and wouldn’t be able to keep up with it even if they did

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What was cancelled or discontinued that you wish wasn't or that they brought it back?
8·1 year agoLays had some chocolate covered potato chips that would come out around the holidays. I didn’t care for them myself, but my wife loved them and I miss buying them for her

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is the longest you've been awake without sleep? When and why did you do it?
6·1 year ago40 hours. Mix between working to pay for college and overdue assignments. Then drive 2 hours to Thanksgiving and had Thanksgiving lunch. Then went into a food coma for 14 hours straight

8·1 year agoTf are you even trying to say? Use some details. Who’s we? Who’s the one man? Who’s us? The guy I’m assuming is the one man from earlier??? Who’s going to prison?

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's a long standing personal or family mystery that occupies your mind?
1·2 years agoSomething about Al Capone. Originally I heard we were related, but I don’t think that’s true, but my great grandma did chase him out of her house with her cane at one point.

2·2 years agoI believe it isn’t even a misdemeanor which could be why it’s lumped in with states where it isn’t a misdemeanor, but I could be wrong

Nah most US tracks are 400 meters, but everyone says quarter mile due to rounding
