I'm on a diet and I can't eat for 28 more minutes.

Down 20lbs though.

For any european out there : 9.07 kg.
For @lungdart: congrats, keep going! That's already great!

@pipe * non American

@CuberDude You're right. I've commited the same crime of being self-centered than every self-centered US-American.

Off-topic but you guys successfully fulfilled 2 of my 3 US movies cringes 😀
1. "I'm American" when they mean ""I was born in the US"
2. "I'm going to Europe", as if Europe was a country (although to be fair, 2 US states are often as different as 2 European countries are)
3. "It's a free country" : what does that even mean?? That anyone can do anything they want??

@nonox
3. Yes, as long as it is legal :)

@nonox
1. The term is inconsistent with other geographic terms, but can you come up with a better one that is short enough for convenient use. Luckily, other countries in the area have better names, so there's little conflict. I consider it more cringy to use the names of individual states with the assumption that everyone knows that they are referring to states in the USA (would you know where is Sakha or Thuringia).

And btw, being American and being birthed in the USA are two different things.

2. I think it's always ok to use the name of the continent if it's different from the one you're currently on. It's a flipping different continent after all. However, it is cringy if you can't name a single country on a continent (whether you're going there or not).

@nonox I'm Canadian. We use the term American to refer to USA civilians, not civilians of the continent.

We also measure your personal weight in lbs, and most other things in Kg.

That’s even worse than using lbs consistently! Wtf, Canada? 😄

@Lensflare We also measure our height in feet and inches and also in construction. Roads use Km and Km/h, and everyone can reference things in meters.

@Lensflare used to be imperial before going metric in the 70s. Something's just never took.

Why they never took? Probably Saskatchewan's fault.

@lungdart Indian here
Everything is metric except high which is in feet and while taking body temperature is farhenheit (idk why we do that) weather is in Celcius and no i don't no the conversion we just know that 100+ F take a fever med

@CuberDude we do heat in C. Some people still measure fevers in F but they know the conversion. Generally older people still using F for body temps.

@CuberDude considering that feet originated from measuring distances for walking, it is ironic that it is now only used for heights. :)

@Lensflare Maybe it would make sense that distances are measures in feet and heights in legs 😂

@nonox Sorry to dig the topic up, but I said "US-American", not "American" alone, so I was specifically refering to people from the United States of America. Also, living on the European continent means you're european. That doesn't mean Europe is a country, as much as being a Londonian doesn't mean that London is a country.
