The US-defaultism that happens on the internet is very annoying
Yeah, it's especially annoying when you live in a different English speaking country. I don't give a shit about your pounds in the chicken recipe.
That's right! Put dollars in the chicken recipe!
Anyway that's my two cents.
Let’s say 2/100 of your country’s primary monetary unit. No reason to be US centric.
And cups, and spoons…
Yeah, wtf is a cup of butter?
So refreshing on a cold day…
Pounds mass or pounds force? 😅
Do you plan on cooking in space?
Freedom! Pounds of Freedom!
I added 3 tbs lead but it tastes kinda funny
I immediately became a bit upset when I read this post and realized US defaultism was going to happen on lemmy too now. Very annoying thing.
You guys are nuts if you let it bother you.
Literally makes no sense.
The US! Oppressing everything else in the world since...the beginning!
I'm just dumb and forget the world wide web is, well, world wide haha. I just live in my own little bubble sometimes but i'm trying to be better about not blindly assuming the folks i interact with on here and other places are from the US
