I was just running with the 100 cubic inches to see what that would be.
More seriously, like how a metric cup is 250mL (15mL tablespoon) I agree that a metric gallon would be 4L. In fact, in my neck of the woods “a gallon of milk” is in fact 4L.

5 metric gallons equals 1.8 imperial gallons

The funeral depicted is a viral video where the pallbearers are dancing/swaying so it’s like you’ll die and even your casket will be moving afterwards.

I loathe the trend to blame the end consumer for their waste and eliminate very publicly visible things like straws when the vast majority is caused by industry every step of the way. The amount of plastic I see in retail garbage bins is sickening, and the average customer has no clue because it’s all long before anything ends up on the shelf.
Then people stop using plastic cutlery and think they’re helping the planet meanwhile it’s just a facade to keep the real wasters off their radar.

- Comment on what books about personal boundaries do you know that don't mention god? 1 month ago:
Is it simply a matter of personal preference, cultural norms, or social contracts?
So is god (or at least I’m sure you’d agree, the vast majority of gods), so not sure why appealing to a higher power solves this.
If you rely solely on human reason, empathy, and self-interest, you will struggle to establish a consistent moral framework for setting boundaries.
The framework is what’s healthy for you and others. Knowing your personal limits and goals. There isn’t some supernatural “boundary dimension” you need to tap into or anything.

Two nuns are riding their bikes back to the convent.
One nun says to the other, “I don’t think I’ve ever come this way before.”
And the other one says, “It’s the cobblestones.”

Unpopular opinion: there’s a point where more stacked=less attractive and it’s super common in anime to have crossed that line.

I did think of the milk example, but I’d argue that’s not quite an apt comparison as milk is sort of a generic term for similar things from different sources and often just any white liquid. If we had a different, special word for just cow’s milk for example, it’d be weird to call anything else by that name.
I’d argue the equivalent term to “milk” in this case would be syrup. There are many types of syrup, but we specifically use “honey” to mean “syrup made by bees”.
- Comment on stupid sexy apples 1 month ago:
Is it really honey if not made by bees?

- Comment on Avatar (the one with the blue aliens) is such a weird franchise 2 months ago:
Sure, the movies aren’t very deep, but the world-building and visuals are pretty great. The emotional beats tend to hit as they should too so it’s entertaining fluff. Sure, I enjoy a fancy steak, but I’m also going to fully enjoy cotton candy at the carnival too.
