Americans will use anything except the metric system

OP is a Trump supporter (look at their post history), so they probably chose the article with this title specifically

Not wrong but it’s the whole world and not for the reason they think

Oh! I use something somewhat similar for when I do need to browse Reddit on mobile. It’s called Sink It for Reddit . It doesn’t affect old Reddit so much but makes the mobile site bearable

I just refuse to use the official mobile app. When they killed Apollo, I left. I’ll use old Reddit sometimes when on my desktop but all my mobile browsing is on Lemmy with Voyager

Wouldn’t that generate a lot of floating particles of asbestos for anyone in the surrounding area?

Maybe I’m being a bit dramatic, yeah, but we’re living in really dramatic times.

we’re never annexing Canada or your minerals

I mean, a lot of people didn’t expect Trump to tear down the American government within months of getting into power either. With Trump stating that he wants to annex Canada “through economic means” and then immediately attacking us with ridiculous tariffs, it seems like he’s following through on that. I don’t think he’ll hurt us as bad economically as he’s hoping though, so I don’t think him declaring actual war on us out of the picture. It honestly seems like he’s already trying to warm his base up to the idea with us being “a national security threat” and “overrun by cartels”.

Idk, just try to picture the POTUS repeatedly saying he’s going to annex your home for months on end, and then try not to get a little bit on edge.

Edit:

America having a civil war [will] make your life as a Canadian objectively worse

Yeah I admit you’re most definitely right about this. It really wouldn’t be a good time

I don’t know if you understand the pettiness and absolute disdain of the idea of being American that Canadians have. I live in Ottawa so I would be in the city that gets nuked if it came to that

I think I’d rather be nuked than be lead by the orange man ngl

Better than the current situation honestly. Both being preoccupied is better than Trump’s admirations of Canadian minerals

Secede and then we can trade :)

I worked in (Canadian) government for a while and we used our desktops as thin clients in a way. That wasn’t the intended use of our desktops but the office internet was just so insanely locked down that nearly every site was blocked. Like trying to watch a YouTube tutorial? Blocked. Trying to read a forum thread to debug something? Blocked. It was stupid.

We all just ended up RPCing into Azure VMs because we’d actually be able to do our work that way.

Not super related but something I think about sometimes lol

I live close to Parliament and I’ve already seen idiots with “F🍁CK CARNEY” flags waving them out front. Theres a few people who never really left after the convoy and I gotta wonder how they have the free time to spend every day out there.

and the rest of the world wants to see: Is there any way they can make a deal?

Naaaah, I’d rather just not deal with the USA at all

You (the sun) have committed a crime

If the rest of the world can reconfigure its trade (which it’s in the process of doing), it’s going to impact the US a lot more than anywhere else.

Looking at that archived Tweet, I forgot what it was like for Twitter responses to not be unhinged

We get our cat groomed a couple times a year and part of it is nail trimming. By the time we get it done sometimes (when we’ve waited too long), she’s getting her nails caught on things and it freaks her out. She has a cardboard scratcher and she continues to claw the couch even when we tell her not to so it’s not like she doesn’t have opportunities to wear them down.

This is how I pronounce it in Canada

I don’t actually know 😅
