Wait a minute... Does the name of the currency come from payments that were not counted but weighed? Gotta check.
ETA: Oh my gosh yes, one pound sterling (currency) was originally one pound (weight) of sterling silver. I'm probably the last person to discover this, but still that's pretty cool.
you’re one of today’s lucky 10,000
I’m also among those 10,000! Good day to be alive.
We’re 3 of the lucky 30,000
I can feel all the math people dying inside from not reducing that
How much is that after the exchange rate?
Such a wholesome XKCD
What does ETA stand for in this context?
What does TLA stand for in this context?
Beautiful
Fucking hell, lol
CIA = Can't Ignore Ass
FBI = For Better Income
NSA = Not Sucking Anyone
TIL
There are also Extended Three-Letter Acronyms, because e.g. Four-Letter Acronym would be a TLA.
We can go deeper.
Next is the Doubly Extended Three Letter Acronym.
I am one of the 10,000 today.
Never seen it used like that before. Usually just use Edit:
It’s weird when Reddit started shifting from ETA: “everyone’s the asshole” to exited to add.
Idk I guess it’s the kids and their new dang language and hippity hop music
The only thing I can think of is Estimated Time of Arrival.
Huh. I used reddit for about 12 years before switching to Lemmy last year and I don't think I ever noticed ETA. Maybe just different subs used it.
That was only in the "am I the asshole" sub which was a trash fire you were wise to avoid.
FWIW IIRC “ETA” actually= “ESH”, Everyone Sucks Here

If anyone is the last, it's me. Thank you.
You are at worst second to last. You also thought about the possibility first, unlike me.
Neither are you. There's always Ten Thousand on any topic.
