It was invented by some scottish guy long before we had the means to measure things that would need it, and ever since that multibillion-dollar satellite thing fell to pieces even American scientists use metric units, we learn them in every grade level’s science class and our scientific community has this understandable atmosphere of regret that Congress was too lazy to completely kill off imperial units when they had the chance

Ah I see, I should’ve worded that paragraph better

I live across the sound and slightly downhill from the nearest one I could see

That was also the case with Cities Skylines and Paradox. They never fixed the one-lane-only bug, or the one where hospitals kill patients sending ambulances to a home on the other side of the city that’s up a steep hill 6 map tiles away, having to go through downtown intersections that cycle 2 ambulances per green.

I hear some horny teens have tried to use switch joycons for that because of how small and thin they are

Yeah, discs are still a thing for Xbox and PS5, steam decks just download these really big folders for each game’s files to your SD card like our PCs do and the Switch has its tiny cartridges you keep in a little box in your carrying case like previous nintendo handhelds.

Of course it’s a flop, it’s Bethesda. Not particularly known for their quality control

On the rare occasion that I have the time, I sometimes play Stellaris. (I’ve never played till the end though, I couldn’t sustain attention THAT long, especially given all the BS they keep doing to the game mechanics so often it makes strategizing impossible in the long run unless you dedicate your life to the game.)

Yeah, archaeologists have found evidence of women timing them with groups of 28 scratches on stone- perhaps trying to conceive?
