[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 16 points 2 years ago (3 children) Was gonna say, hold my pint (but only after I've drunk it). Also US pints are pussies, they should just switch to metric. Meanwhile UK pints are king. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] lars@lemmy.sdf.org 14 points 2 years ago (2 children) they should just switch to metric Can you imagine a place that uses imperial units next to metric units, in some unholy alliance that’s clearly worse than imperial units alone?

A pint is 375ml, a fifth is 750ml and a handle is 1.75l. Not even mixed - metric volumes with US customary names. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Moderationslog@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago (3 children) Amateure permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Todesschnitzel@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago Wie bitte? permalink fedilink source parent [–] don@lemm.ee 1 point 2 years ago Чего вы говорите? permalink fedilink source parent [+] don@lemm.ee 1 point 2 years ago [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] LemmyIsFantastic@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago It's still a 4% pale ale that tastes like piss though. permalink fedilink source parent
