Have you also been forgetting to covert votes to metric before you send them?

For reference:

1 upvote = 2.2 nah yeahs

1 downvote = 2.2 yeah nahs

[-] CaptKoala@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago

This conversion has my support.

[-] Zozano@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

For the uninitiated:

  • 2.2 NY = 4.1 Sheet Cants
  • 2.2 YN = 3.8 Dawg Cants

Me realizing I've actually been upvoting Australians this whole time

[-] Veedem@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

This is so incredibly stupid but I love it

[-] gazby@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 year ago

Take my angry Australian upvote 😝 (actually am upvoting because currently in North America)

[-] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

funny how Australia originated as a continent where criminals were banished to.

Hundreds of years later everything has changed and everyone in the world adores Australians.

[-] angrymouse@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Why everyone calls Australia a continent? Not trying to be a dick, I actually wants to understand, I see this frequently.

[-] Stache_@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 year ago

Because it’s both a continent and a country.

[-] angrymouse@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Holy shit I had to google that. My confusion was caused by the fact in Portuguese (at least in Brazil) this same continent is called Oceania. I just discovered a new Continent.

Edit: Seems only the English world use Australia as continent

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oceania

[-] 5too@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Ahh... I've heard of Oceania as a region, I didn't realize it could refer to a continent!

[-] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

When I was 9 years old I learned in elementary school that Australia is both a continent and a country.

[-] angrymouse@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

And you are smart, I'm proud of you

[-] psion1369@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

The land mass is pretty large on its own giving it continent status, but the who of it sits on a single continental plate if my memory serves me right.

[-] Gbagginsthe3rd@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Hahaha that’s hilarious you heard it often but never took them seriously

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago

Can't we just upvote and downvote simultaneously? So that we won't upset anyone?

[-] Neil@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 year ago

I gave you 50 upvotes and downvotes to show support for this idea.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I updownvoted you for that.

[-] AnonWyo@startrek.website 4 points 1 year ago

So the drop bears actually float up?

[-] EfreetSK@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

[-] ForestOrca@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I'm sorry Australia! Please come back. We can be AmerAustralia, together, watching while the other sleeps, as was meant to be.
