Land With Lots of Shrimp wrote:...what have you done. o_O

Made you the land with tons of shrimp.

Are tons bigger than lots? And would these be metric or Imperial tons, as that might make a difference?

Verbal War.

You try and tell Auphelia that Dark Chocolate with mangoes is the supreme flavour of chocolate.

You try that and you'll end up in a shallow grave outside of Kiev, just like all fruity chocolate should be.

Metric is stupid, and I added so many shrimp they practically own all the waterways.

Tons or Tonnes

If the tons are non-metric, are they American or British? That's an even bigger difference!

Drystar you old salt, have some rum.

Metric isn't stupid. It's quite logical to have a clear standardised system that operates on consistent rules.

Official state of landland wrote:Tons or Tonnes

Whilst tonne can, I think, only refer to the metric measurement, ton can refer to either.

Oh, I do hope it has plenty of rainbows and flowers to match your sunny disposition.

I think a ton is more than a lot but less than a whole lot and much more than a bunch.

Yup. With metric units, you always from the larger/smaller units with prefixes that have consistent meanings. And you didn't mention the biggest advantage: metric units are truly universal and international. There are least four different pints still in use for example and the same goes for many of the other so-called "imperial units".

Oh I thought ton referred to the one tonne wasn't

Get used to it, Si. Some men are real pigs and, unfortunately, there are far too many of their species in the world.

But metric is a waste of space, it's convoluted bad and inefficient. The world needs to readopt the imperial system which is universally superior.

I致e yet to see metric use simple addition without the help of an outside source,

I知 also fairly certain metric is illiterate.

Rooster Teeth has a ton of minor politics going on within it's studios and it's glorious. One group steals a microwave from another with the help of Achievement Hunter, but the help from AH was a deception so that they could steal everything of one of the Microwave thieves office stuff.

Auphelia wrote:Tsk, tsk.

You never did get good marks in profiteering and masterminding.

By making it illegal for new penguins to come in or live here, the penguins who are here and have lives here will go to great lengths to stay rather than return to a home they have never been to or have to money or family in. They'll be willing to work for low wages as virtual slaves, unable to resist lest we ship them off. Without money to be able to make a life elsewhere, they become trapped. We then blame all of our problems on their cheap labour driving prices down, making for an easy at-home enemy without making ourselves enemies on the world stage by blaming others for our issues.

With low wages and substandard living conditions combined with more favourable international relations leading to lower tariffs here and abroad, our profits will soar, allowing for short term rapid expansion as we overtake the market until eventually we slow down growth to a more manageable rate to fit the market itself as it grows, having successfully established a virtual monopoly on the pebble and penguin meat markets.

See, no long term planning. If we allow a constant influx of new penguins, we値l be able to keep all the wages low, since the new ones will be willing to work for anything rather then return to their war torn homelands (must recall to make new wars). The demand from the new ones will force the established penguins to accept the lower wages or a short nasty life returning to their homeland. It痴 the classic ploy that enabled Beepee to create his smurf empire.

Hey, you should do the math in acre/feet per hour flow rates. That always forces me to hate peoples

Metric is not convoluted in any way. You can simply use gram, kilogram and milligram, knowing that it's always a different of 1000. I can never remember the conversion between pounds, ounces, stones and tons or what to use when an ounce too large a unit (or when ton is too small - which isn't an issue with the simple prefixes used in the metric system).
A kilometre is simply 1000 metres and a metre is simply 100 centimetres or 1000 millimetres - not 12 inches in a foot, 3 feet in a yard and an insane and illogical number of feet in a mile!
And finally, metric units have a clear relationship with each other as well - for example, a litre (1 cubic decimetre) weighs almost exactly 1 kilogram (the difference is negligible for non-scientific stuff).
