    There has been a warning issued for your district, Tom Brady has been sighted. Keep your doors locked and your cups covered.

    If Tom Brady knocks on your door, above all: Don’t reply. Don’t make a sound. Don’t cry, weep or even sweat. Hide, and pray, for he can sense any fluids on your skin.

    We’d like to issue a correction. In our previous story, we’ve stated that Tom Brady can sense fluids on the outside of a person. We’ve received confirmation that Tom Brady has now developed the ability to sense them on the inside as well. May God have mercy on us all, for Tom Brady has none.

    IDK about 37 glasses (how much even is that) but I once got an ambulance ride after downing 9 liters of water in a single 8 hour work shift (I worked a desk job). That definitely fucked up my electolytes a bit.

      a glass is roughly 8 ounce. 1 gallon of water is 128 fluid ounces.

      so 37 glasses is about 2.3 gallons. (about 8.7L). for roundings sake, lets just say 2.5 gallons or 9L worth

        Normal glasses here are 0.25 litters more or less. That’s around 4 glasses a litter.

        37 glasses are 9.25 liters. Rounded down to 9 because people don’t fill their classes to the brim, idk.

        Your numbers scare me.

        Genuinely incapable of understanding how could your education system be so bad with that measurement system!

          because some places don’t realize that imperial units are only used outside of science classes. in science, its all metric for the most part. its not one or the other, its both.

          it’s like the concept of metric time(yes it did exist at some point). It was eventually dropped. regardless if you think its bad, blame the pirates that raided the ship carrying metric measurements to the US

              what were you measuring in middle school of all things, that would warrant using imperial units…

              if you cant look at anything not based 10, I hope you dont handle anything time or computer related

                Was your measurement systems values decided by a drunk dice game?

                1/12->1->3->5280->6080

                Just say that out loud

                  when do you use all of those measurements in the same context is the follow up question.

                  for example, why do europeans still use calories for food. the SI unit for energy is joule. things are decided because “thats what people are used to” . the calorie is not an SI unit.
