Do you have trouble communicating metric sizes to Americans?

If so, I have you covered!

I wrote this simple app where you type in a size (e.g. 1.2 meters) and it will output more useful units, e.g. "It is almost exactly the length of 7 medium-size bananas"

still don't understand what is the social point, what you are trying to communicate, by only liking a post on which someone has asked a question and asked for boosts on

"hey how do i do xyz?" "haha great post man"

this is almost worse than people liking my suicidal posts

The UK is going great

One could imagine even a fork of NetSurf with this only intent. Just rename it as SmolWeb browser + add an option to show just all the crap that was ignored. With a percentage of data used for actual content. “Site is 76% crap”.

Then you can imagine an opt-in search engine where owner enables indexation by having some smallweb tag in the code and submitting link to a form so the crawler can get a look and eventually refuse / abort at the first JavaScript tag.

Maybe these should come back,
except instead of
“this page best viewed in”
it should say
“this page still fucking works with”
