A thing I love is USAians trying to justify all prices in a store being shown without tax with "well, you'd need different shelf labels in every store because the taxes are so different everywhere! that would be impossible!"

When anyone needs a shelf label, they go and print one out

It's not hard

ISO 216 is a much better standard than the quite frankly bizarre and illogical crap the USA uses as a standard

"Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime retires, Bowser named new president" is a much more fun headline if you don't know there's a bloke called "Doug Bowser"

@maple *sends lots of octo-hugs and nice vibes*

I've been told that I could run a modestly successful stall at a craft fair selling these and various other things wot I make out of dead tree

ironically I really don't have the spoons for such an endeavour

makin more spoons

@maple HAPPY BIRFDAY!

@Jo ah, that would have been my second guess

@Jo I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say DHL
