The use of commas instead of periods to denote fractions is making me want to harm someone. What in the fuck are they teaching you in school nowadays.

italy is 3,14 and 1.000,00

welcome to hell

I’m a convert. Comma is the larger symbol which should be used for the more significant delimiter. Comma for decimal, periods for thousands separator.

DIN 5008 superiority!!

[-] bleistift2@sopuli.xyz 3 points 6 days ago

I think the Swiss did it right: Apostrophe for the thousands, which is completely unambiguous, and no-one cares what you use for the decimal point, I mean, comma.

That…that sounds like something someone made up so that the comma-period camps could pause fighting and gang up on a common enemy.

Continental Europeans are a bit weird with this

They are probably just from a country that uses commas instead of periods and they simply forgot that they had to switch those.

I demand to know what country is still trapped in the dark ages. They need to be freedom'd

[-] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago

Freedom'd? Like the small children the USA bombed in Iran? Or the American troops killed in the retaliatory strikes?

[-] ameancow@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

That is indeed the dark humor, if you can't handle it, it's a rough time to be reading the internet at all, most of us can't do much other than laugh through the tears. If you want to just pick a fight, you won't find it here and I suggest you use that energy for something more productive.

I'm not American. You just kind of missed the mark with your version of "dark humour". Mocking children being murdered is just kind of shitty.

[-] ameancow@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

Okay I invite you to block me because again, a lot of people are going to be making dark jokes right now because it's how we cope. I didn't want any of this and I can't stop it.

We don't have much oil so you aren't going to be interested, unless you want to gift us to putin.

[-] couldhavebeenyou@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 days ago

You forget the oil from the olive dear sir

[-] cepelinas@sopuli.xyz 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

We don't really have olives because winters can get to -20C, so maybe I am safe for now. (I mean my home country, but Europe as a whole has some oil, like in the north sea.

italy, not dark ages, just another arbitrary convention
