Canadian couples only have sex doggy-style, so they can both watch the hockey game.

As an added bonus, I can also use my wife's lower back to rest my poutine. She says it provides a nice warming sensation.

[-] MajorMajormajormajor@lemmy.ca 30 points 1 year ago

That way you enjoy your poutine as you enjoy poutine.

[-] DickFiasco@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago

Yo dawg, I heard you like poutine...

[-] vic_rattlehead@lemmy.world 31 points 1 year ago

Followed by X-Files of course.

[-] Aremel@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

They're only mammals after all.

[-] Aggravationstation@feddit.uk 44 points 1 year ago

Football pitches are often for size comparisons here in the UK.

[-] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee 29 points 1 year ago

We use American football fields here in the USA.

Right next to China, Pakistan and Bangladesh. If you head West from North Korea, just take a left after Mongolia!

If I remember correctly, cricket fields don't have a fixed size. Also football is popular enough that people will understand what 'x football fields' is. But mostly we use square kilometres, hectares and so on.

[-] manucode@infosec.pub 18 points 1 year ago

Same in Germany, and, for much larger areas, Saarlands are used as a comparison

[-] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 42 points 1 year ago

Because saying "A square 14m x 14m" is too confusing somehow... I hate when they do it for huge surfaces though, like for forest fires as people don't comprehend big numbers like "100 000 football fields", but they sure can understand that 100km is a long distance so a 100km x 100km square is fucking huge.

Did you see that astroid that was hundreds of lions wide?

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

It weighed the same as the amount of jello ppwder required to make five Olympic swimming pools full of jello.

[-] MajorMajormajormajor@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

No, but I did see the one that was a million antlions across.

Neutral Zone Kush hits hard.

Did someone say turnover? 'Cause I've got the munchies

They should start calling Canadian pre rolls 'one timers'

standard North-American sized

Can we please standardize handling of dashes in multi-word adverb-adjective phrases?

Option 1: North American-sized (most common)
Option 2: North-American sized (as seen in the article)
Option 3: North-American-sized (makes most sense to me)
Option 4: North American sized (Edit: added based on @robocall@lemmy.world's comment)

[-] robocall@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

None of them need dashes. I guess two is my favorite if I have to have a dash.

[-] ArmokGoB@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 year ago

Phrases containing a proper noun should not be hyphenated.

[-] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 2 points 1 year ago

Joke's on you, there is no noun

[-] ArmokGoB@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago
[-] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 4 points 1 year ago

The phrase does not contain the word "America". Look again.

[-] ArmokGoB@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 year ago

You win this round

[-] UlfKirsten@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

Did you just denoune America?

[-] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I see what you did there.

"America" is indeed a proper noun. However, the phrase does not match the Regex expression \b(America)\b, where \b means a word boundary.

Can't even enjoy a sport anymore😮‍💨

On behalf of all Nordic countries, I approve of this.

[-] franklin@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I can't dunk too hard on a country with federally legal weed.

[-] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 year ago

Or just say 14 by 14 meters?

[-] Umbrias@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

The regulation appears to be based on the area of the plot, not the dimensions. By assigning explicitly annotated dimensions it can confuse the intended message more than using a goofy but useful analogy.

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

What a terrible measurement. They have to put in the title and margins the size of the rink just so people can understand it
