So, I made a discord server. It's a relaxed environment where you can take/donate memes to the cause, play trivia twice a week, chat about lots of topics or about nothing at all. We also have Jack Box game night and are setting up movie night! Very laid back/relaxed vibe. Come hang with us.

I'm also on the imgcat server for updates & fun:

I've always wondered how many takes they had to do of that scene.

#16 No. Americans are not that stupid. This is a “Russian space pen” situation where the joke has been accepted as fact. The working class uses fractions pretty constantly and is well aware that 1/3rd is bigger. Other restaraunts sell 1/3 lb burgers. The real reason that A&W’s burger failed was it was BAD. It was basically a frozen gas station hamburger, precooked, reheated, and sold at full price.

They literally JUST told you its "Lego", and you've done it wrong immediately.

#9 It should be made clear that since this was originally posted, Dr May has moved into the professional ranks of astrophysicists.
schwaulen
#9 Amateur? Sir Brian Harold May is an actual astrophysicist. He was on his way to a PhD when Queen took off and he got the title afterwards.

#23 Handling the bird like that is making it horny.
TisCass
That poor girl needs help, she's far too horny. That behaviour is only going to make it worse, then you run the risk of egg binding. I sadly lost my budgie, Katsu, to egg binding. It's not a nice way to go :(
TodiPaperDemon
Was searching for this comment. I hate it when I see people on the internet not knowing how to handle pets :/ Birds get stimulated through touch on the back. They get extremely frustrated and tend to get aggressive and or depressed if this behavior is continued. You're edging your parrot, buddy.

#5 the guy who made gifs says its pronounced jif. So I will call them legos, thanks though.

Enjoy eating a bowl of pastas then, while looking out the window at a flock of sheeps.
shorey66
Then you will be wrong for the rest of your life. Only Americans call them Legos, mainly because most Americans are stupid. And you can't argue that, gestures at everything
thebonesofmyancestors
Only Americans? What fucking planet are you living on where you are this disconnected from the human population?

#9 Not an amateur- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_May#Scientific_career
m0problems
He hasn't gotten paid to work as an astrophysicist, so he's an amateur. "Amateur" doesn't mean "incompetent," and besides, amateur astronomers make important discoveries all the time.
OnyxTurret
I usually don't call people with PhDs and publications in their fields as amateurs.
Also, kinda one of the definitions: one lacking in experience and competence in an art or science.
Also also, one could just read the section on his scientific career.
DMSledge
Damn right. With a PHD, Dr Brian May, knows all about the rotation of the planet.
EroticZombiePants
In this case, amateur means you don't do it professionally.

#16 the source for this is a quote from the owner that drove A&W into the ground, because it couldn't be his fault. Seriously, BEFORE the 1/3rd pound burger they had already lost half their franchises and fired 80% of their workforce. If he truly believed that, and it was real, he should have introduced a 1/5th pound burger and killed with it.
banderan
A&W in Canada is still very much alive and well! 🇨🇦
zathmi
Also, A&W food just wasn't as good/popular as other place. It's fine for what it is but was never anyone's first choice.
Feralkyn
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third-pound_burger It IS true, though. It's widely studied and reported on. Introducing a 1/5th lb burger would've been funny but I'm sure wouldn't work in the long run; regardless, it is a true fact. People genuinely thought the 1/4 was larger.
BoatsNGoats
Yeah... Couldn't have anything to do with the fact that there was over 6 times the amount of McDonald's already in the 80s or the fact that A&W limited itself to certain states
Badprenup
Limiting yourself to certain areas isn't necessarily a bad thing, quite the opposite really. If you spread too far, too quickly things can spiral out of control and collapse very quickly. In fact, that's partly what happened to A&W, they tried to expand to Japan in the 70s and lost a lot of money doing so.
That and a string of mismanagement issues, and a lawsuit all caused a huge decline in the late 70s to 1981, before the company was sold to the guy who tried to market the 1/3 pounder burger.
dohcohv
Before the 80s A&W had more franchises than McDonalds. They drove the company into the ground, pushed out franchises, then by the mid 80s when it was circling the drain they introduced the 1/3rd lb burger. It wasn't enough to turn the company around. Of course the owner blamed the customers, because it couldn't be THEIR fault.
A&W was also failing outside the US in the 80s as well, so it wasn't just US customers being idiots.
Badprenup
From what I can see of the quote, the guy it came from, and other surrounding context, he doesn't lay any blame on the customers for the business doing poorly as a whole. He's only talking about why that product didn't do well with focus groups.
In the ~13 years he owned the company, he actually did a good job at fixing many of the problems that existed prior to him buying it and stabilizing it overall. The company probably would have died before 1990 if he hadn't bought it.
glenlochie
There are 3 A&W's within a half hour drive of me. All of them have righteous Teenburgers.
dohcohv
They closed both that were near me.

When I first got my car, every date ended with teenburgers and mugs of root beer @ A&W

#5 Thanks for the Legos, but we'll take it from here.
PineappleLoopsBroether
EXACTLY. When I was a little kid, and I told my friends to come over to play with my toys, I woulda sounded real weird if I said I have lots of Gi Joe, Star Wars Action Figure, Dominoe, Marble, and Water Baloon. It's fucking LEGOS.
Simsalasizzle
I like the idea that with an adjective you could stuff like legoier, legoiest, legoly,... "Oh, you built that very legoly", "this house is legoier that the house over there, which is too blue bricky"

The reason behind this is, that if it becomes a common use word, they no longer have a trademark. Xeroxing something for example.

It's like the rules of Uno.
zombiejedediah
Unos.
peeopeepeee
Yep. Like I'm sorry that it technically isn't correct, but humans are always going to find the simplest way of talking and Legos wins out over any two word workaround.
shorey66
Bloody Americans! Always dumbing everything down. IT'S LEGO! IT'S NOT DIFFICULT
spartanatreyu
Man, I just love building lego castles out of legos and sand castles out of sands.
Psst. The reason why this doesn't work in your brain is materials (e.g. wood, concrete, lego, sand, etc...) have singular plurals, so the image is correct.
TheOneWhoSucks
But the entire point is that its singular and plural in any context and you are unnecessarily adding an extra letter. Your logic is flawed by your own argument and you're still wrong.
peeopeepeee
It would require me to remember yet another fancy word with special rules instead of just adding an s like most every other word, so it's extra work. No flaw, just a misunderstanding on your behalf.
If it requires active work to correct, then it's already too much for me to care and thus will just keep it's current method of speaking.
RedTwoX
I always tried to teach my boys: It's not their job to interpret what you're saying, it's your job to be clear expressing what you mean. That stated, whether or not it would be marked "correct" on a grammar test, I'm fairly confident most people are going to understand what you mean when you say "Legos". Now, we're still going to judge you, but we'll understand.
GigiDundas
If I go to Denmark and I'm speaking danish then their rules apply. I speak english, a language quite well known for coopting words from other languages and using them however we want. Here in the US legos is the correct pluralization because that's how we all use it and we all know what you mean.
leviking
I also think it should be Legos.... until I heard your sorry ass reason about how special the US are and that you don't play by the rules.
GigiDundas
I never said we dont play by the rules dumb ass, I said we take words from other languages and make them fit the rules of the fucking language we're speaking. That's how languages evolve, and it's very especially how modern english ( spoken in a lot more countries than just the US you ignorant cunt) evolved and developed. Also there's a "law of common usage" meaning if enough people use a word "wrongly" it becomes the right way to use that word. Take your dumbass xenophobic trash elsewhere twat
leviking
Seems like i pUShed your buttonseseseses
GigiDundas
Bitch please, my favorite thing to do on the internet is tell dumb fucks theyre being dumb, I get excited for the opportunity to sling justified insults at ignorant twats that have no clue how anything actually works in this world. Now I'm going to block you and continue my lovely day. Bye now.
