The US-defaultism that happens on the internet is very annoying
Yeah, it's especially annoying when you live in a different English speaking country. I don't give a shit about your pounds in the chicken recipe.
That's right! Put dollars in the chicken recipe!
Anyway that's my two cents.
Let’s say 2/100 of your country’s primary monetary unit. No reason to be US centric.
Pounds mass or pounds force? 😅
Freedom! Pounds of Freedom!
I added 3 tbs lead but it tastes kinda funny
Do you plan on cooking in space?
And cups, and spoons…
Yeah, wtf is a cup of butter?
So refreshing on a cold day…
The US! Oppressing everything else in the world since...the beginning!
Damn americans, they ruined america!
I immediately became a bit upset when I read this post and realized US defaultism was going to happen on lemmy too now. Very annoying thing.
You guys are nuts if you let it bother you.
Literally makes no sense.
You don't have to share the view of others, but can you understand how claiming generic names like 'bears' and 'politics' for something regional is annoying? Bears and politics exist in other countries, too.
No, I don't care at all. If I want to speak to Romanians, I go on r/Romania, r/RoCasual, etc. etc.
We are only 20 million people. Americans are 330 million, and its an English speaking site. I don't expect to see Romanians catered to in any way what so ever in the generic subs.
I'm just dumb and forget the world wide web is, well, world wide haha. I just live in my own little bubble sometimes but i'm trying to be better about not blindly assuming the folks i interact with on here and other places are from the US
