How to explain to Americans: If You remove 3 bullets out of an Gen 4 Glock 26 9mm 12-Round magazine, that’s 1/4. If you remove 4 bullets, that’s 1/3. The police can shoot one more unarmed black man with 1/3 of the magazine than 1/4.
How do you take a round… out? Is this like where I shoot in the air for holidays or gender reveal parties?
No, that’s dangerous. You shoot toward the poor end of town, not just anywhere.
No, the poor Americans will be confused by the inversion.
First removing 1/3 (4 rounds) from a 12 round magazine leaving 2/3 (8 rounds) left … then switching to talking about how a 1/3 full magazine with its 4 rounds has more rounds left than the 1/4 mag with 3 rounds.
They won’t be able to catch on, and are likely to respond with something along the lines of “But the one you took 1/3 out of has just 8 rounds left, and the 1/4 one has 9 rounds left, which is more. The 1/4 one is more.”
Except it’s not true. That was just the excuse A&W made when going bankrupt. No one else had problems selling 1/3lb burgers in the US.
Wasn’t this proven false long ago? Snopes says it’s true. 🤷

Yeah, I would think so. No other restaurant had problems selling 1/3lb burgers. Braums and Carls Jr sling them by the truckload. Almost all the small family restaurants here sell their burgers by 1/3lb 2/3lb sizes. And I don’t exactly live in an area known for it’s high intelligence. So I’m calling shenanigans.
By now it’s already been a meme for a while. That’s how these people learned that the ⅓ was bigger than the ¼.
Yup, A&W sucked because their food sucks. They were great when I was a kid (I loved their frosted rootbeer mugs and onion rings), but they started cutting costs or something because I never went back after the early 2000s or so.
I blame it on this stunt where they merged KFC and A&W, both of which suck.
Also a single quarter pound patty plus fries is already enough food. Perhaps too much.
Depends on the person and their lifestyle. It’s too much food for a 130 pound couch potato. It’s not nearly enough food for a 200 pound bodybuilder, or rock climber.
On average. We all know McDonald’s isn’t exactly catering to bodybuilders.
Speak for yourself cuck. My day starts with a 4:00 AM trip to McD’s to get my body in prime condition for the gym. I’m lifting plates in both locales before you’ve regained consciousness and realized whatever you were dreaming about is going to be the best part of your day.
/s obviously but just in case
The American education system (for my old millennial ass)
“Memorize this. No I will not explain how it works or why. Memorize it take the test and leave me alone.”
Me who is physically incapable of memorizing seemingly arbitrary stuff and needs to understand for it to stick: I guess fuck me then huh? 1/4 pounder it is!
Sounds like you were in the “regular” class. I went to the smart kid class, and they did a much better job of explaining stuff.
Yeah I definitely was. Our regular class of 30 kids in one classroom, one graduation class of 900… The goddamn school was a city of 2,000 kids… Of all those kids, and therefore all those parents paying taxes, we somehow couldn’t afford paper one year. Of my class of 900, 400 graduated. That should tell you something about the shithole I come from lol
If this is real, then you’re poking fun at a mentally deficient American. This may shock you, but we don’t all fit that bill.
I’ll say the same thing to you that I’d say to Donald Trump: Fuck you.
