wtf is your image talking about? ml??
is that moonspeak?

>>12301509
are americans still too dumb to use metric measurements?

>>12301500
Because most of the portion is actually filler just to make it look like you get your money's worth, but isn't actually meant to be consumed.

>>12301500
We have to work hard at maintaining our 40% obesity rate.

>>12301500

I know how many fluid ounces are in a gallon, but you know who doesn't?
All my fucking friends and family.

Metal shop owner
Software engineers
Elementary school teachers
Convenience store owner

None of the above retards have been able to answer "how many fluid ounces are in a gallon" without googling

Please let us abandon this joke of a system.

The hangover of a rural agrarian heritage. Until the 20th Century a lot of America was farms and a lot of Americans worked on family farms. People doing physical labor all day long can burn 3500+ calories in a day, so meals were BIG. Those who weren't eating big meals were wishing they could. Among farm people being stingy with food (when not economically necessary) was seen as awful, almost sinful. Also the Depression was so bad people were starving to fucking death just a couple generations ago. Put the fear of that together with a history of farm style eating and you have people drawn to excess. If you look at where obesity is at its worst in this country it's the places that were agricultural a couple generations ago.

>>12301500
Because the government, the food industry, and our own selfish pride have made us into an experiment in gluttony, which will never end because the past several generations have been trained to be gluttonous and consume way more than we need.

I'm sure there are certain places and foods that they do really big portions where they shouldn't, but I don't realize what's the problem with big cups of soda in fast food or big fries or shit like that?I order Coke Zero if I go to a fast food place and I'd much prefer to have the large US one and if I'm already pigging out and eating fast food I'll have a fucking large order of fries
Maybe the problem is that retards think the reason they get fat is big portions of fast food and not that junk fast food is an everyday meal?

>>12301585
the single-box symbol is undefined, so there's no answer

inb4 it's just half of the double-box symbol. Why assume that and not square root of the double-box?

>>12301613
>inb4 it's just half of the double-box symbol. Why assume that and not square root of the double-box?
Because that's not a recognised and clear algebraic syntax you mouth breather. It can only be understood as a visual representation i.e. two lots of fries.

what's the difference between the small and the large plus symbol

>>12301559
well usually you don't have a need to measure out a gallon of fluid in oz increments.
usually it's either quarts or pints in a gallon which everyone knows.

Why are foreigners proud of paying more for less?

>>12301715
Because they understand a concept that's lost on Americans when it comes to food: quality.

Do people not just learn both? I don’t think I even learnt the imperial system in school, I just picked it up probably from my dad. I think I use inches more than anything.

>>12301500
1.3 liters?? wtf haha!

A huge soda at a fast food place is to make you feel like you get a lot for your money.

same people who think you use apostrophes for plurals. Education was intentionally flushed down the toilet in the last 15 years or so, the masses need to be kept stupid and thinking of politics in binary fashion

the system is a joke because your family hasn't memorized the conversion to your preferred system... smart cookie.

>>12301585
10, issa value meal

>>12301585
so the reason they do double fries in the middle and then a single at the bottom is to deliberately trick people and throw off answers, right? So that everyone argues about some dumb shit?

>>12302211
No, the point of this image is to show that zoomers were educated wrong and don't know what PEMDAS is

there aren't "two ways" there is PEMDAS math only functions in one way. There aren't variants.

>>12302220
so you missed what I said right. I wasn't even talking about the order of operations. I was talking about the way the fries are represented.

>>12301585
This is not possible to solve, because we have an unknown variable in the last equation. Every other answer is invalid.

>>12302032
Because these studies put 250lbs and 500lbs people in the same category. Sure these countries may have the same amount of people who are above normal weight but they have nowhere near the same number of absolutely huge fatasses compared to the US. Unfortunately there aren't any very current studies showing the average body weight by country but in 2011 US had the most, especially the women (168lbs vs 152lbs for second place UK)

>>12302028
The only acceptable answer. I was being told order of operations isn't taught in schools anymore.

soda+soda+soda=30
10+10+10=30

soda+hamberder+hamberder=20
10+5+5=20

hamberder+two french fries+two french fries=9
5+2+2=9

hamberder+1 order of french fries(MULTIPLIED)x soda= 60
5+1x10= 60
5+1=6
6x10=60

If you learned Order of Operations in school. Then you can say 15.
1x10=10
10+5=15

>>12302296
>Because these studies put 250lbs and 500lbs people in the same category

They are in the same category. They're obese.

The US does have the most super-obese people, but Mexico, Saudi Arabia, and UK, same usual suspects, are also closing rapidly in that regard.

>>12302170
The point is that most families don't. And the fact that you even need to memorize it makes it inconvenient and thus inferior

>>12302317
think outside of yourself for 15 seconds. Most families don't know the conversion from gallons to ounces because they operate in one system or the other. Calling one inferior to the other because the conversion isn't written out for you is asinine.

>>12302317
>>12301559
Here's a thought: Most people don't know the conversion from gallons to ounces because it's utterly fucking useless. When in a million fucking years does anybody need to know that? A gallon is a known quantity, nobody is haphazardly converting into or out of it with any regularity. When you're cooking everything turns into cups or quarts, and people know 4 quarts to a gallon. You're complaining about the equivalent of converting centimeters into kilometers. Yeah you can do it but why would you? It's impractical.

>>12301662
the large one is the American one

>>12302333
its only become worse since....

>>12302416
How is this not a bigger discussion in America? This is a MASSIVE crisis.

>>12302439

>>12302439
>How is this not a bigger discussion in America?
Because red states are the worst in this regard so bringing it up causes people to flip out and think it's all Jewish liberal psy op Fake News

>>12302500
No, it's because no one cares. Fatties are either gonna find the willpower to lose weight or will remain blissfully ankle deep in fast food. And everyone else pretty much doesn't give a fuck. Nice zoomer perspective, though.

>>12302439

>>12302439
It's one of a myriad national emergencies that are far more dire than the one our orange bone spur declared, but they don't fuel the underlying hatred to galvanize mouthbreathers. Plus l'orange is himself obese with a 30+ BMI, the fattest president since Taft, so go figure.

>>12301549
wrong picture faggot

>no more Super Size at McDonalds
>no more Biggie Size at Wendy's
I miss it bros, sometimes you just want to fuck your shit up with a mass portion of fries
Sure you could pay more and get two larges, but it just ain't the same

>>12301773
Everyone knows both it's just a skub/anti-skub thing

>>12302375
>knowledge is useless
How hard is it to know there's 4 quarts to a gallon, 32 ounces to a quart, and 4*32=128 ounces in a gallon? "Muh base 10" is no excuse to suck at basic math or memorization of something that takes 10 seconds to learn.

>>12302416
It's weird. I love good food and cooking, but I'm not obese. These lard tubs are shovelling cheap processed shit down their gullets for the inferior gustatory pleasure, and the convenience of doing it with minimal effort.

Soda gives like 1000% margins so it doesnt matter how large the portions are.

>>12301500
DO AMERICANS REALLY ???????

>>12302534
I used to hold this ideology too, anon. However, you have to realize that the morbidly obese can (and do) still breed. Their children then grow up to be just as fat and lazy as their parents.

>>12301989

>>12301989
lol thank you anon, i got a good chuckle out of that

>>12301500
Because they fill the cup with 2/3 ice

>>12303350
This. If you remove hispanics from the population, the US BMI average is the same as Europe's.

>>12302333

>>12303735

>>12301549
Because it's usually 50% ice.

>>12303473
>5+2+2=9
Look again dumbass, there's a pair of 2 cartons of fries in that line, meaning that 1 carton = 1. 5 + 1 x 10 = 15 due to BODMAS.

>>12303350
as a beaner, this is true

>>12302315
anyone over 6'2 being 250lbs is not obese, just slightly over normal weight.

>>12302375
>centimeters to kilometers

kek, a fourth grader could do this conversion my dude, using this as your example simply proves how dumb you mutts are.

Corporations want you to get addicted to sugar so they up your intake.

I never drink soda and whenever I get ice cream I always ask for the childrens size

>1300 ml
This can't be true

>>12301585
Friendly reminder that PEMDAS is not an actual standard, and people are encouraged to write unambiguous equations instead

>>12303051
I cannot wait for the stuck in a bathtub news article.

>>12304307
they get a free refill too

>>12302032
They literally don't faggot. You appear to be confused by, at least in the case of the UK, an article talk about how it had the fastest *increase* in rates of obesity (in western europe), with it having the highest *absolute* levels of obesity.

Saudi arabia is close to america, although not as far as I'm aware higher. Some pacific islands are though. Top 25 fattest nations :

Nauru
Cook Islands
Palau
Marshall Islands
Tuvalu
Niue
Tonga
Samoa
Kiribati
Micronesia
Kuwait
United States
Jordan
Saudi Arabia
Qatar
Libya
Turkey
Egypt
Lebanon
United Arab Emirates
Bahamas
New Zealand
Iraq
Fiji
Bahrain

Honestly do you really think the UK could somehow have a near 50% increase in obesity rates in a mere few years? I know the american education system hasn't helped, but try to use your brain

>>12303879
>BODMAS
What the fuck? I thought PEMDAS was universal. This has blown my mind.

>>12302439
because most americans, when its brought up will instantly screech "nuh uh other countries are worse, look at them silly europoors, they're probably rigging their statistics".

Same as when you mention the healthcare system.

The instinctive desire to believe other places have it worse, and the instinctive repulsion to looking up the data is a nasty combo

>>12302375
>>12303237
>>12302170
Everybody should know that there are:
8 floz in a cup
2 cups in a pint
2 pints in a quart
4 quarts in a gallon

But nobody does. It's not even hard really, but probably 1 in 10,000 knows. You know what's even easier that most Americans already understand anyway?
1000mL = 1L

>>12301663
You'd be surprised at how many people have no clue about how pints relate to anything

10 + 10 + 10 = 30 (McDonalds Cup = 10)
10 + 5 + 5 = 30 (Burger = 5)
5 + 2 + 2 = 9 (2 Boxes of fries = 2, 1 Box of fries = 1)
5 + [1 x 10]
5 + 10
15
The answer is 15
Anything else is wrong

>>12301564
wow so you pay 2 whole euros for only 50ml of soda?

>>12301585
3x=30
x=30/3
x=10

2y+10=20
2y=20-10
2y=10
y=10/2
y=5

2z+5=9
2z=9-5
2z=4
z=4/2
z=2

xz+y=?
(10)(2)+(5)=?
20+5=25

The answer is twenty five.

Stop making American education look bad by posting dumb frog images.

>>12304850
Factory work prep camp was a terrible ordeal that robbed me of a childhood. It's bad enough to the point where a frogposter makes no difference

>>12302439
not saying this is what's happening or that obesity isn't an big issue but when corrupt government agencies like the CDC put out alarming statistics you should take it with a grain of salt. When the claim sounds too good to be true a lot of the time it is, they expand their definition of the word (just for this example) "obesity" to be able to get larger proportional data to fit the inference they already have decided they wanted to make before the study is even conducted. This is always used to justify increased funding to the organization "solve the problem" that wasn't really there in the first place.

>>12304859
>Factory work prep camp
What does that have to do with American education? If there's anything wrong with education in America it's that they aren't trained for the jobs that are actually available. Dropouts who work in factories often make more than people 100K in debt with a BA.
