@Troglodytarum Maybe it's different now, but I graduated HS in 2011 and we technically learned the metric system, but it isn't something we really used or understood in a physical, personal way

I hate the way we measure things and refuse to use it on principal; I will force other people to look up things I say just so they have to learn it.

@Selove98 Zero is extremely cold? Ah, well, it depends on where you live. Zero is cold if you live south of the Mason-Dixie, but in the North, well, three years ago I moved from CA to MN and felt -60°F for the first time and my brain didn't even know how to process it.

Asians eat bread. We eat a lot of bread. Wheat isn't as popular in China and Japan because there isn't a lot of arable land relative to the population and rice produces the most calories/acre of all crops. It also happens to be the most labor-intensive of these kinds of crops and guess what China and Japan have a lot of: people. In Europe and North America, land is cheap and labor is (less) expensive, so rice is not dominant because it would cost more to produce. Well, this is specific to the USA where we can grow pretty much anything—it's a big country.

@VeNuS2910 Bruh, have you looked at America on a map? It span four time zones and includes every biome except tropical rainforest, taiga, and tundra. Just speaking about sun, we have the California Valley, Florida, the entirety of the Midwest. Pretty much everything in the middle is just massive industrial-scale farming operations. Bruh, nobody farms like we farm.

@SecuR0M Fantastic point, fam. The one area that rice really dominates, though, is calories/acre, which is probably why it is the dominant cereal crop in Eastern Asia; land is expensive and labor is cheap.

@MovingOndaisy It's not really rice; idk how distantly related it is, but they can't be substituted for eachother at all. And we call them "Natives." It gets confusing when you live in a city with lots of Indians and Native [Americans].
