16:15 For people with anxiety: keep in mind that this doesnt always work. It helps to bring you back to reality, but remember; anxiety works differently for EVERYONE and anxiety never works logically. This does usually help calm you down, but it depends on how your anxiety works and how severe the attack is. Every coping mechanism works differently for everyone; it takes trial and error to figure out which works best for you. I found it often also helps to find out the trigger (if there is one; sometimes there isnt, since again, anxiety does not work logically). I once had an anxiety/panic attack because of a teacher of mine and doing this didn't help calm me down. Like I said, it depends on the severity. Hyperventilating often makes it worse as well and can make you light headed, so try to control your breathing as well as you can (it's okay if it's not perfect; it's hard to control anything in that situation, especially if you're hyperventilating.) -A teen with 2 anxiety disorders

[@sylvrwolflol]

On the flip side, the most effective way to calm someone _else_ is by: -making your presence known without touching, speaking loudly, or making quick movements -gentle affirmation if they start babbling, nothing committal and _no giving unsolicited advice_ -saying that you're here, you're not going to leave, it's okay. -If they request for you to leave, respect their wishes. Check back in later with comfort food or something similar, give them at least 5-10 minutes. From an adult who has similar problems, and has had a lot of time to learn on both sides of the equation.

Thank you for this - a teen also with 2 anxiety disorders

[@fluffystuff500]

I've found that grounding only helps me when the cause of the anxiety attack is a "what if" situation with no basis in my current circumstances. If it's something that's happening right now, or just happened, it doesn't work. Because the event is/was a part of reality, being brought back to reality doesn't do anything for it in my case. Thank you for clarifying that it doesn't always work for everyone. A lot of people will see one mental health tip and apply it to a situation where it doesn't help, which just stresses them out more.

It is instead based around how it feels outside in a sort of percentage based system.

In defence of Fahrenheit: the zero point was when a specific salt-water solution freezes. I believe Celsius was the classic example of building on what coma before. In that case they made the scale go from 1 to 100: instead of marking the scale first, then measuring secondary reference temperatures.

[@Sylfa]

Celsius has the references being at 0 - fresh water freezes - and 100 - fresh water boils at sea level. In other words, things that are literally happening all the time. What's the use of knowing that X salt into Y water freezes at 0? How often are you freezing saline solution in day to day life?

[@economicprisoner]

@@Sylfa Whenever I want to use a cooler to move frozen instead of refrigerated goods.

[@Sylfa]

​@@economicprisoner Okay? So you want to know that it just barely reaches frozen, instead of just freezing it as cold as you can get? Most freezer packs around here don't use X:Y brine mixtures, and the important limit tends to be if the freezer went above freezing, ie 0°c since that's when it's ruined. When is it ruined with farenheit?

[@amnix5190]

"cus, cis-c-c- cus- crusty monk!" Best quote by jack so far

The only part of the imperial system I get is Fahrenheit because it's about how warm or cold it feels rather than the temperature at which water freezes/vaporizes, 0ºF is the coldest day you could imagine and 100ºF is the hottest day you can imagine, with celsius you don't get that immediate feedback on the temperature outside, like, you see 24ºC but you think "Huh, really? Today feels kinda like 30-ish" even after growing accostumed to celsius and learning to use it my whole life

(as opposed to 20 grams of flour v.s. 20 grams of blueberries, which looks pretty different) in other words, a lot of it is just general convenience of not NEEDING to pull out a scale or a thermometer or a measuring stick. yes, it makes doing exact math suck, and i DO think we should be using the metric system for exact maths, but for every day use the imperial system honestly ain't that bad. it strikes you as inconvenient because you're not used to it and the numbers come out weird. but it ain't ABOUT the numbers, it's about how useful it is to your local hillbilly with shitty internet and no kitchen scale.

5:55; what it's like bringing up God around an atheist

[@mgutierrez6762]

The reason America has it around the imperial system is because of Britain and by the time we were given the notice we had completely built our infrastructure around the imperial system

5:04 ah yes… this is why I am atheist.

[@Humanresouces]

Is it because he is evil, weak, stupid, or not real? Anything goes. I don't judge.

that whistle guide is actually useful - I started to make a small amount of sound right when my hands began to hurt from trying to figure out how to hold them.

[@PanthereaLeonis]

I made a loud, super obnoxious sound on the third try! I... don't wanna try again, because I'm fueled by 20% notalgia and 80% anxiety, and I have other people I share a building with.

As an Aussie I must agree. Keep the detention centres out of our conversations.

Americans have it set up like that because it requires a lot of working together to change it and there's more important things to work on. When I was in elementary/grade/primary (last century) school the teacher told us it was because the old people are too set in their ways and refuse to change.

I thought at first this was r/coolamericafacts and was wondering why the memes had no second part asking us to google something.

Baby on board stickers aren’t just so you drive safer around them. It’s also for first responders who go to a a car crash it tells them to check for a baby

Well back in the 70s the united states passed the metric conversion act and created a special administrative board to control the transition for school curriculums, Road signs, and Gasoline infrastructure among other things. The board had little real power but could examine facts and determine the best course of action. It's important to note that the conversion program was stipulated as voluntary in the act and there are some industries that did transition to the metric system though they tend to be internationally geared industries like trade and the sciences and manu consumer goods have both netric and standard measures on them. In the end the metric board was disbanded in 1981 after being largely ineffective. I am by no means an expert in this particular aspect of US history. I imagine that the problem came in trying to convince the states, congress cant really force the states to comply without abusing 2 specific clauses in the constitution and if the metric board was being unproductive then it makes sense for it to be dissolved.

Fun fact: planting a few native plants is even less maintenance than grass for your yard, unless you are in an area that is a natural grassland (and then there’s native grasses). But legally you’ll probably have to mow it about weekly anyways so why not just sow some groundcover plants that don’t grow to just whatever height is possible to reach without collapse like grass, but only a couple inches high?

21:55 certain... offshoots of anime have unfortunately taught me about this Asian tallying system... and not for a good educational reason...
