apparently europeans have the impression that US Americans never learn the metric system.
like our science curriculum from day one is entirely done in the metric system. we just don’t use metric in our day to day lives.
yeah actually we kinda just do it for the bit :)
I have had people try to gently and kindly explain to me the workings of the metric system, as if Americans are having trouble with the concept of a base ten system. like no. we get it. we were taught this when we were like eight. it’s just that like. we don’t really wanna do it that way. for the bit.
God i still hate how much they underpowered lightning in tlok. Mako shot a lightningbolt straight at Amon’s chest. That should have killed him instantly. Aang got a bolt shot at him from way further away into his back and he died. Mako was literally inches away from Amon. And don’t come at me with bullshit like “oh Mako made it so his lightning wouldn’t kill him” because why on earth would Mako not aim to kill here?
Honestly the way this show maimed both lightning and metalbending is really annoying. I get it, these skills get perfected over time and more and more people start to train to learn them bla bla bla. I’m still allowed to be pissy about it lol
