On the kid with the SNES pic...I might point out from experience that they were saying that about consoles back then, too...and complaining about video game violence.

Yes, because electric cars have batteries that can discharge back into the grid at peak hours, and charge in off-peak hours. Time shifting is a big deal, and everyone who has contemplated the duck graph for a minute knows this.

This is what I hate about Facebook: people who think they are smarter than experts because conclusions are non-obvious. Adding an emoji does not make it funny, either.

The marketing copy just makes these even better:

Officially become the world’s most gorgeous person in Coddies Lobster Slippers.

Is there anything cooler than someone wearing seafood on their feet? Decadence, class... these crustacean creepers say it all. In an eye-catching shade of red, they are guaranteed to add that perfect finishing touch your outfit is lacking.

Slip them into the hands of your sole-mate and ask them “will you be my lobster?”

Get your claws into these divinely comfortable lightweight slippers and you’ll be the talk of the tank at any occasion. These are not some puny little prawns or common crab shoes, these are premium-grade Lobster Thermidor, baby. Enough said.

FEATURES

? Premium-quality lobster style
? Lightweight, elasticated material makes these the comfiest shoes ever
? No prawns allowed
? Anti-skid and highly resistant
? Comes wrapped in Coddies™ gifting paper

Of course, it's cheaper to get them off Amazon, though those aren't gift wrapped by default, and while finding anything specific on Alibaba is a pain in the skidplate I'd expect they're between 25-30% cheaper still if you managed it there.

Metric measures are divided in 10ths, not 16ths. All you'd teach youngsters with them is how to shift the decimal place over.

[classicdrogn]

Still a practical life skill, though, along with being able to help visual learners figure out what that silly business of one number over another actually means. And to be able to visualize "well, that's close to a third" (or half, fourth, fifth, etc.) when presented with various decimals, or the reverse.
