Finnish? I had something called leipa juusto in Finland and it was a very interesting experience

As an asexual I'm willing to share purple with any other cool people. Keep loving purple :3

I'm still looking for my childhood CDs/DVDs that somehow got lost in my parents' binders and are now possibly lost to time. I love keeping them in the case so I can admire the album art and possibly the booklet before listening

Yeah as long as they stay outside of the restricted areas (near bed or chairs) they get to stay. There's a spider in my bedroom that's been there for months in the same spot. Right next to the balcony door.

My logical brain vs the part of the brain that's actually in charge. I wish the logical part of the brain won more often

Miauw miauw :3

As an asexual person this anology is very confusing

Possible, but at least in my experience most normal people know 1/3rd and understand what it means, but if I'd throw a "point three repeating" at them they'd probably get confused. Fractions are just a tool to communicate stuff more efficiently, good in some scenarios, confusing in others. It would be cool if we could teach everyone the "repeating" syntax as well because it's another useful tool.

I'm also Dutch so I don't have the answers about the imperial system haha

Pls don't attack me like this :3

In many cases that's fine, I've done so regularly. But when you want to be precise without making it complicated you can just say the fraction as well. But in order to do that you need people to feel comfortable with it, therefore we need to teach kids this from a young age. I'm not saying we always need them, but they're definitely very useful tools that you want at the ready when you need them. To make quick calculations in your head it's often way simpler to use the fraction than the real number. And in cases like 1/3rd or 3/7ths it's a way simpler, accurate and more efficient way to communicate the number than to name the rounded number.

Imo fractions are way more simple in many cases than decimal numbers. Saying 1/3rd is way more useful than hitting someone with the 0.33333333333333.... Quick mental computations with fractions are also simpler in this case. Though this question (and questions like it) seem useless to me indeed.
