It is a long standing thing. Or if you prefer why do you think GBA, DS and 3ds games were sized in megabits which nobody uses when megabytes are there and far more usable? A) It stems from the 8 and 16 bit eras where magazines would often list them.
Nah you should read the topic, it's hilarious.

I did want to do a in memory of 2017 thread, still might.

Anyway I am not sure that thread is quite golden yet... it lacks a certain something. There is potential but enough people acting as carbon rods and the premise is not quite enough by itself to send it over the edge -- nobody much cared when the folks at gbadev did not much care for it, best we got for the DS was when one of the DS devs made an unreleased ROM dumper after a slight protocol change (Rudolph's dumpers would not appear for a little bit and we were otherwise stuck on , waninkoko vs team twiizers on the wii was amusing but ultimately amounted to nothing other than waninkoko upping his game (there was a bit to criticise there), 360 wise nobody cared much when JTAG was hobbled before it began (we were told don't do the August update that year, it would be end of the year before it got good), PS3 wise geohot was already an interesting subject but again nobody cared, 3ds wise the best we saw was smea being accused of ruining pokemon for revealing the legendaries prior to Nintendo officially doing it. See also various people arriving and saying "whoa, look at all this drama" and having the immediate response of "what drama?", which is most of what people dub drama these days (a pity as I want some).

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
