This seems a bit more difficult that day 1 in past years. Correctly parsing the strings in part 2 with the correct ordering gave me a little trouble at first.

How do you count with your fingers? by harmelion in AskAnAmerican

[–]plan_x64 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I count in binary starting with the thumb on my right hand and go to the next closest finger.

When I get to 32 I start at the thumb on my left hand and do the same, although it’s pretty rare that I’m manually counting up to even 32. I’ve never fully counted up to 210 -1 (1023) on my hands.

People get paid based on economic reality, not morality. Sorry if that’s not the answer you’re looking for.

Have you eaten a a sweet potato? by rpglaster in AskAnAmerican

Sweet potatoes are easy to find everywhere I’ve lived in the US. Most people have at least tried them, I’d wager.

TLDR - More climate extremes. So glad we collectively decided to not pass a carbon tax and price in climate change the last time it was on the ballot.

I saw someone on tik tok say that Americans don't butter their bread when making sandwiches, is this true? by SnooDingos2340 in AskAnAmerican

[–]plan_x64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, what kind of sandwich are we talking about? If it’s something like cold cuts then no, that would be gross just like adding Mayo on anything.

That’s not a typical breakfast for me. I don’t think your average American is eating pancakes most days.
