  I noticed that they often use stones in the news when talking about weight loss. (ex. 1, 2) May be a regional/generational thing.

  In Hungary “dekagram” is the default unit when buying food from actual humans at a deli counter or market. Asking for 30 deka of cheese sounds like a more human-scale number than asking for 300 grams.

  Though it’s interesting that hecto would be even better for this, as we always use deka in 10s (or at least 5s), so we could just ask for 3 hectograms of cheese for an even more human-scale number :)

  I’ve seen this photo used in memes since, and it’s weird to think that the poor dude is probably just some random stock photo model who now became famous as the face of “the worst person you know” 😅
