Here in Canada we got rid of our pennies years ago. For good reason.
There’s loads of currency denominations we could get rid of. We could probably just do away with the whole idea of fractions of a currency unit and just make everything 1 pound / euro / dollar
In the past a penny used to get you quite a lot, you might be able to have a meal out for a penny but now it’s literally worthless you need at least 50 of them to buy anything reasonable. No one bothers.
The UK used to have half pennies. But then the UK also used to have 144 pennies in 1 pound.

I gather this is imperial system related.
12 is arguably a better arithmetic base than 10 since it divides nicely by 2, 3, 4 and 6 instead of just 2 and 5.
144? It was 240. 12 pence to a shilling, 20 shillings to a pound sterling. https://www.ecosia.org/search?q=predecimalisation pound
Gives me this vibe
Whoever called this funny was lying to you.
Unless there’s a problem on my end, the audio was stripped from this version, unfortunately. It’s much better with sound. The window squeaks match a song.
Ditto. I too am seeing a gif and a silent webm. I will guess it is similar to that one with a mom and a squeaky oven door playing Usher’s “Yeah”.
lol!
I just noticed that @Tier1BuildABear posted a link to the original.
WHY WOULD YOU CUT THE AUDIO!!! IT’S SO MUCH BETTER!!! It’s honestly so dumb and unfunny without it. Sorry for the reddit link
It defaults to muted audio, so hit the speaker icon in the lower right.

I miss that sub 😔.
Even in a quiet community as small as lemmy the incels will come out to hate on anything an attractive woman does. This is actually pretty funny and she seems like fun. Get your “upvoted because boobs” negativity out of here. Believe it or not pretty women can be capable of quality content as well.
