Dimes are a 10 cent piece so are somewhat metric. Nickel and quite a few others might need some explaining.
how about a meme generator thread...

dimes are a deci-dollar. pennies are a milli-dollar.
Let's look a little deeper ...
Fewer deci-dollars and milli-dollars 1) extend the life-time of the pant pockets that hold the coins, 2) enable the development of smaller coin purses, and 3) reduce the number of collisions of those coins when in a pant pocket.
Nickels (and quarters) are an optimization of the metric system, resulting in cost savings and noise reduction. Let's look a little deeper ...

Correction: Centi-dollars. not milli-dollars. 100 pennies to a dollar.dimes are a deci-dollar. pennies are a milli-dollar.

Non-metric currency would be having something like a 8c coin. Or like the old British pound-shilling-pence model, 12 pence to a shilling, 20 shillings to a point resulting in 240 pence to a pound.

only people who didn't have (or see) the album on vinyl weren't already aware of this >40 years ago
I never had the vinyl, but I remember hearing it for the first time. I was at a friend's house &, like a 1000 other times with 1000 different bands & 1000 albums; "YOU GOTTA HEAR THIS!" (other examples: The Wall. 2112. Van Halen's debut)
when I saw the album cover for the first time: oh, cool... cities fleeing a destroyed earth on top of spaceships shaped like guitars

Nickels are 5 centidollars, dimes are 1 decidollar, quarters are 25 centidollars or 2.5 decidollars.
Reminds me of the start of a bad nerf war.
One guy jumps out of nowhere, declares the Nerf war, threatens to centimate his opponents.
They look at him, puzzled.
He says that he needed something more complete than decimate, so instead of removing a tenth of he adjusted it to remove 100% of.
They respond that he actually threatened to remove a one hundredth of.
He stops for a second and says "then I will... mate ... you? That doesn't sound right, either."

This is a great example of why STEAM is a more thorough education than STEM. The word this math-centered Nerf Warrior was looking for is 'annihilate'.
I thought it might've been 'exterminate'?

First I was happy, cause this is awesome.
Then I was sad, cause I miss the Weird Al glory days.

Dude duct taped to beam is leaning how to control his bladder too. Guessing he is not drinking beer.
that's what you say, but i've gotten in my head only rich, retired old people get into homebrewing.... even though it'd make sense it'd more threads about broke college kids trying to brew in a dorm room?
instead i see shiny 3 vessel electric set-ups....
It's not either/or, but and
And isn’t your liver like 130 years old?
I thought that the process of pickeling was meant to preserve things?
If that is the case I would put his liver into it's early 30's...
