Binary prefixes are stupid and unnecessary. Yes, I know “kilo” means 1000, not 1024, I don’t care because it’s obvious from context. RAM manufacturers know what’s up - I’ve never seen the word “gibibyte” or “GiB” written on a stick of RAM.
I also hate these stupid bandwagon pet peeves:
Pineapple on pizza is great and if you disagree you don’t have to eat it.
There’s nothing inherently gross about the word “moist”.
i was going to tell you to close the damn door, but then i remembered how i open doors for the stupid cat even when there is a cat flap he can use. and the other cat has figured out door handles so we had to put knobs on the exterior doors.
I agree with you on the pet peeves, but when it comes to binary prefices, I am always in favor of clarity in communication instead of leaving things up to context clues and interpretation (aka assuming everyone thinks the same way)

I was with you until the last one. Anyone who doesn’t put their toilet paper in the holder vertically is an idiot.
You don’t punch a hole through it so you can put it horizontally? For shame.
You had me with the first half, ngl
Unless you have cats.
Both my cats have never given a single fuck about my TP. Am I just lucky?
Said cat is in my lap this moment, and any time the TP was installed wrongly she’d run amok – for 15 years.
