    From the makers of FreedomFries and FreedomUnits, it’s FreedomTime! No more worrying about numbers bigger than 12, just stop halfway through the day and start over. For Freedom!

      They named them freedom fries because France wouldn’t step to some fake threat. Just eww.

        Yeah, and in the first place they named them French Fries because it originally came from Belgian 👍

          Just to be “that guy” and in case anyone thought you were serious, they’re called French fries because the potatoes are Frenched (which is the style of cut, eg into sticks), also called Julienned.

      In grade school I put my watch on “military time” because I thought it was cool. As an adult I have my phone on 24 hour time because sometimes you leave the blackout curtains closed and aren’t sure which 3 o’clock it is when you wake up.
