Given the free and open source nature of Lemmy, I'd suggest that creating an account to raise a feature suggestion - and in that way contribute - would not be an unreasonable expectation at all, rather than the expectation of having other people who are themselves only volunteers jump through all the hoops for you.

I confess I have a secret love for pom bears, despite my age being long out of the single digits XD
Yeah. Looking at this diagram as a British person it's like the US stuff is our entire selection and none of the alternative brands exist here :(
But maybe I enjoy that.....
(Amazing saying, though)
Same logic, the bra itself as a whole is a chest covering, so like a shirt it's not a "pair"
Not that there always has to be logic in these things, etymology sometimes defies that.
A bra does have a "pair of cups", though!
For some items like glasses it's very clear why they are pairs; if you can have a reading glass (which is an antiquated way to refer to a handheld magnifying lens, for example) then you can certainly have a pair of reading glasses because it's the two pieces of glass which are plural.
For trousers there are no certain answers, but I'd suggest it's very much with with how we conceptualise their function. For 90% of their height trousers are split and cover the legs, of which we have two, only joining right at the top.
For shirts you might think it's the same (two arms right?) but it's a completely different story because the primary function of a shirt isn't to cover the arms but to cover the torso. So it's singular. And gloves of course are distinct, so it's back to pairs.
As a citizen of a former EU country (UK, of course) I think that too.
I'm still salty about Brexit.
It's just not fun anymore.
It used to be kinda humorous in an irreverent way back in the 2000s when Google used April Fools to announce things like the Google Romance search engine, or a facility to archive all your Gmails on printed paper. It was tech making fun of itself.
But these days when the mask is fully off, and we recognise that big tech and social media has been one of the greatest problems the world has ever faced, we're not laughing any longer.
"Temporarily closes" may have been a better headline.
I thought it meant they were shutting for good, which would be pretty ridiculous.
Those few days between jobs are moments of pure joy.
You're finished with all the bullshit of the previous job, and are blissfully unaware of whatever fresh bullshit is waiting for you at the new one.
This is exactly it. By intentionally ensuring the working class live in poverty, this creates desperation, which means people will accept even worse conditions and even less pay to do terrible jobs - and their children, too.
This is simply the next step in what has already been a decades-long strategy of exploitation.
Seabrook crisps immediately take me back to playing on the swings and slides in a pub beer garden on a warm summer afternoon
