@ranjit Good, but the down button is an unnecessary complication.

@ranjit 108.6

@ranjit anything to avoid using the metric system... :P

@ranjit why are they turning the opm down

@ranjit I can’t possibly fit that many onions on my belt

@ranjit how much is that in cheeseburgers per bald eagle?

@ranjit My pressure cooker has a button for “TASTE”. It has three settings, press it once and you get “MORE TASTE”, press it twice and you get “LESS TASTE”.

@ranjit could only be better if the "SPEED" label read "ONIONS"

@ranjit "What's your OPM rate look like?"
"Oh, about 108, 109..."
"Whoa, that's a little high there, friend."

@ranjit [me, in tears, desperately mashing the "less onions" button] stop, please stop

@ranjit for some reason the up arrow for speed terrifies me. how many more onions do we NEED?

@ranjit I don’t know what this machine does, but 108.6 onions per minute sounds pretty good to me! 🧅

@ranjit There must be some way we can replace *all* user interfaces with this, regardless of whether it makes sense or not

@ranjit This really brings a tear to my eye.

@ranjit ah yes, the Torr connection machine

@ranjit OPMs!

@ranjit bookmarked this for my hci lecture!

@ranjit Cations, Anions, Onions... Must be some part of chemistry I missed.

@ranjit This one is probably more generally useful though.

@ranjit former Australian PM Tony "Onion Enjoyer" Abbott needs to know this.

@ranjit i'm sorry, three digits is not covering my onion per minute requirements.

@ranjit that's too many onions

@ranjit curious what .6 of an onion looks like, considering they come in different sizes? 🤔

@ranjit
@iamliam
But how many off-ions can it process?

@ranjit the down button seems unnecessary. i can't think of any circumstances under which you'd want *less* onions per minute

@ranjit "Onions per Minute" is one of these quirky US Imperial measurements I guess? 😛

@ranjit Americans will do anything to avoid using the metric system

@ranjit Onions Per Minute (OPM rate) *LOL*

@Ranjit @ftrain i like the decimal point

@ranjit Moar onions! We demand moar onions!!!

@ranjit @christineluc As a Wallace & Gromit adventure it pretty much writes itself.

@ranjit “your honor I only understand units of onions per minute so you’re gonna have to the speed limit conversion calculation for me”

@ranjit Taskmaster be like:

@Ranjit Onions!

@ranjit OPM is the best unit of measurement

@ranjit That is simply glorious.

@ranjit ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHT POINT SIX ONIONS PER MINUTE

I don't know what this machine is, and I don't want to. Whatever it is, the reality won't compare to the daft scenarios my brain is cooking up.

@ranjit

I'm glad they're on the down button, over 100 onions/min is way too much.

@Ranjit me watching TLOU ep 3

@ranjit ah yes, the device that controls the amount of Onion articles that become real.

@ranjit this is a screenshot from Look Around You and you can't convince me otherwise

@sebastian_kargl

@ranjit I'm at a loss figuring out what this machine does, so I asked ChatGPT for a machine response:

@Ranjit That does it. My next band name is Onions Per Minute.

@ranjit that’s a lot of onions.

@ranjit @clive quick! Knock down the OPM, we have a level three crying event

@ranjit Why aren't we using onions per minute as a measure more broadly?!

@ranjit do not turn off the onions or the internet

@Ranjit This would make an excellent reaction image when people mistake something from The Onion as true.

@ranjit turning a big dial taht says "Onions per minute" on it and constantly looking back at the audience for approval like a contestant on the price is right

@ranjit "Onions per minute" is a good metric of how weird the news is: how often does it generate a real headline that looks like it came from The Onion.
