Yeah, YouTube posts feed is something else.

Well, ACK-SHUL-LEE...
1. Being able to retrieve the information stored on the various tapes and CD shown there is not something that would be done by a device that fits in a normal pocket (except perhaps for the microcassette). [Also note that a couple of those formats (the microcassette and the Beta tape) are very uncommon today, and the VHS tape is well out the door at this point.]
2. Pulling on over-the-air digital TV signals and displaying them is not a feature of any pocket sized device on the market that I'm aware of. My phone can pull in FM radio provided headphones are plugged in (not AM, though I do have an actual pocket radio that does both bands), but trying to watch TV off a broadcast signal seems unlikely with a portable device today.
3. That word processor, that prints on a full sized sheet of office paper (8.5"x11" in the US, probably A4 elsewhere)? That's not fitting in your pocket, period.

Fun fact - when Sony brought out its TR-63 transistor radio in 1957 (not the first transistor radio, or even the first model from Sony, but the first one to sell in the millions of units), they purportedly had a batch of shirts made with slightly oversized pockets so their salesmen could tout the radio as being 'pocket sized'.

Since @UnnamedPlayer refuses to make the effort to understand the entirely logical American measurement system, I've prepared this chart to assist him and any other non-USA-ians with conversions between our various measurements. I don't want to hear any more complaining, and there will be a pop quiz, so get studying.

Length:
1 mile = 8 furlongs
1 furlong = 10 chains
1 chain = 4 rods
1 rod = 5.5 yards
1 yard = 3 feet
1 foot = 3 hands
1 hand = 4 inches

Area:
1 chain x 1 furlong = 1 acre
640 acres = 1 square mile

Liquid volume:
1 US gallon = 231 cubic inches
1 US gallon = 4 quarts
1 quart = 2 pints
1 pint = 2 cups
1 cup = 2 gills
1 gill = 4 fluid ounces
1 fluid ounce = 8 drams
1 fluid ounce = 2 tablespoons
1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons

Dry volume:
1 bushel = 4 pecks
1 peck = 8 dry quarts
1 dry quart = 67.200625 cubic inches

Weight:
1 long ton = 2240 pounds avoirdupois
1 short ton = 2000 pounds av.
1 hundredweight = 112 pounds av.
1 hundredweight = 4 quarters
1 quarter = 2 stone
1 stone = 14 pounds av.
1 pound av. = 16 ounces av.
1 ounce av. = 437.5 grains

How can americans be that bad at mental calculation if they use units like that everyday ?

Okay but what about Troy weights? Got to calculate my gold reserves properly!

How can americans be that bad at mental calculation if they use units like that everyday ?

Then find out that there are jobs out there that require one to mentally convert the two because corporations want so many files to be processed with crap programs that only take inputs in metric (they're crap for other reasons, metric makes sense) while not requiring paperwork to conform to metric guidelines... You want me to calculate Board Feet to Meters cubed on each line of a 15 line shipment in less than 10 minutes using a program with the efficiency of a sedated tortoise? Yeah, okay. /Rant

Well, maybe this is why zoomers don't like D&D/OSE/Pathfinder. It's cool when you're going full Medieval (fantasy or not), but otherwise it causes unnecessary headaches. If you think about it, when cowboys want to learn science they need to use the International System, whereas the rest of the world only uses obsolete systems when they want to look cool or make fun.

By using a duck as a measurement standar. I am 2 and 3/4 duck tall.

The problem with this joke is that any reasonable audience would instead conclude that the joke is simply an invocation of a silly rhyme as the result of a realistic phenomenon: that a rural business selling farming supplies has changed ownership from Chuck to Sneed which serendipidously rhymes with the rest of the shop name. It does not occur to most people to expect the nature of the business had been changed as well, leading them to assume the name of the store was "Chuck's Feed and Seed" given that the only communicated change was that of the owner's name. It requires a complete severance from suspension of disbelief to consider that "Chucks Fuck and Suck" is the intended etymological implication because it violates the expectation of normative world processes necessary for suspension of disbelief in favor of a wordplay joke completely unrelated to the story or anything else being presented. The fact that the store may have previously been sexual in nature is not sufficiently set up to be funny. It relies on the viewer to consider sexuality, in particular homosexuality (in being presented as Chuck's), to be humourous on its own, which relies entirely on an external audience assumption. Thus it does not justify itself as an affective element of the narrative, and can be considered an unnecessary detail which fails the principle of Chekov's Gun.

I thought everyone inAmerica are fat and has a dark circle aroun their eyes.

Surprisingly, we're not the fattest country. We're no where near actually. Though there are a lot of obese individuals here. And, I really don't want to bring up politics, but the "body positivity" stuff did not help in getting more Americans fit and healthy. Though, the whole scene seems to be dying out (sometimes literally), especially with the introduction of Ozempic.
