UK Prime Ministerial tenures since Milk-Snatcher Thatcher, approximated as lettuces

@urlyman The head of lettuce is a brilliant unit but you’ve also introduced “the Truss” as an equivalent unit. Bravo!

[urlyman@mastodon.social]

@Kimota94 thank you

@urlyman

I feel like this is maybe a little unfair to the lettuce. Liz Truss did not last for a full lettuce, the lettuce was still in good health when she resigned.

@LillyHerself @urlyman ...Home Groan

@rokabe @LillyHerself @urlyman Yeah, he didn't particularly like foreign ones …

[shaedrich@mastodon.online]

@urlyman @trashboypro Excuse me? Have you called Liz Truss old? /s

I'm sure she's been called worse though

[shaedrich@mastodon.online]

@WuMargaret @kotaro @urlyman And that particular nightmare already lasts many a lettuce

@urlyman @kbm0 Caviar sounds appropriate

[shaedrich@mastodon.online]

@shiawase @kbm0 @urlyman Does that mean, you would measure EU politician's tenures in brussel sprouts?

@feijoa @Lazarou @kbm0 @urlyman He looks better in vanilla

[wumargaret@ack.nerdfight.online]

@shaedrich @kotaro @urlyman Sooooo many heads of lettuce

[shaedrich@mastodon.online]

@urlyman Would be an interesting way to vote:
1. Voters are ask if they would prefer the contender or the lettuce as PM
2. When the lettuce gets a majority, there has to be another round of elections
3. Media could present this similar to selecting a new pope ("Nope, lettuce again, no news")

[shaedrich@mastodon.online]

@WuMargaret @kotaro @urlyman They could probably fill out a whole … reflecting pool

[shaedrich@mastodon.online]

@WuMargaret @kotaro @urlyman Might be a new self-description for political apathics: "Lettuce heads"

[shaedrich@mastodon.online]

@urlyman I'm sure "lettuce vs PM" already is a category on PolyMarket

@at @Thebratdragon @urlyman A cat, a mouse, and a lettuce walk into Downing Street No. 10...

[floe@hci.social]

@urlyman Come on , you can't leave out Maggie Thatcher, weighing in at (I believe) a whopping 86 lettuces?

[urlyman@mastodon.social]

@floe the post at the top is *exactly* 500 characters. Everyone since has been Thatcherite anyway ‍️

[urlyman@mastodon.social]

@shaedrich ha! No doubt
