Left is objectively better.
>>217827585Agreed
Are you talking about the better side of the road to drive on? Agree
>>217827585Right is intellectually dishonest
>>217827585>First floor is the second level of the buildingUnironically a Satanic system of confusion and boogery
>>217827585Nuh uh.
alright guys count to three>bongs be like: ZERO ONE TWO
>>217827585I vastly prefer left but for some retarded reason we use right, here
ground in britain means 0
>>217827617>>217827767lets say you're on the "ground floor". What word do you refer to the area under your feet?>be careful when moving that heavy furniture, so that you don't scratch the flooror>be careful when moving that heavy furniture, so that you don't scratch the ground
>>217827862What the fuck are you trying to say?
I was confused for several minutes doing quests on runescape back in the day because of this horrible naming systemshall never forgive the brits
>>217827807probably from being a former british colony. Also probably why you have a prime minister instead of a republic. Like, who is the minister, Bibi, supposed to be ministering to? Herzog? Kind of stupid.
>>217827900runescape is American though
Ameritards counting be like>-2, -1, 1, 2
>>217827585British people look like monkeys
>>217828296true
Americans are right
>>217827585We could eliminate this debate by combining both systems:>ground floor>second floor>third floor>fourth floor
>>217828359What if the first floor isn't on the ground? Then what? What the fuck are you going to do?
>>217827900They non ironically add a (UK) nowadays.
>>217828381I don't know
>>217828359>Underground Floor>Ground Floor>Next Floor>Floor after>Floor after that>Next floor after that
>>217827585its like arrays, count starts at 0
>>217827585Agree, but here we use the right one.
>>217827585It is a bit silly.But we do use the word "storey" if we want to count floors the american way.
>>217828359Unironically the best idea so far, I was about to post this>>217828381Then you call it the first floor, giving both terms a reason to exist
>>217827585Last week I was leaving work, got into the elevator. There were 2 men already in there and the 1 button was pressed. We bet to the first floor, and they make audible British noises of confusion as to why we're not on the ground floor
>>217827585>first floor is the first floor it's the floor abovekek
>>217827585kek, do americans really?
>>217828927>Giving both terms a reason to existNo, you're not? First floor would still be applicable for both fucking situations, where ground floor wouldn't. It's just superfluous at that point. Sit your dumbass down.
>>217829406It would let you be more specific in conversation, which is a good thing. Why are you so assblasted about this?
>>217829506It's not about that, it's about which is objectively better, you silly motherfucker. You goofy little goober. You saturday morning sally. You cum guzzling connor. You cute whore.
The ground is a reference point, for humans or origin in the plane or room is the ground, so that would be (Ax, By, 0z) when you are somewhere on earth on ground level
>>217829621Gaped that ladyboy
Every floor is the ground floor because your feet are on the ground at all times.
>>217827585never knew there was another option
>>217827585We use right for some reason. I shit you not, when I was a kid I used to think that "gf" means "gojeh farangi" which literally means tomato instead of ground floor.>>217828432Your system is good and valid. I stand with you.
>>217827805We have the same system as bonge. Bottom floor is bottenvåning and second level is första våning
The ground floor is the first floor
>>217831938>the 2nd floor is the 1st floor
>>217827585Left is objectively better.
>>217830218but the ground is on the ground or not
>>217827862If I’m in a building, it’s the floor. Outside, ground. If I’m outside and drop something on the dirt, I don’t say “I dropped it on the floor.”
index starts with 0
>>217827807most buildings dont have apartments on the ground floor so it makes sense
>>217827585What do americans say when they are on the lowest level (ground floor) and go down one level, they go to -2?
it's funny because it doesn't exactly make much sense in englsh but in other european languages there is a adjective for "multi-storeyness" and therefore it made sense to distinguish first "non-ground" floor as.. the first floor especially back when 99% of population couldn't afford multi-storey buildings and "multi-storeyness" was a distinguishing factor
>>217827585the polish word "piętro" comes from the verb that means climbingso it wouldn't make sense for the ground floor (parter) to be a "piętro"
>>217827585I prefer right, since its the same in German.
>>217827585With the American system nobody ever lives on the first floor. There are no apartments on the ground floor. It's just for building access and utility. The floor above it is the FIRST FLOOR with apartments on it. That's why it's called the first floor.
>>217827585I had a fellow soldier die in Squad because I said the enemy was covering the second floor door and he thought I meant the third floor :(
>-2nd floor>-1st floor>1st floor>2nd floorAmerican education
>>217835253makes perfect sense.
>>217835253>>217832737It's pretty rare to have basements like this (at least in normal contexts), and usually they're called something else (like for example "parking" or maintenance" or even just "basement" or "sub-level"). I've never seen a negative level floor.
>>217832787>in other european languages there is a adjective for "multi-storeyness" and therefore it made sense to distinguish first "non-ground" floor as.. the first floorYesYou would never say the ground level is a "floor" Here it's "parter" the ground levelThen the floors, "etaje", start above that.I assume it's like that in many others.
>>217835397Here the ground floor is just "pohjakerros" which literally means "bottom layer" or "base layer" and after that it's "1st layer" "2nd layer" etc.
>>217827585The entire world except murka uses right
>>217836444the entire world is wrong or whatever the founding fathers intended
>>217827585In most modern programming languages like C, C++, Java, and Python, arrays start with an index of 0. Bongs are simply thinking like programmers.
>>217836887lua chads where you at
It's right in Germany.
>>217835253There was no year 0 in the Gregorian calendar either, so we Euros would get flak for that too.There's 'zeroth floor' in Spain which feels off, I'm all for left on OP's image because having a 0 for something as clear cut as floors sounds like we're in the Twilight Zone or something.
>>217835397>etajewe also call it that way, etage. but the bottom or ground one is always the first.its just two different ways of numbering them. if you draw a vertical line and place numbers from bottom to top, -3 through 0 and up to 3, bottom floor fags count the actual numbers and i find this mathematicly wrong. we count the area between the numbers, first etage is the etage between 0 and 1, you cannot be on etage 0 it doesnt exist, its literally zero, no value. same for -1, its consistent and logical. ground floor/floor 0 being the first floor above ground? why? why isnt the first floor below ground 0? its inconsistent, its counting with 0 as it has a value.
>>217827585Both make sense. I guess it just depends what you're used to
>>217827585>what if we did integer counting without a zerolike always Americans are centuries behind everyone and they're proud of it. I'm surprised they don't have their own number writing system too.
>>217827862>be careful when moving that furniture so that you don't scratch the fifth floorlmao
>European elegance-2-1012>American retardednessB2B1123
>>217837036>There was no year 0 in the Gregorian calendar eitherThat's when Jesus was born>no akshually reddit said he was born in 30 AD o algono
>>217827585We use the one on the right, and when talking to employees of commercial or public buildings, they will almost always give you a consistent answer about the first floor, i.e. above the ground floor. There's no mistake there.The issue is when talking casually with friends. Sometimes, when they say first floor, they actually mean the ground floor.>"yo bro, let's meet in this building on the first floor">ok>go to the first floor of said building>time passes and the sob doesn't show up>call him: where the fuck are you?>"I'm here on the first floor">are you really on first floor or on the ground floor?>"oh my bad, I meant the ground floor tehehehehe"That shit pisses me of so much.
>>217837036>one millisecond after year 0congrats, you are now into year 1
>>217827585Ground is 0. Its the 0th floor. Its like starting your array from 0.Americans are doing a Lua and starting their arrays from 1. Actually grim.
>>2178374450 doesn’t exist, stupid. 0 floor means nothing floor. >bri’ish education
Elevators here have RC and 1st floor as separate, but it depends on the building I guess.
>>217837547this.pic related is the first centimeter, floors are the same.>brits live in the infinetly small and undefinable void of floor 0.
>>217835363Not even in hospitals or something? They have large basements here, I think I’ve seen -3 or -4
>>217837318>>217837382It's not a very sensible calendar but we're sorta stuck with it. I mean plebs are, master race uses seconds since Unix epoch
>>217837644>measurement is the same as counting
>>217837157Your system is inconsistent, ours is just what floor you're currently walking on. If I press the 0 button on the elevator I'll be walking on floor at the 0 line. With 1 it's waling on floor at the 1 line. With -1 it's waking on floor at the -1 line.
>>217837036The calendar measures time "after x". You can't have a time 0 units after anything because it isn't after it but the moment itself.
>>217836444Japan uses left.
>>217827805Yeah? That's objectively right. Also makes more sense when you have basement levels.
>>217827585Oi m8 that’s indefencible innit? You paedophile foetis in a nappy bin. Why don’t you rock on up to the bloody shoppe for some goyscran of all colours
>>217827585brits are zero-index chads.
>>217828359this is fine
>>217839443no its not. whenever you have something its not zero.ok, lets say its floor zero, why isnt the basement named roof zero? you cant just say that zero has a value but that value is only above zero and between one? if you do then zero holds the same value between zero and -one.if i lay down two apples in front of you, one hole and one almost eaten up, will you say thats one apple? or one where someone almost ate up the second? its not a full apple but its clearly not a part of the first it has to be its own thing.by your counting that would be 0 apples.
>>217827585Mfw I dont know which is used hereI think both are used
>>217827585trvke
"kondygnacja" is more of a legal term than what is used in daily life
>>217837552Yeah sometimes buildings from the 60-70's will have GF/RC -> 2nd floor and no 13th floor, which is bonkers
