Because you can put two in a room.

Need Mace Windu saying this to the Jedi Council

[-] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Unfortunately, Mace is the council making stupid-ass decisions.

Then call it a half twin.

[-] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

That makes no sense! I'd say that this greatly depends on the size of the room. Unsless rooms have standard sizes in the US!?

Don’t forget that you can stack them and make bunk beds too.

[-] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Why arent they called triplets then?

[-] TheDeepState@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Because you can’t reasonably get three in a room whereas you can reasonably get two in the majority of bedrooms.

I looked it up to put an end to this. American hotels call them twin beds because they were a matching set of beds put in a room.

That makes good sense! Thanks!

Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.
