I happily saw your presentation and really want to buy a chewy decimal system shirt!!!!

That was brilliant!

shalom.dftba.social•7 days ago

This should be your legacy

carolmilters.com•7 days ago

just watched you on and
OH MY GOOD CHEWY DECIMAL SYSTEM IS MY LORD AND SAVIOUR

sunnyrain.bsky.social•7 days ago

Noooo not the DDS! You’re gonna need a reference librarian to work at the library to look up call numbers of food. I agree with the principle of standardizing the grocery store, but based on literally anything else.

Also Melvil Dewey was a bad bad man

More jobs for librarians that aren't underpaid civil service!

tjtrott.bsky.social•7 days ago

30 seconds in and I have never been more sold on a concept.

secretfiri.bsky.social•7 days ago

I loved the hell out of it and the comments on Reddit should be read!

rewallace.bsky.social•7 days ago

You completely convinced my entire household. Please refer me to your political action group to make the Chewy Decimal system a reality.

rowinpoe.bsky.social•7 days ago

Does it discuss the real issues? Or just more fluffy brainwashing and personal emotional prioritization?

How can I support the Chewy Decimal System being a reality Hank, please

srhammond.bsky.social•1 day ago

Can you post the full Chewy Decimal System?!?!

thatscats.bsky.social•7 days ago

We NEED the chewy decimal system.

amandagrayperry.bsky.social•7 days ago

Where’s the Chewy Decimal System merch, Hank

I need the Chewy Decimal System shirt, Hank

lefty-lama.bsky.social•7 days ago

Your take is incredible!

cinnamongraham.bsky.social•7 days ago

Fuck. Yes.

extracandy.bsky.social•6 days ago

as a library worker who is firmly anti-Dewey, I’m impressed you convinced me to be pro-Chewy

thedromeda.bsky.social•5 days ago

Library of Nom-gress?

stashdragon.bsky.social•7 days ago

I just got Dropout last month. I have not caught up to the current season of stuff yet.

kmwsd.bsky.social•7 days ago

Did not fuck around.

platespinner.craves.coffee•7 days ago

What about prepared foods? Should they be shelved as the sum of their parts? Does a TV dinner go in desert?

Are end-caps still allowed for whimsy?

nikkiw1219.bsky.social•7 days ago

I need the Chewy Decimal System merch to spread the word; genius Czar Hank!!

notscott.bsky.social•7 days ago

How do we get Chewy Decimal System merch??

jiggityj.bsky.social•7 days ago

Excellent showing. Felt like a Vlogbrothers video on steroids.

animetriplicate.bsky.social•7 days ago

I love the idea almost as much as I enjoyed watching Hank literally jump up and down while ranting about it. Amazing segment!

nofearofnight.bsky.social•7 days ago

you and paul on the same episode??? incredible!!

bigthe.bsky.social•7 days ago

I'm convinced.

splatterpaintkt.bsky.social•7 days ago

Hank you are 100% correct—how do we get @dropout.tv to sell the shirts?

jrtraas.bsky.social•7 days ago

We LOVED your presentation and COMPLETELY AGREE. A vital message we can all get behind in these chaotic times. Where do I sign?

rith.au•7 days ago

Re: shirts. Perks of owning your on merch company eh? Love how on board everyone was.

hankgreen.bsky.social•7 days ago

Actually the dropout people did it for me!!

rith.au•7 days ago

That's so nice!

hmmm maybe they can be future P4A perks? 🤔

nerdfighternichole.dftba.social•7 days ago

tori.dftba.social•7 days ago

Damn. If they were available at good dot store where the money from the purchase went to charity I’d probably get that hat. Coffee and tea are groceries, it’s almost a grocery store

nerdfighternichole.dftba.social•7 days ago

fushiryu.bsky.social•7 days ago

@samreich.bsky.social why isn’t this on the merch store yet?

minimarker.dftba.social•7 days ago

You have your own merch company and didn’t make your own merch?!?

conwaythewizard.bsky.social•6 days ago

Hank this was so good!

inarastarr.bsky.social•7 days ago

I now need the #chewydecimalsystem

sleepergeek42.bsky.social•2 days ago

Watching it right now and I propose having a copy of the Chewy Decimal System printed out on the little plastic flap in the baby seat up by the handlebar, you know the thing

Easy reference point, it's something that you'll probably memorize over time, etc.

tellmewhatsreal.bsky.social•7 days ago

You killed it

tori.dftba.social•7 days ago

Release the spreadsheet. The people need to know.

itmejd.dftba.social•7 days ago

I'm dying to see it!!!

johnandon.bsky.social•7 days ago

If we can't organize the stores yet, we can at least implement in our own pantries.

nsnick.bsky.social•7 days ago

This is critical so we can start creating an app that can crowdsource both the scanning of UPC codes to categorize products by their Chewy Decimal codes and also the mapping out of grocery stores, so if they aren't arranged by Chewy Decimal, you can at least locate the disparate locations.

vampjoseph.com•7 days ago

if you or someone were to develop this app, I would def map out my local grocery store!

nerdfighternichole.dftba.social•7 days ago

yesssss we absolutely do!!!

katefish617.bsky.social•7 days ago

We could add this to our Sunday watching rotation!

nerdfighternichole.dftba.social•7 days ago

yes we should do that! For some reason I thought there was 2 episodes with Hank on them maybe I am crazy tho? 🤔

nerdfighternichole.dftba.social•7 days ago

also could do AHA

katefish617.bsky.social•7 days ago

Ooooo we could - I haven't seen any of those either!

tori.dftba.social•7 days ago

Those are some pretty smart pants

higglety.bsky.social•7 days ago

can i ask: which came first, the concept or the name? Were you inspired by a desire for a more efficient system, and then name that system, or did the phrase "chewy decimal system" pop into your brain and you worked backwards from there?

doaasaleh.bsky.social•7 days ago

Help me and my family survive 😭💔 Please share this link https://www.gofundme.com/f/hope-for-d...

tomekeeperjulia.bsky.social•7 days ago

Hank, as a Librarian, I love the idea of the Chewy Decimal System, but I would advocate for the Grocer of Congress system, which has a much larger field of potential category headings due to its 1-3 letter + 1-4 number + some decimal systems.

Also, don't forget Cutter numbers for brand names!

libraryguy.bsky.social•7 days ago

From Cutter's vision of the future, I think he'd be proud

danielmclark.com•7 days ago

How smart are these pants you’re talking about?

fushiryu.bsky.social•7 days ago

Your presentation is the perfect mix of informative and unhinged. I also need a chewy decimal system shirt.

tophizzle.bsky.social•3 days ago

I might be able to tolerate grocery stores if we adopted your system! I definitely agree with you

sirenhound.bsky.social•2 days ago

This could make following recipes so much easier!
Do I need a specific kind of bell pepper? or will a generalized chewy decimal suffice?
If I'm unfamiliar with an ingredient, I can still match the numbers (eggplant or aubergine?).
Could have Chewy Decimal substitutions for things you can't locate

cephalopodsdaily.bsky.social•7 days ago

I was wondering when they would get you on Smartypants

thedromeda.bsky.social•5 days ago

Petition to change the name to Library of Nom-gress and I'm on board. Melvil Dewey was an awful serial sexual harrasser and generally terrible person and his system isn't much better.

thatgdub.bsky.social•7 days ago

Dropout is legitimately the most valuable entertainment streaming service I have ever subscribed to. So many great people and such great content. So excited to see you there!

danivaughnbea.bsky.social•7 days ago

Chewy decimal system. 😡

addibaddie.bsky.social•7 days ago

I want to see you on gamechanger/make some noise with Brennan and Ross!

spacebras.bsky.social•7 days ago

You've made the librarians very upset bringing Dewey into the conversation 😂 LCC forever !

akzphoto.bsky.social•7 days ago

YES! Not that garbage Dewey Decimal! That was my only complaint about his methodology.

every-man-jack.bsky.social•7 days ago

So damn good

chthonicrat.bsky.social•7 days ago

me, mere seconds before you mention libraries and dewey decimals: library cataloging for groceries…

me, seconds after you mention those things: HOOOLLLYYYYY SHIT

blondenugget.bsky.social•1 day ago

Where do I get my Chewy Decimal System merch?

srhammond.bsky.social•1 day ago

THIS!

handle.invalid•7 days ago

OH NO! PUT IT BACK IN!!!

powerlyne.bsky.social•7 days ago

I have to know where you quantify Velveeta. This is critical

jujujanuary.bsky.social•7 days ago

Honestly, yours is most I have completely agreed with resonated with a presentation since Zach Reino’s “No Thank You, The Ocean”.

sleeplessone.com•7 days ago

We need to fund this Chewy Decimal System immediately!

thoughtytwo42.bsky.social•7 days ago

How do I watch it for free on YouTube?

crista717.bsky.social•7 days ago

It was so good!!

pamsteropolous.bsky.social•7 days ago

Such a solid presentation. All good points. As a librarian by degree, I approve of this approach.

roastedcauliflower.bsky.social•6 days ago

A delight!

mikeegan.bsky.social•7 days ago

After watching it, I’m pretty sure you paid them so you could provide the world with this important truth.

mikeegan.bsky.social•7 days ago

It was my favorite, you sold it great, and I loved the end beat. Being right also helps.

corvidarts.bsky.social•7 days ago

This is going to be fun.

kylerudy.bsky.social•7 days ago

You've convinced me to abandon democracy and make you a dictator for grocery stores, specifically.

forgottentea.bsky.social•7 days ago

Hank, you spoke for all of us today! I live in an area where there are three of the same regional store on one road. All laid out differently.

austinwitherspoon.com•7 days ago

EVERYBODY PANIC

katiehambor.com•7 days ago

Czar

gretchenalice.bsky.social•7 days ago

As a librarian, I would gladly become a grocery librarian to manage this at H‑E‑B here in Texas.

fritterfae.bsky.social•5 days ago

Finally got around to this and loved it. As a librarian, cataloger, and tee-shirt hoarder I need the shirt as well as that taxonomy table.

sirenofcanosa.bsky.social•7 days ago

Legit, the smartest of the Smartypants concepts! We need this system in our lives 🛒🛍️

danielfarago.bsky.social•7 days ago

We need the full system! At least open source it out!

mintygigi.bsky.social•7 days ago

PSA- Dropout is totally worth the $6/month 😀

cactusemoji.xyz•7 days ago

Chewy decimal system or bust!!

comicallycanadian.bsky.social•7 days ago

as a fan of George Orwell, why would you use a pig? lmao..seems a little too animal farm esc.

timwood.work•5 days ago

Loved the presentation, but Dewey Decimal has the same problems as the ‘Asian’ aisle! 60% of the world population in one aisle, and 70% of the world’s religions in 290-299?

timwood.work•5 days ago

Also, whenever you drop the spreadsheet, I’d love to see how the botanical taxonomy collides with the culinary taxonomy with regards to fruits vs vegetables. Where can I find a tomato?

bighoss97.bsky.social•7 days ago

Ahh I can't wait! We just started Smartypants, and we love it.

shanehoffman.bsky.social•7 days ago

IMPOSSIBLE!

allikuja.bsky.social•7 days ago

Omg yes!!!

nerdyqueer.bsky.social•7 days ago

Just saw your talk and I HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE ON BOARD WITH AN IDEA OMG. Not gonna spoil it for others that haven't seen it yet, but damn I love the way you think. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

dwindlebunny.bsky.social•3 days ago

Is there a link to the table of categories? I wanna seeeee

rynthorn.bsky.social•7 days ago

So good! I loved it!

macaronbaker.bsky.social•7 days ago

We just got a new fridge installed today and thought to myself, “to bad I don’t have the full Chewy Decimal System to re-organize by”

jupiterninja.bsky.social•7 days ago

I cannot stress enough how good of an idea the Chewy Decimal System is

vampjoseph.com•7 days ago

This needs to be a real thing the world over!

missalwayswrite.bsky.social•7 days ago

Forever impressed with your ability to find the fucking hook omg Hank

hawkworley.bsky.social•7 days ago

All these presenters out here making jokes, Hank shows up with science and merch!

dancemomandrew.bsky.social•7 days ago

Dropout was how I got introduced to your work. Hope they’ll have ya back for more dimension 20 too.

rionsanura.bsky.social•7 days ago

you went the hardest of any smartypants presentation i've ever seen and you are also the rightest. PLEASE institute your system where can i vote for it

skudiklier.bsky.social•7 days ago

I've been so hyped for this for months https://bsky.app/profile/hankgreen.bsky.social/post/3lclgi6uah225

skudiklier.bsky.social•7 days ago

ooooh can't wait to watch it!!

ynot1989.bsky.social•7 days ago

Who do we write to to support the adoption of the Chewy Decimal System?

ericalisbeth.bsky.social•6 days ago

As for me and my house, we support the Chewy Decimal
System.

smiffus.bsky.social•7 days ago

We need the Chewey Decimal System!

coldandabsurd.bsky.social•7 days ago

loved the presentation fully support your regime also where is the mammoth sweater from

hankgreen.bsky.social•7 days ago

Bonobos!

coldandabsurd.bsky.social•7 days ago

Thank you! I’ll never grocery shop without anger again!

janice-says.bsky.social•7 days ago

I’m 1000% on board for the chewy decimal system!!!

helenrottier.bsky.social•7 days ago

Hank, I need to you to know that I recently completed my dissertation and have ample free time with which to create an opposing LOC for foods out of 🔥spite🔥 - stay tuned.

gutsdozer.bsky.social•7 days ago

I am SO on board with your system. I have never related more to a Powerpoint slide.

carolmilters.com•7 days ago

It gave me goosebumps!

vampjoseph.com•7 days ago

SAME! I tend to stay out of the aisles unless I need toiletries or soup.

pixelpixy.bsky.social•7 days ago

I’ve been so hyped for this episode! This makes all the sense. Call your congressman! Chewy decimal system please! 😄

zeezee83.bsky.social•7 days ago

Just saw this and 1) Chewy Decimal System? I love it! 100% on board. 2) Question: where would items that can be under multiple categories go? Butter is a bread topping, but also an animal product and a baked good ingredient as well as a lubricant, so where would it go in the chewy decimal system.

curtisharvie.bsky.social•7 days ago

Hank, I needed maple syrup a few weeks ago and there was one kind with the syrups and the rest was NEXT TO THE PRODUCE. We need your solution.

ashtuatara.dftba.social•7 days ago

Grape jelly is the default!!!!

shllybkwrm.bsky.social•7 days ago

Hank I love your slide styling! Also you MADE MERCH?!

filthy-sewer-rat.bsky.social•7 days ago

While the name chewy decimal system is excellent, did you consider using LoC as your base considering that it's better for massive collections like you would find in grocery stores?

crowsbranch.bsky.social•7 days ago

Fantastic presentation
