Not really. There are band sizes as small as 24. True they are not as common, but they still exist. 30C is still small because the simplified formula is measure the underbust in inches and that is your band size, then measure the largest area of the breasts and subtract the number from the under bust. For every inch you add a letter. So the case in 30C her bust should measure at 33". This is simplified and differs between brands and country of origin (for me the the UK is the most consistent), as well as shapes and sizes.
The reason why the majority of people think that 30C is big is because lots of women wear the wrong size, and freak out when they learn their actual size.
If you look up what actual bra sizes look like, you’d be surprised as well.
I don’t think it changed. I think people are more aware of their correct size now.

5·2 days agoThe people who say roast it and eat it are correct, but if you’re lazy like me, a much easier way is to throw a whole head in with your meal (usually it’s rice for me) and cook it with it. Once it’s done, it’ll easily break apart and you can just squeeze the garlic out. Depending on how long it was cooked, it ranges from a paste consistency to being a bit mushy while still retaining its shape. Can’t get enough of it!

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's a random act of kindness that's stuck with you?
5·3 days agoSomething similar happened to me a few years ago. I used to work in a hospital and at the time I had torn some ligamints in my ankle from a sprain and was kind of limping. Anyway, there was this really long hallway I was walking and carrying a box. Out of nowhere some one snatches the box out of my hands, and that freaked me out, why would some one steal a box they don’t the contents of. It took me a few seconds to process that the guy was helping me. So he slows down his pace to match mine and walked a bit in front of me without uttering a word! I just thanked him when I got to my turn and never saw him again.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do everyone else have a stubborn hair that they have been pulling out since forever every few weeks?
3·1 month agoI used to have one on my neck and every couple of weeks I’d go looking to pluck it. One day though it was gone. I kept reaching for it, but never found it.
Just as I was about to lose hope, lo and behold, it was right above my eyebrow. Now, is it the same hair? Who can tell. I have a feeling it got tired of being plucked out so it decided to migrate. That didn’t work so well for it though.

Yes! And there were a few who really know their shit when it comes to bras.
