How many hands long do they get?

French invented metric system…

This meme wasn’t created to ridicule Americans, it was created to enrage the French, and to a lesser extent the Germans.

Anything but metric lol

That second phrase can be useful information…

How many double-sized hamburgers is it? 600?

Hamburgers is probably not the worst measurement for a cow, it removes all conversion.

400. But don’t be fooled. Between brain, bones, and waste you’ll only get get 200 double quarter pounders out of them. A little more if you add beef or pork fat to make them juicy.

ETA: I have no fucking clue what is going on with the formatting.

And at least Americans use a consistent system of measures. Not the weird half breed that the UK uses.

yeah this is imperial washing. they setup a colony and left it with an antiquated system of measures, then cheated off their neighbor for a better one.

fucking stones.

they measure thing in stones, still. the uk acts all uppity about metric shit and still uses imperial garbage variably all over.

This is offensively incorrect.

Deer are closer to 1.75 bicycles tall.

The ironic thing is that the imperial system comes from Britain. It’s just that US decided to keep it.

the more metric the better. in that regard, the UK is better than the US. of course, both are inferior to any other country which only uses the metric system

This is useful information that tells you how many hamberders a deer corpse can make

One Imperial deer is 1.74832 bicycles. If you’re going to use a retarded system, you must also use retarded significant figures.

Maybe they’re as tall as bicycles are long?

X. is what Lemmy uses for numbered lists. So

1. Stuff
2. Stuff
3. Stuff

Becomes

1. Stuff
2. Stuff
3. Stuff

To avoid that you could write 400\. rather than 400.

Ha, yeah. I wasn’t thinking about it. It’ll just stay as a list starting with 400 then.

You’re awesome for letting me know for next time.

So same as soccer

And legally America does use the metric system…

And the worst part is, they didn’t even adopt it completely. They were not even going the complete mile.
