Not only euros. 95.8% of world population have no idea why you measure length with your body parts.

Then later on redefine the units by using metrics anyway because everything is fucked up.

Wait what part of my body is a mile? Are you calling me fat? :,[

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

It's OK maybe it'll still grow.

Mile is defined as 5280 feet, isn't it?

I would never called you fat! Maybe slightly overweight 🤣

Funniest imperial unit I see in my work from time to time is pressure in psf. Punds per square foot - very painfull unit.

I pronounce kilo more with an ee sound, like keylo, so I read it as skeelometre, which sounds really funny, like I'm doing a bad impression of an eastern European accent

That's kilometre.

Ironivally, the only country that officially uses kilometer is...the US.

Here in Germany, it's also called "kilometer", albeit in our German bastardization of Ancient Greek.

Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden all use Meter

Try kilometr in polish. What, don't like consonants so close together?

Strč prst skrz krk.

One of my life's greatest achievements was convincing a guy from Brazil that the sentence above is not ridiculously stupid.
