Ok that’s a bit shaky but by the same token sometimes when I look up recipes there’s metric measurements. It takes like 30 seconds to look up a site that does conversions.
Despite the stereotype by Europeans, Americans don’t get all butthurt when we see metric. That’s pure projection on the part of Europeans. We just take 30 seconds to look up a conversion and then get the fuck on with our lives.
Europeans flying into an incoherent rage when they see imperial units is just pathetic and childish.
I think you’re taking the trollface in the meme a bit too literally. It’s annoying and unnecessary, and can cause mistakes that wouldn’t have been possible otherwise. Ahem, the Mars Climate Orbiter is a good example of a particularly costly one.
Nobody is flying into an incoherent rage. It’s merely annoying having to accommodate the outdated quirks of one country. You having to do the opposite is quite reasonable on the other hand, because you’re not accommodating the conventions of one country, but those of the rest of the world.
Mostly it’s just people discussing whether flour should be measured by mass or volume. Jokes about using some mcburgers per football field -esque satirical units, some joke about using moles instead. Some comment about a funny misspelling in the meme. Nobody is flying into an incoherent rage.
