America: The country that forces you to learn an obsolete measurement system because we can't grow out of it, but you'll never need it unless interacting with an American.
@spiderrobotpig people want to bring back obsolete measuring systems here to even though no one under ~60 understands it. They also want to bring back incandescent lightbulbs for some bizarre reason.
@geekylou People are so weird ugh
@spiderrobotpig yea, also another thing we still have are distances and things which aren't metric but no one gets taught much about how imperial measurements works anymore. I ended up highly confused by a road sign the over day when I forgot 1000yards isn't a mile.
@geekylou @spiderrobotpig that sounds super complicated.
At least everything here is still in imperial, even though it's awful.
5120 FEET IN Q MILE
@geekylou WHY
