Americans Will Use Anything But The Metric System, And Here Are 18 Examples Of It

Atleast this should be the ray of enlightment.... like just use the metric system already(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

10,000 squared is a hectare! Just saying, stick your miles 😁

our system works fine till we got to convert it to metric THATS where it falls apart

3.6 metres by 4.0 metres. There, does that help?

Because we're whiny babies.

banana for scale plz

I see no problem with this one.

I need this and I'm not even American.

I still need a banana to see if this is accurate!

Most "Murican thing I have ever seen!

They really said: 🧍🦅🧍

This is funny, but it's just a social distancing joke. I once saw one that had two silhouettes of Jeremy Clarkson and it said to "Keep at least 2 Peel P50s apart".

"How tall are you?" "3 guinea pigs, 2 ferrets tall" "oh sorry, i like people who are above 3 guniea pigs, 2 ferrets and one hamster tall"

My husband was six feet tall. When our kids were growing up, we used him as a unit of measurement. "The garden is three Daddies long." " You need to need a half a Daddy's worth of space between that box and the wall."

Ok but this one just seems like its trying to make it a fun little way or thinking about it for kids and grownups alike. I don't see anything wrong with that, along with a lot of the other ones (not the washing machine one that one is stupid) but the social distancing ones seem fine to me

If this at a zoo or something similar, I can u derstand then.

Ok so like i said on the rhino one some are stupid... yeah, this one is stupid, it doesn't even work in the sense of giving me something familiar to compare it to because 100 pugs is such an absurd thing to think about

PUGS 🥰🥰🥰

Is the Jerusalem Post from the US?

Pugocalypse

Nooooo! Don't thwack the little fuzz ball with a bat!

As a baseball player, I'm gonna pretend I like this one...

When you have to try and make social distancing fun in a world of broken hearts, disease, and crabby people ...

Ok I'll stop saying it after this one but it seems like its just a fun one not avoidance of the metric system

CANADA GEESE NOT CANADIAN!

This one is fake, nase uses the metric system, unless it's the hight above the ground.

I'm told two things instantly by this. It's small and it's dense. Most people can only visualize in pictures. It's how we're wired. Math is clumsy to the human brain, so why not compare it with images in your head which we use our senses instead of doing that math in our brain.

Comparing meteors or comets to animals is stupid. I live in America.

who cares, this happy face is the most important thing to notice :D

But what a happy pup!

I will now measure everything by this doggo

dogo :)

I thought they would have used football fields or the Status of Liberty for comparison

"how tall are you?" "8 ice creams?" (idk man i tried but idk)

Is this inside a McDonald's? If this is for children that would be i fine, if not this is stupid.

Teaching size relative to other objects is useful ... and apparently delicious!

At least say one scoop. 💀

I thought this was a post about how the U.S. won't use the metric system but this post shows two metric units in use. Grams and milligrams.

A vegetarian walks in.....

This is more a fear tactic from the media for comparison.
