It's common knowledge America is not fond of the Metric System. However, over recent years on social media, the USA have seemed to develop their own, rather creative measuring system consisting of rhinos, bananas, and salesforce buildings...

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

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

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.

A lot of these seemed like they were either just trying to make it fun for children or give something familiar as a reference, some were just pure stupididty though

I like that Celsius makes sense because it's based on the boiling and freezing points of water. But I grew up with Fahrenheit. There's a simplicity: 0°F is cold enough to be dangerous, and 100°F is hot enough to be dangerous. Seek shelter.

I'm not really sure what you're trying to achieve but 0°C is cold enough to be dangerous and 100°C is hot enough to be dangerous as well.

what is with the american hate. my bad for not being able to get a mental grasp on a measuring tool that i haven’t used my whole life. me personally it’s easier to measure using “football fields” and even “bananas”. i get that it’s supposed to be funny, but i hate it when America is always the butt of the joke.

"not being able to get a mental grasp on a measuring tool that i haven’t used my whole life" is not that but the fact you guys use "things" instead of USCS. Why would you use bananas instead of, let's say, inches or feet? I think you have a grasp on that, don't you?
