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

I just googled standard washing machine measurements and used that.

Yes, thank you. NO WAIT!! What brand of washing machine were they? Different brands have different sizes.

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

Okay, but 100°C is hot enough to die almost instantly, and taking a short walk outside at 0°C is not cold enough to harm without much more protection than a jacket.

I’m two hamsters tall.

Hard to change what you’re used to.

Okay - this looks like a zoo, and is a fun way for kids to learn social distancing and the true size of rhino. I like it!!

Why is weight circled?

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

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

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

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

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

Its not our fault that our society uses it though, a lot of us wish we could just have simple math like that but we're stuck with this so we need wacky ways of remembering

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

Perfect example of Americans not using the weather. I do not care if you are American or not. I'm saying this as an American.

3,000 cm?

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

They really said: 🧍🦅🧍

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

"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"

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(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

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

Dont even think about it!

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

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

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

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.
