    no no don’t look at us focus back on america

    in all seriousness it gets worse when you consider age then the one for are you weighing people needs another split for are you under 40 split for metric and imperial also cows milk can be litres too if it’s lacto free or organic speed is also tracked in kmph for bikes I think though not sure my bike defaulted to that though had to fix it to mph cause I couldn’t understand it distance might have an age split too as I think of distance in kilometres but I know my gramie thinks in miles but I don’t know on that but I know there was a study that showed the split between age groups on weight of people that showed 30 but it was a bit ago not sure how long so I just said 40 the road signs are in miles and yards so maybe it’s a driver vs not thing

    also canada’s even more disgusting atleast we’re consistent on celsius canada changes between fahrenheit and celsius for different things

          I’ve never seen fahrenheit or miles in Canada.

          The only thing we fuck around with is human weight/height in imperial, and I blame that on US TV.

          My milk is in litres. My rice is in kilos. I drive in kilometres and the distance is in ‘klicks’. Our mountains are thousands of metres tall.

            ok well one of my online friends is from canada and is constantly switching between fahrenheit and celsius for different things so maybe it’s different parts of canada
