        M ≠ m in metric. Example: 1 MB = 1000 kB

          M ≠ m in metric

          Maybe not in academic notation, but in every day writing, it ABSOLUTELY is used as it and Mm isn’t used for kilometer anywhere lol

          Also, since we’re nitpicking, 5190 rounds to 5200, not 5100 😛

      I mean, there’s probably thousands of places along the route where you can make a turn in order to head towards Gibraltar 🤷

        The bridge is already occupied by the E20.

      So does the Pan American Highway, but if we are willing to call that 30,000 km, i am willing to give the Euros their 5,000 km highway to feel important.

        The circumference of the planet is 40,000 km. If you made a highway and it’s 30,000 km long you fucked up.

        The Panama Canal has a bridge over it, correct? Where is the ferry required? The Darien Gap?

      Should just move San Francisco to Finnmark and Vegas to Sicily, then. It’s just easier that way 🤷

      The length of the E45 route from Finnmark to Sicily is a little under 3.5 million Danny DeVitos…is DEFINITELY a unique sentence 😄

Americans will use anything but metric

The Rules:

  1. Posts must be a screenshot, crosspost, or link to someone using a bizarre unit of measurement (33 lanes wide, as heavy as 10 semi-trucks, etc.)

  2. Standard units are not allowed, unless it’s a sufficiently bizarre usage of the unit (this is up to mod discretion.)

  3. Intentionally terrible units are completely fine! Satire is welcome here

  4. Curses are fine, slurs are not. If there are slurs in something you want to post, please blur them, or reconsider posting.

  5. Flag NSFW content as such. NSFW words in these posts don’t need to be censored.

  6. Post titles should be just the unit of measurement used (not the thing being measured!), and should be the full name of the unit (Apples and Bags of Apples imply very different things!) NSFW units should be partially censored. If there are multiple units, list as many as you want. If the source is satire, the title should start with [Satire]

  7. In the comments be civil, both to each other AND the subject of posts.

Mod Policy:

  • All removes and bans will have a reason provided, and locked threads will have a stickied comment explaining the lock.
  • Currently, this is just policy. If more mods join, these will become rules for mods. (Can’t exactly punish myself, can I?)
