Comment on Tiddies are nice but the metric system is better

  You’re talking to an American. They use anything but a logical system. To explain to them what, a kilometer is, you need to put yourself in their position and go from that. Let me help:

  A kilometer is:

  • 167 Ford F-150’s,
  • 1,150 dishwashers,
  • 5,556 bibles,
  • 5,263 bananas,
  • 1,250 AR-15’s,
  • 0.62 miles,
  • 3,281 feet,
  • 39,370 inches,
  • etc.

  To make sense to an American, you need to not make any sense. This includes swapping the period and comma around in numbers, but you already did that.

    I would call it an upvote, but I will give you +1 Eagle Scream for the accuracy of your AR-15 unit measurement.

      Same accuracy as seen during school shootings, am I right?
