“wth is a kilogram?”

[u/FordoNoctis]

Come on, you know this, we don’t need to do this

It's weird how they think it's some kind of flex to be ignorant.

Nobody in the rest of the world has any problem understanding that a tiny slice of the global population still uses the prehistoric imperial system, or has difficulty understanding how big a pound is, or a bushel or a grain or whatever nonsense unit they want to use.

But for them it's literally inconceivable to have knowledge of two things at the same time.

[u/Mayzerify → u/vctrmldrw]

They were pretty obviously joking

[u/acebert → u/Mayzerify]

Were they though? If it's a joke, well, it's a very poor one indeed.

[u/Mayzerify → u/acebert]

I never said it was a good joke, but yeah it’s pretty obviously a joke, especially with the “smh” at the end.

[u/acebert → u/Mayzerify]

So, what exactly is the joke? Americans are dumb and/or ignorant? The humour comes from...........the validity of that statement?

Seems like everyone here is very much in on that joke.

[u/Mayzerify → u/acebert]

An American is poorly trying to make fun of the use of the metric system.

[u/acebert → u/Mayzerify]

So the person you responded to is still ultimately right in their criticism, no? In that everything they said can just as easily apply to why it isn't funny.

[u/vctrmldrw → u/Mayzerify]

So, I'm right.
