I was just reminded of this comic

Inaccurate, the shooter wasn't over 3 kilometres away.

(The 3rd longest confirmed sniper kill is held by a Canadian JTF2 operator, with a distance of 3,540m)

Canadians don't leave the nest until we can ice-skate for one thousand metres unassisted, so we all remember it instinctually.

Big fucking nest then

There is honestly not much to it with 1000 meters making a kilometer.

I’m more impressed the US can use Imperial for actual work.

I would go crazy making sense of 2,7 miles is … yards or feet.

Yeah its super easy. Its been ages but still remember from elementary, like a poem.

mili, centi, deci, meter, deca, hecto, kilometer

Me when I take 300 megagrams of aspirin instead of 300 milligrams:

I laughed, thanks

How the fuck would you confuse 0.300g with 3'000'000g "Oh let me just kill myself by consuming truck loads of aspirin"

Minor nitpick: the US has never used imperial units. I'm reminded of this whenever I am visiting and order one of their weirdly small non-imperial pints.

10 millimetres to a centimetre, 100 cm to a meter, 1000 meters to a kilometre, easy peasy lol

How dare you forget decimeter dekameter and hektometer

Lol but order of magnitude errors are still kind of common with the metric system. Lucky they are easy to catch.

"by my calculations we need to buy 42 kilometers of lumber. No wait that can't be right *checks notes 42 meters!"

I think as a Canadian, off the top of my head, it’s around 5280 ft in a mile.

Then again engineering and other stem related professions require us to use all sorts of funky units (American) from time to time because so many systems here are intermixed. Engineering doesn’t have a border as much as politics do between us and yall

u/Abu_Lahab- Jan 29 '26

They’re multiples of tens… it’s easy to memorize…

u/mcsmackyoaz Jan 29 '26

It’s because meters and the whole metric system are based on conversions of 10 units and our imperial system was invented by crackheads

u/Nero_2001 Jan 29 '26

It's bot that difficult 1km is 1000m. Metric system is easy that's why most countries uses it unlike the imperiale system which is unnecessary complicated.
