You might have noticed. It's kind of our thing, doing things differently from the rest of the world for no good reason.

Different measuring system

Different cars

Different health care system

Different social ethics

Different system of government

Very few trains

We're just a bunch of silly dumbasses here.

I mean there is a good reason.... And that reason is, which I will state in this comment, is that the reason is very good in terms of the fact that hereby unto forthwith hence that reason is valid.

Of course then when you ask how tall a bicycle is they'll tell you it's about as tall as a deer. Damn useless

Round 'bout two dogs worth of cheese, yeah.

Thank you, I have a good sense of the height now.

So what you're saying is, I can make 800 venison hamburgers from a single deer? Nice.

If you like eating every single piece, guts, brains, bones and all, sure go for it 👍

To be fair: if anyone's going to intuitively know the weight of 800 hamburgers, Americans are it. :)

Also, I'm not entirely opposed to using "every day" analogies for stuff like this.
