If the date format is not YYYY-MM-DD it can fuck right off.
My favorite thing about this date format is using it in file names. Sorting the files by name also sorts them by date.

I know that they use that format in daily life in Asia but to me it's the "computer format" for this exact reason.
Everything is right about it:
I can't even comprehend how dumb this image is.
Doesn't that make you dumber than the image?
100 feet in 0.27373616263 fence posts
I actually agree that the metric system has nice round numbers, but this graphic is a hilarious rebuttal to the first one that just draws pictures to make their preferred system look like it fits into the pretty pictures.
Two can play at that game, lol.
Eh.. The graph shows
"Inches in 8.33 feet", and those 3's will go on forever like 8.333333333333..
Its clearly meant to be a shitpost.
Fuck yeah. Because 100 being the temperature of a random woman measured during her menstrual cycle totally makes sense.
Ey! It was the blood temperature of a horse before that, okay?! So it's not as if there were no improvements made at all! /s
This is cursed. I love it
Thanks! I hate it.
But in all honesty, this is almost like being inside a Canadian's brain. I have to translate back and forth at work all the time, and even cooking involves converting things back and forth. I have no idea how many drams to a gallon, so I'll convert ounces to mL, then scale as necessary, and then convert back to US customary because the measuring cups and spoons are labelled in American.
Same, as a Canadian I wish we just had everything in metric instead of 70% of things. If systems of units were money, metric would be paying with dollars and cents, while imperial is paying with sheep and bars of gold.
I also hate that we are loosey goosey with date formats. What day is 07/08/23??? I hate that the US uses MM/DD/YY format but at least they are consistent about it.

😆 I'm totally stealing this.
It's like we're in a weird limbo between the two. Metric for distance, except height which is in feet and inches. Grams for weight, except for human weight it's pounds (or sometimes not). Celsius for temperatures, but ovens use farenheight. Just pick one goddammit!
I love the mental gymnastics which have gone into the making of this infographic. Gold!
I like that every bar has a different scaling.
Nice shitpost, op
Don't Americans normally say "4th of July"?
Only when referring to July 4th.
I thought this post was funny until I read the comments.
I actually like fahrenheit for weather. 0 is really fucking cold, 100 is really fucking hot.
Works for Celsius as well. 0°C is damn cold, and 100°C is damn hot weather.
I have always hated this argument. If that were the case, then 50 would be the most comfortable temperature and it's not. This scale is about 20 degrees off since most everybody prefers a temperature of about 70 F.
Well... that goes for Celsius, too :P
60% of the time it works every time.
"Base 12" is nice because it is easy to divide into halves, quarters, thirds as whole numbers. The rest is a bit of a mess though, I guess.
Professionals have standards! Community for all proponents, defenders and junkies of the Metric (International) system, the ISO standards (including ISO 8601) and other ways of standardization or regulation!
