      How ironic. I guess you haven’t been on Reddit in the past decade.

      Bananas aren’t uniform in length, unlike a fixed standard. Metric is more convenient in scientific or mathematic contexts where conversions are much easier to make with it, but there’s nothing disqualifying Imperial from being uses as a general system for measuring distance.

      And before you dunk on me for being a dumb American, I’m German. I’m just also not a moron nor an asshole with a misplaced superiority complex over something as trivial as units of measurement.

      Unless you wanna talk about MM/dd/yy, stick to the public transport topic. You had a valid point there before you smeared it with stupid shit.
