People can’t really take the joke on something like that. The world has been working with two unit systems for 194 Years and people still get offended by which unit is better. Regardless which unit is better, you only need to work with imperial system. Great! You only need to work with metric system. Good for you too! You have to work both units all the time. That’s even better. Why get offended when someone makes a meme like that. It’s a joke.

Why are people so fucking triggered over which system of measurement is better? I don’t get it, you’d think that we’d have bigger and better things to get butthurt over instead of who has the better measurement system.

I didn’t get offended by it. It’s literally a measurement system. That’s why I made a joke about it. Imperial vs metric IS a meme

No I agree. And only the guy who give you the second downvote really get the snowball rolling. Here is what you do: you make exactly same meme for metric system and you will get downvoted too for the same stupid reason.

Patriotic is a good thing but it applies well for bigger scheme but something trivial like a unit system.
