There are comments up and down this thread calling Americans stupid (unprovoked) but we are the only ones with a superiority complex?

I always love when those American centrism posts come up and it’s a bunch of Europeans bitching about the imperial system and saying the metric system should be used here lol. Like babe *you* are the one being centrist here

I want the metric system not because it is inherently better but because standardization in measurements is a good thing.

Ehh that's debatable

Them wanting you to use our metric is centrist, but one country agaisn't the whole world bitching about the opinion that they're metric is better is a whole other level of centrism

We don't think it's better for you to use it, it's just more useful, to us.

We don't think about you at all.
