This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

It's weird that they wrote miles instead of kilometers
I would walk 804.672 kilometres just doesn't have the same ring to it
The UK uses miles. They mostly use the metric system, but there are a few cases where they use the imperial system (like distance)
And assume online that everyone else does.
Other languages have words to describe lengths in a more "poetic" way.
In Spanish we have "leguas" which I'm sure was a unit of length, but gun to my head, can't tell how far one is.
