Also, those motherfuckers are measuring the weight of those balls in kilograms, aren't they?

Doesn't the reason why the avg US citizen wants imperial units boil down to "sounds cooler"?
Kilometer vs Miles, the ~~former~~ latter sounds easier and cooler to work with
Centimeter vs inch, same.
How will they now call a two by four?
It's kind of the same for the pro gun arguments, it all boils down to "but guns are cool toys!"
Edit: fixed a duuuhhh
They’ll be happy to know the metric system also has miles.
10 km = 1 mile (metric mile)
I have never heard of metric miles, did you make that up?
Also known as the Scandinavian mile. It is very commonly used in Sweden and Norway to describe long distances.
Before the introduction of the metric system, there were many local miles. Some a bit shorter than 10km, some a bit longer.
Ah, perhaps not as standard as I thought!
Good to know
