metric system

For all the Americans, metric conversion can be a challenge. Honestly its better when it happens at times like this rather than something like miscalibrated airplane parts. Still, sacks on sacks of 12.5 Kilos of bird seed is a whole lot of bird seed. We all make mistakes. Here are some of people's dumbest purchases.

Let's take it back to the entertaining AskReddit thread that centered on how Americans feel about switching to the metric system. The opinions vary. Some folks are quite resistant to the idea of change, while others are all for it. Gotta love the silly wordplay that transpired as well. 

Someone on AskReddit asked how Americans felt about switching over to the metric system. Unfortunately (or fortunately) they forgot to make sure it brought serious replies only. So, a whole lot of wordplay ensued, and maybe a few honest replies. 

Scottish Twitter user, @innesck, went OFF in this rant about the madness of America's measurement system. And the Twitter thread that ensues is nothing short of highly entertaining! Never knew how badly I needed the answer to this question, he asks at one point: 'how many Fahrenheit are in a cup?'
