I have an idea for the American government:

You should switch to the #MetricSystem. This would cut gas prices instantaneously.

Oh, ich mag aktive online Kalender/Uhren und diese Seite hier zeigt aktuelles Tagesdatum und Uhrzeit in diversen Zeitsystemen an, zuoberst modifizierte Julianische Tageszahl:

Sieht vom Design her ziemlich nach Claude Opus aus, wenn ich mal meine eigene Kreation (metrischer Kalender/Uhrzeit) daneben halte:

Is there a pro-metric US group on Mastodon? Can't seem to find one but open to creating one if there's interest. Have personally converted to metric.
