World: Can the US please just use the metric system, instead of making up weird measurements no one else understands

US:

@RobertMaguire
'How much does a baby elephant weigh again?'
'As much as three large tortoises.'
'Ah yes, thanks.'

@ElBeeToots

It's not all that different from the rod, links and chains they made us learn in English public schools.

So long as the US keeps good care of their reference corgi, small boulder and baby elephant, which I assume are held safe in the Smithsonian, I'm pretty ok with it.

@RobertMaguire

@teledyn @ElBeeToots @RobertMaguire Well I guess, this works fine with boulders. However, baby elephants and corgies tend to change their size and weight over time. When fed well they tend to increase both, otherwise the opposite happens... down to a mere skeleton. So a rigid diet plan has to be established, which by all means has to be followed to the last cricket of food.

@agitatra This looks like some solid and thought-through theory.

@agitatra

I know. It's tricky. What makes matters worse is there are so few shops where you can get your corgi properly calibrated πŸ˜”
