The Lemmy community really has made me much more conscious of providing both sets of units. The ratio of non-US people I talk with here feels so much higher than anywhere else I’ve participated online, and if I want everyone to appreciate the grandeur of these birds, the very larger or very small especially, I shouldn’t have to make anyone work extra to get that.

Most of what I grab is localized for whatever region the photographer is from, so I always try to remember to insert the other set of numbers. After I posted this one, I saw I had missed it during my post prep, and it felt especially hypocritical to have the Eurasian Eagle Owl units be only in imperial measure! 🥴

Imperial has some stupid units, but it’s the only thing I can visualize for the most part, cooking and hardware being limited exceptions. It’s not like anyone ever asked me what units I want to use for my entire life at any point! 😇
