Looks expensive. The grey ones are the broken ones.

      If “European countries” excludes most European countries then yes European countries didn’t use acres.

      Bitch it was the romans who “invented” most of the units.

      And unless I see y’all adopting metric time in the near future I frankly don’t want to hear about how oh so stupid anyone who isn’t doing metric is.

      Plus there’s just the idiocy of it being base 10 when base 36 is so much better, uses the whole keyspace of numerals and latin alphabet letters, “10” is a perfect square that’s the product of two other perfect squares, plus “10” has 9 factors, it has a number of factors equal to one of the perfect squares that it factors into!

        Huh I didn’t realise there were people who might actually prefer imperial. I thought it was just sort of grandfathered in for many people. To me metric just makes more intuitive sense. But I’ll use both.

        Metric time I don’t care for and I don’t think anyone is seriously using.

        It’s good when the people of eternal Rome use the old measurements, for they were the citizens of the coolest empire of our time.

        It’s not good when the americant’s use it to measure screaming eagles per burger or something. 🧐
