Comic strip of a ghost and a person with the American flag pasted on the head. The ghost repeats "Boo!" in the first three panels without getting any reaction, but when it in the fourth panel says "kg, cm, km, °C" the American gets scared and screams "AHHHH!!!".

Europeans acting smug like knowing how close to boiling the temperature is is more important than knowing how close to 100% hot out the temperature is.

What's even worse is that when they use SI units they don't even spell them right. They write meters whereas the rest of the world writes metres

[–] VinnieFarsheds@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Nah, in Dutch it's meter (plural: meters) too

spelling is hard why make it harder by spelling it "metres"

[–] aquasteel@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

To help distinguish metre, as in length, from a meter, as in volt-meter.

[–] lnee@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

Thats why we call it a volt-meter, or amp-meter or a parking-meter.
