Americans will use anything but a metric rule
(lemmy.world)
There’s… a food establishment named Runza?
I've had the Runza time or two. It wasn't that great.
Probably because they measure their recipes in giraffes and wingspans.
The namesake sandwiches aren't very good, but I firmly believe it's the best burger you can get in a drive through.
They are the epitome of a grease bomb. Very tasty, but oh so greasy.
Looks like it's in Nebraska
I mean, it's in the picture...
The rumza is in the picture?
How much is that in bananas?
Yes
Was watching a British show and they were describing things in inches.
America is very anti metric, but it's not like every other country out there is exclusively metric.
The Brits still use stone as unit of measurement for weight. I get bashing us here in the US for not using metric but at least we’re rigid in our stupid system. The Brits seem to be a certain kind of special when it comes to units of measurement, using whatever system they feel like depending on the circumstance.
Is the rest of Europe strictly metric, or are most countries a complete mess like this but just like feeling smug?
They're special. Let 'em be special. It keeps things interesting.
