minus-squareEonNShadow@pawb.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up14·4 days agoWe measure drugs, pools, and PC temps in metric Grams for drugs unless it’s seized by the police, then it’s kilos 😂 Pools in meters (or yards depending on location) And PC temps are always Celsius Metric isn’t scary, we just use it for random things and it makes no sense We also do alcohol in ml (750ml bottles are standard) unless it’s beer which is usually in 12oz cans.
