1000 meters
Everyone else in the world knows.
there stupid in 'murica thanks to the most funded education system in history. they can't of figured out the difference between pronouns and preposition and don't seem to know about 'contractions' either or they would of not said any of these deliberate grammatical errors i just made in this paragraph/sentence to ridicule them. i have not seen more than maybe 1 out of 12 americans type correct english grammar. even people who otherwise appear to possess a fair degree of intelligence. clearly there was nothing being taught in their "english" classes. also the most funded medical system in the world and they are fatter and sicker than anyone else. more money = less quality. the 'murican way. i should probably add that the americans who i found to have the best language skills were southerners, south eastern, even: texans, georgians, floridans. it's embarrassing to english speakers in the rest of the world, nobody is as poorly educated in their own language than americans.
Mesures how many kills you've made. IDK I am not european
To be specific, road kill. You'll find the "km" signs along the road as you drive. If you don't roadkill at least that number of beasts, the cameras see it and they fine you.
And I wounder why so many people complain for all the fines. All my life I haven't had any fines
And this is me ordering coffee at Starbucks in the US. https://image.nostr.build/f7498f27a1e6d61f4ed8252b364af2e54e5c7fae188c5272379bb9f4b1e861d0.jpg
All hail the metric system! https://image.nostr.build/55e0a4397cfae03200c5d62c6a1b5bc30417eb96c6765a331cb75e760de81b42.jpg
They still prefer to measure the speed of light in "furlongs per fortnight" or "glazed donuts per bald eagle".
The only contact I have with it is in football. Yard 0,91m and Inch 2,54cm WTF Once a week. That must be enough. ^^
Problem here is the meter. Miles are more common for the American lads.
Chatgpt about this: Yes, Americans are familiar with the concept of a meter. While the primary system of measurement in the U.S. is the customary or imperial system (which includes units like miles, feet, inches, pounds, and gallons), the metric system is also taught in schools and is used in specific contexts. For example: 1. Scientific research in the U.S. often uses the metric system. 2. The 2-liter soda bottle is a common product size, and it's metric. 3. Tools and machinery, especially those imported or designed for international markets, often have measurements in metric units. 4. Track and field events, like the 100-meter dash, use metric distances. 5. Nutrition labels on food products sometimes include both metric and customary measurements. However, in everyday life and for many practical purposes (like driving distances, personal height and weight, and cooking in many households), Americans tend to use the customary system. So, while Americans might not think in meters as instinctively as they do in feet or miles, they are generally aware of and understand the metric system to some extent.
They discovered civilization
Imagine measuring distances without using your feet or belt or honestly don't know where it all originates from
all the people in green explaining to the people in red what a kilometer is https://image.nostr.build/c15d7b94064e6bd31dc7364207f29dbf2d8bf4addffd6bbcbfec213a0ce0a557.png
Americans invading other countries be like. ‘What the fuck is sovereignty’
A kilometer is a couple of Celsius heavier than a mile.
It's 1000 meters, Jameson. I thought you knew about this...
WHAT THE FUCK IS A METER
100 CENTIMETERS JAMESON. I THOUGHT YOU KNEW ABOUT THIS…
it's approximately the same as 2 eagles riding a glock on a sunny day
Problem is Americans use both in their daily life. Just give up the crappy one
