    Probably because whoever made the meme knows it’s used in Europe but not what measuring systems other countries use. I also didn’t know what measuring systems other countries used, but know that usually Europeans might use metric. I didn’t think hard about it. I saw a meme that did not seem to be misleading and seemed unlikely to offend or cause despair and hopelessness, I decided to post it here. Thanks for the information that I didn’t know.

    Also, I wouldn’t mind having US schools teach metric so we can shift to it, but alas I am not a politician and cannot make a unilateral decision for the whole country. While I can bug them to support such a measure, we unfortunately have bigger fish to fry right now. I’m just trying to post levity to help people get through the day, because that matters too.
