Right, it's the pound sign, not a pound.

everyone makes fun of the usa for US customary units, but actually every country on earth has some bullshit numbering/counting system of its own somewhere and they never get any poo poo for it

like the example given above of great britain using stones and pints and miles but also litres and kilograms and meters depending on the context. at least in america we weigh ourselves in the same units we use for, you know, everything else

or look at this poo poo that india pulls, they don't even write numbers like the rest of the planet

It's true, the USA is the most oppressed and discriminated against country in the world.

But the numbers don't MEAN something totally different, they're just putting the commas in a different place. Like how some countries/languages read phone numbers "twenty three, forty eight, sixteen, three" rather than "two, three, four, eight, one, six, three". Don't try and create some sort of equivalence here it is a dumb hill to die on

It's simple:
Weight in metric except in butchers where it's lbs/ounces and people where it's stone and pounds
Liquid in metric except blood/beer/milk which comes in pints
Small distances in cm/m but larger distances in miles (height is measured in feet and inches and dick is measured in inches)

lol if you're not specifying your dick length in millimeters so you can have a big number

I like to watch CinemaSins and Honest Trailers for all the movies I'm curious about but don't want to watch. It's like Cliff's Notes with commentary notes to use in conversation to "prove you watched it."
When did connections switch from oz/quarters/eighths to grams? That poo poo hosed my head up. :420:

The conversion and unit divisions are way easier when you're working with grams

Nah, that's a 2nd or 3rd date question like "Which way do you hang the toilet paper?" and "Do you have any extreme fetishes that I need to know about before this goes any further?"
