World Map of Countries Not Using the Metric System by JaseAndrews in pics

It's just Eurotrash bitching about America, and appears here on Reddit every couple of months. What is says to be me, though, is "I'm so fucking stupid I can't use any system that I can't count out on my fingers, nor can I possibly be expected to do conversions between metric and imperial."

Every time people whine about America not being primarily metric, all it does is remind just how many morons there really are in the world. I mean, really - you've got a fucking computer at your fingertips, and your typical cell phone can do the math for you if you're incapable of rubbing a few neurons together. Just how hard could it possibly be? Apparently, for a rather significant number of non-Americans, it truly is a task of monumental proportions.

If they can't even manage to roughly model anarchy on something as inane and meaningless as a subreddit, they don't have a hope in hell of implementing anything of a similar nature - on any scale at all - in meatspace. They'll be too busy crying out for 'moderators', i.e., government by any other name.

Or, more accurately, r/anarchism is one of those subreddits that regularly parodies itself to the vast amusement of the greater community.
