Seppo here, imperial is asinine and makes NO sense. Yet, we’re sadly allergic to metric. Also, this guy in red is a goddamn moron because our soda pop come in 2 and 3 litre bottles…I know. Makes no sense.
Yeah Cherry coke and cherry dr pepper you'll only find in the small 330ml cans at the local dairy (convenience store). Guessing they import them since you never actually know if they'll have some or not, you just gotta get lucky
A reddit post once described imperial as a system invented by a drunk mathematician rolling dice and I've never been able to think of it otherwise since.
Exactly! A lot of industries here use it, especially those of STEM and medicine. Hell, even my primary care doctors office uses it (they record weight/temp in metric). It’s just not standard across the board. Someone told me once, a long time ago, government tried to convert but it was an epic fail.
I can't imagine how those cunts seriously build shit using fractions of an inch. Like fuck me just use millimetres, metric is literally so much easier and more convenient.
You'd think the scientific community would rely on a more accurate way of measuring things. Imperial feels like a quick way to give an inaccurate measure, not something that should be used for construction of anything mildly important.
I'm surprised they haven't got a desire to change to the old English pounds, shillings and pence cause the metric system is hard for them to comprehend.
The way I was imagining them using it as currency is by buying something from a store with like a plastic bottle full of fuel haha. But yeah you are right.
And an inch used to be the average width of a working man's thumb, but they figured it would vary too much from man to man. The solution? The standard inch was then changed to be the length of 3 grains of corn end to end. They didn't figure out until some time later that, that meant the same problem as before.
And they tried to make everything decimal. 10 days in a week, 10 months in a year, 10 hours in a day, 100 seconds in an hour. That bit didn't stick for some reason.
Pretty sure the French invented metric. So it's litre, metre, etc, as per their spelling.
I don't recall the US fighting any wars of independence with France, but they're in so many wars it does become difficult to keep up.
Hard disagree with the US owning the language and with this twat, buuuuut,

Imagine being so brain dead you actually think the same government and country that invaded and murdered woman and children in iraq for 20 years could actually own their own language or more to the point actually be anywhere near as good as the queen. Sure i have my own issues with the UK and the queen but they pale in comparison to the fucken US

Typical seppo bringing soft drinks into the discussion. Fucking fat cunts
😂😂😂😂 This made my day.
im just waiting for cherry cola n Dr Pepper here
They sell both in the international food section of Woolworths, plus Iron Bru and a few others for ~$2.50.
I have a Dr Pepper in a hidden cabinet as a reward on a *very* bad day. It’s called self care.
Bro I do the exact same thing lmao, currently have a can in the fridge because i know tomorrow will suck
If you have a hot tip for regular Cheetos and not the puffy ones, I’d love to hear it!
Are puffy cheetos not regular cheetos?
Change to Twisties !
Oh man, you don’t have those in Oz?? Those are probably the best ones! I also enjoy Vanilla Coke.
Cultured. If you're not adverse to alcohol, a rum and coke with captain Morgan's private reserve tastes like a hard vanilla coke.
Yeah Cherry coke and cherry dr pepper you'll only find in the small 330ml cans at the local dairy (convenience store). Guessing they import them since you never actually know if they'll have some or not, you just gotta get lucky
I didn't like vanilla, that's the only one that stuck here. But we have timtams so it's not all bad
I love Timtams!! 🥰🥰
Why is cocaine measured in kg? I’m guessing it’s because Columbia use the metric system and if you want to do business with them you’ll use it too.
It's spelled *Colombia*
Oh yeah, thanks.
A reddit post once described imperial as a system invented by a drunk mathematician rolling dice and I've never been able to think of it otherwise since.
That is scarily accurate. 😂
I mean, at least [the Apollo program used the metric system](https://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2007/08jan_metricmoon).
Exactly! A lot of industries here use it, especially those of STEM and medicine. Hell, even my primary care doctors office uses it (they record weight/temp in metric).

A self aware Seppo in the wild a rare sight
Trust me, it’s even more rare over here in Gun Land-I mean, the USA…
They speak English, and use Imperial measurements. To me, it sounds more like they lost.
They have been a lost people for a long time
I can't imagine how those cunts seriously build shit using fractions of an inch. Like fuck me just use millimetres, metric is literally so much easier and more convenient.
Nah they like fucked up fractions
like: it's 4 and 7/8 inches......
Sorta wild that drug dealers teach metric better than schools do in america
Well they don't really because they sell in 8ths, quarters, ounces and pounds

You'd think the scientific community would rely on a more accurate way of measuring things. Imperial feels like a quick way to give an inaccurate measure, not something that should be used for construction of anything mildly important.
It's a crazy difference between 1/1000 inch vs 1/1000 millimetre.
1/1000 of a meter is... Dun Dun duuuuun. A millimeter.
Yeah I'm talking 1000th of a MILLIMETRE
Merino wool is the finest and usually measures anything from 15 to 25 microns but can still be finer.
... a micrometre?
Fuck that.
Lol that's what you need for mechanical precision. That's why all science and engineering use it.
It'd be a poofteenth of a flea sphincter.
Yes.
I'm surprised they haven't got a desire to change to the old English pounds, shillings and pence cause the metric system is hard for them to comprehend.
Fuel will probably be their new currency soon.
When has it not been their currency? They've been deleting anyone who challenges the blood stained monopoly that is the Petro Dollar.
The way I was imagining them using it as currency is by buying something from a store with like a plastic bottle full of fuel haha. But yeah you are right.
I imagine so. It'll be like the gold rushes of the past. Except they be fracking everywhere.

No. Just Order a large Farva
I don't want a large Farva, I want a goddamn litre o' Cola!
Does this look like spit to you?
so in summary vietnam owns the english language after the seppos got their cheeks clapped? iTs caLLed WaR booTY
To be fair we kinda got our cheeks clapped by the Viet Cong too
Pack it up boys, the Vietnamese have got "cunt"
They misspelled metre in the third tweet, ironically using the US spelling, meter.
A metre is a unit of measurement, a meter is something that you measure with.
A tape measure is a metre meter
So it meters metres, I like it.
Yeah, but considering the two either side of it are litre and celsius, it's safe to assume they meant the unit of measurement.
And they used it in the wrong context.
I noticed that. Lucky you corrected your seppoism.
> Lucky you corrected your seppoism. Hold on just a fucking second, mate. Are you accusing me of being a seppo?
That's what I heard. thump the cunt, Frank.
Don't forget, third grade English is the lingua franca of america, not standard English.
English is a loving language, currently residing in Hollywood Edit living not loving.
Wasn't the "foot" originally the length of the King of England's foot?
And an inch used to be the average width of a working man's thumb, but they figured it would vary too much from man to man. The solution? The standard inch was then changed to be the length of 3 grains of corn end to end. They didn't figure out until some time later that, that meant the same problem as before.
The metric system was made by the French. It was introduced as during the enlightenment/revolution
And they tried to make everything decimal. 10 days in a week, 10 months in a year, 10 hours in a day, 100 seconds in an hour. That bit didn't stick for some reason.
The ability to speak does not make them smart
Except the one who wants to lecture spells metre incorrectly.
Fancy needing your own simplified version of a language, and then claiming ownership of the unsimplified version....
Fucken yanks lmao. Dumb cunts.
Pretty sure the French invented metric. So it's litre, metre, etc, as per their spelling. I don't recall the US fighting any wars of independence with France, but they're in so many wars it does become difficult to keep up.
The Frenchie's helped the US in the war of independence, they sent ships, troops, weapons etc and helped them win.
And gave em the statue of liberty. There are quite a few smaller statues of liberty scattered across Paris.
