Ah yes, the endless march to turn humanity into a singular blob of consistent units of nature, under a banner of the opposite.
The entire world uses metric units apart from America, Libya and Myanmar. https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/countries-that-use-imperial https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/countries...
What I absolutely love about this fact is that America is still using British Imperial units. After literally having a war over whether or not the US should be independent of British rule, you're still holding on to our measuring system despite the rest of the world moving on.
