  I seriously hope this is a troll post, but after reading the whole thing and seeing the location of the one signature, I'm not sure anymore.

    Yeah can be summed as: "lets think of another way for the world to laugh at the US"
  • bobdvb 14y ago
    Agreed.

  A modest proposal indeed.

  Did /r/murica get word of the metric thing?
• consultutah 14y ago
  That is seriously hilarious. I wish there were some way that it could get the needed number of votes so that the white house has to respond. They could simple post a photo of the president sticking his tongue out.

  1km = 1e3m = 1e5cm = 1e6mm 1tonne = 1e3kg = 1e6g = 1e9mg 10cm^3 = 1L 1s = 1e3ms 1kg * 1m^2 / 1s^2 = 1J = 1N * 1m = 1Pa * 1m^3 = 1W * 1s [km]:kilometer, [m]:meter, [cm]:centimeter, [mm]: millimeter, [J]:Joule, [N]:Newton, [Pa]:Pascal, [W]:Watt, [L]: Litre, [kg]:kilogram, [g]:gram, [mg]:milligram, [ms]milliseconds Now do that with the imperial system.

  Does he also not know that the scientific community uses the metric system?
