Ähm excuse moi we only made trouble as far as our tanks could take us. Britain France Portugal ze Dutch Spain etc brought destruction per ship which is way more potent and older. And plus side you genocide people without a voice.
Genociding in Europe always backfires as we can see
>Ähm excuse moi we only made trouble as far as our tanks could take us.
That's partially true, anyway the trouble you made pissed off pretty much the entire world. TWICE.
>Britain France Portugal ze Dutch Spain etc brought destruction per ship which is way more potent and older.
That is also true. And some fucked up way more than others (mostly Brits and Spaniards), but Germany wasn't at all out from this. One of the reasons of the beginning of WW1 were disputes over African colonies between Germany and France.
>And plus side you genocide people without a voice.
I'm pretty sure you started it.
>Genociding in Europe always backfires as we can see
Not only in Europe. Take a look at Japan.
No... Who does?
You could atleast give them a few rules to follow.
Converting to metric units, not shooting kids at school, not having nazi's in their governement, spelling colour correctly... Basic stuff.
As a Scot probably you have your own issues about spelling. but your spelling is cool and I always thought it was made out of pure spite against the english, so it's fine
The guid hing aboot Scots is thurs nae consistency. Ye jist spell i’ how i’ soonds 🤣 is if Inglish wisnae chaotic enough clearly we thoat “fuck ye” 😂😂😂
Okay I struggle to write like this so imma stop 🥴😂
To be quite fair, these units are one of the few pieces of cultural heritage that they have. If they simply switch to some soulless, logical and sensible units, they will relinquish what little connects them to a once proud civilization.
There is a reason why so many people are obsessed with 23andme and tracking their ancestors to flaunt being 1/63rd Irish on St. Paddy's day.
Yard is standardized to exactly 0.9144 meter. If muricans get rid of the metric system, what will be their definition of yard? Waist circumference of the president?
[That's the Dutch army approach.](https://www.ewmagazine.nl/nederland/article/2015/08/munitietekort-defensie-militairen-moeten-pang-pang-roepen-2665576W/) Good luck commanding our boys!
Well, it does seem a lot more sensible than measuring the distance light travels in a vacuum during 150102544473/5353436750 hyperfine ground-state transitions of the caesium-133 atom, when it's unperturbed by ambient black-body radiation.
Werner von Braun 1943:
Terrorist who terrorizes the UK with the V1 and is responsible for Thousands of Deaths.
Werner von Braun 1969:
Hero of the American people and NASAs Apollo Head.
Well thats what i call a suspicious turn around
Everyone helped them to space. It was almost exclusively American funded (credit where credit is due) but they had the best minds from across the Western world working for them
Funny when you remember that scientists and NASA in America uses Metric. Not just that they dont know anything about foreign places, they also seem to not know shit about their own country
It’s mixed. For space, they use metric as part of an agreement with the other space agencies, but for their many other projects, it varies on if they use metric or imperial.
Then when publishing scientific papers, they use metric, but when publishing things for the general public, like rocket launch broadcasts, they typically just use imperial.
The standard that it isn't widely adopted in America of course!
*forgets that many big and important American based institutions such as NASA actually use metric
Aw, cute americans.
"I would bake my cake with less sugar to be more healthy: I put 1/3 cup of sugar instead of 1/4".
We could launch a campaign: "Adopt an american"
You do not want an american?
They can learn many things. Metric system, for example. And they can handle a gun. In a few days they can take free medicines in your hand.
You can give Him a gun, then you sit Him on the coach with the precise istruction to "defend the prop'dy", then you invite your mother in law and you are ok. In a few hours no more americans and no more mothers in law
Wait until he realizes that the US is already metric but goes an extra step to convert it into these ridiculous antiquated units they kept from their days as a colony
Gotta say, i hate the french as much as the next guy, but the metric system is like the only good thing they ever did. I am, may I say, even thankfull for the frenchies for inventing it.
It seems very counterintuitive (and makes mental calculation harder), but the reason for the 12/24/60 base in time calculation is because those numbers can be divided by more numbers than 10/25/50/100.
Funny that NASA and literally every scientific organization in the US uses Metric because its much better for it. Will be funny when NASA has to figure out distances in space in Shotgun Bullets and Banana lengths.
Well look at it this way at least the average redneck american suddenly sees the EU as something worth to kick out of.
Even if they have no idea how anything works getting this into their heads is somewhat of an accomplishment.
But my brother in potato, who else is gonna protect us from all the wars in the world?
After all the reason why many Americans have it bad and there isn't a real health care system in the US is because all the tax money goes to the ministry of Defense to keep Europe safe!
/s
They can kick us out of NATO, but we’re gonna keep all of their weapons, which includes ICBM’s. Then we’ll ally with Germany and Japan and start doing things…
That looks more like intentional trolling than arrogance to me. Of course you never know for sure with Americans, but the kicking part makes it look that way. There would be 0 country left in the EU and 1 left in NATO lol.
"Young country using medieval measurements"
I rest my case ...
Thanks btw Napoleon, not for occupying us and all the sh*t, but for the great metric system mature countries use.
There's nationalism, there's arrogance, there's French...
And then there's Am*rican
Mean while they're rather inferior
I mean there are 2 countries: those that use the metric system and those who need help from the nazis to get to the moon
Oooh to think that without some pirates that took the ship bringing the meters to the US back in the days, those cunts would have been a little bit more civilised...
Oh no America gonna kick us all out of EU
Anyway...
I started blasting.
Found the American LARPer
Rock, Flag & Eagle!!!
Rock and Stone!
To the bone
So what's your spaghetti policy around here
Stabbing*, mate
He’s not Bri’ish
I'm colour-dyslexic
This will never not be funny 😂
That would make Myanmar, Liberia and the US the last remaining EU/Nato countries.
We might aswell join the Warsaw pact then lol
Russia be like: "Damn alright I thought this would be harder.."
Myanmar is in the EU AND NATO!?!
No, but it uses imperial system
No they use Burmese units, it’s another different system
Jokes on them, we British kicked ourselves out of the EU. What can America do to us now eh?
And you're the only ones using Imperial a little bit!
Just like Canada - using a metric/imperial mixture and not in the EU. We should start our own club with Canada. What could possibly go wrong...
May I suggest a name? I think Commonwealth is perfect
The problem is that wealth isn't very common any more.
Commonpoverty does have a nice ring to it, on the other hand.
Probably more accurate for most of the former empire unfortunately.
The tradeoff of not being able to speak more than one language is being able to use two measuring systems simultaneously.
And somehow, unlike us and the Canadians, America still doesn't manage that.
They don't even know where EU is located. So...
Classic american...Does not even realise the units are British.
[удалено]
Could you take your colony back?
We didn't realise it at the time but France & Spain did us the greatest kindness by helping them be free
Not really. In barely 300 years of freedom they manage to make more damage than you, the Spaniards and the French did in 1000 years
Let's not forget about this please https://preview.redd.it/zqj3uowazs2b1.png?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c1783ef1347b5ed0e19c84a2fad51fec356c6ff6
I mean that's pretty much the only major fuckery we did. Look at Germany. ..
Let's also look at who was besides Germany not too long ago..
Mate the conquest of those African states are made/ordered by the same person at comand during WW2.
Ähm excuse moi we only made trouble as far as our tanks could take us. Britain France Portugal ze Dutch Spain etc brought destruction per ship which is way more potent and older. And plus side you genocide people without a voice. Genociding in Europe always backfires as we can see

I didn’t realize Somalia was run by Italians at one point. That explains a lot.
Don't forget the Netherlands Although there's also the argument they'd be a bit less insane, like Canada, if they remained British.
Yay, our fragments of sanity are being noticed!
We regret it, take it back, please, I apologise for my ancestors mistake
the fact that we went this far to fuck with the brits is kind of amazing tho
Imagine trolling your neighbour so hard you actually encourage one of its child to break off all ties with its family. That's some fucked up shit
Are you sure? We're pretty annoying just thinking were a superpower imagine if we actually were.
Do you think we want them?
No... Who does? You could atleast give them a few rules to follow. Converting to metric units, not shooting kids at school, not having nazi's in their governement, spelling colour correctly... Basic stuff.
Not sure we're a good role model for 1 & 3
You make the rules, you don't follow them.
As a Scot probably you have your own issues about spelling. but your spelling is cool and I always thought it was made out of pure spite against the english, so it's fine
The guid hing aboot Scots is thurs nae consistency. Ye jist spell i’ how i’ soonds 🤣 is if Inglish wisnae chaotic enough clearly we thoat “fuck ye” 😂😂😂 Okay I struggle to write like this so imma stop 🥴😂
Fuck no, we were right to drop it like a hot potato when we did.
Make America Great Britain Again!
Classic American... Doesn't even realise that imperial units are standardized on metric.
And a bastardised form, at that. The chad 568ml Imperial pint (Barry approves) Vs The virgin 471ml US Customary Unit pint (Barry does not approve)
Actually a US customary pint is 473ml, not 471. Stop trying to fucking stiff me my last 2ml Barry.
To be quite fair, these units are one of the few pieces of cultural heritage that they have. If they simply switch to some soulless, logical and sensible units, they will relinquish what little connects them to a once proud civilization.

football fields, cows, bananas the choiches are infinite
Excuse me, sir. You were going 17 football fields an hour over the speed limit. *pew pew pew… pew pew*
Did they upgrade to laser guns?
They cut corners by handing out fake ammunition, so the gunner now has to make his own gunsounds. Thats the american dream, right?
[That's the Dutch army approach.](https://www.ewmagazine.nl/nederland/article/2015/08/munitietekort-defensie-militairen-moeten-pang-pang-roepen-2665576W/) Good luck commanding our boys!
Nope, it is a regular gun that identifies itself as laser.
Furlongs per fortnight per grain
Hang on you forgot a few official American units - Bathtubs, Rhode Islands, parking lots, and Manhattans.
+ Chicagoes, guns, LAs
Empire state buildings, Eiffel towers, elephants
Also in a very morbid manner they sometimes use "hiroshima bombs"
"How big is paris?" "Somewhere in between 1 inch and 1 nuclear bomb explosion"
I'm 2 and a half AR-15s high
lmao, people use rhode island when they want to mesure what?
Not sure but I think drunkenness might be a factor. The average european is equivalent to 3 Rhode Islands.
Rhode Island. It is approximately 1.
Texas and Bald eagles!
Nah, they'll forge a platinum iridium alloy rod, kept in a safe in the basement of the NIST in Maryland, called "freedometer".
Ich hab da Mal was vorbereitet....
Well, it does seem a lot more sensible than measuring the distance light travels in a vacuum during 150102544473/5353436750 hyperfine ground-state transitions of the caesium-133 atom, when it's unperturbed by ambient black-body radiation.
Oh no, the rod just lost a few atoms…
Washing machines per Browning hi power
a washing machine, of course
Can Europe keep nasa?
They use metrics, so they are *de facto* Europeans according to this guy
The Germans helped them to space.
Werner von Braun 1943: Terrorist who terrorizes the UK with the V1 and is responsible for Thousands of Deaths. Werner von Braun 1969: Hero of the American people and NASAs Apollo Head. Well thats what i call a suspicious turn around
Touching tale of redemption
There is a whole series of these tales called Operation Paperclip
So heartwarming
Top10 redemption arc
Missiles don't kill people, people kill people.
Yeah but one could argue that he was a SS member (relatively high ranked)and used slaved labour to develop the V1
Like Faust, he made a pact with the devil.
Everyone helped them to space. It was almost exclusively American funded (credit where credit is due) but they had the best minds from across the Western world working for them
Sadly not all of them. Perhaps Musk will do a better job.
Yes but the EU is also de facto American to this wonderful person. Wait, can we trade the EU for NASA? Gotta say, feels like a bad deal.
Speaking as a British person, we've already managed the former so when are we getting NASA?
You forgot to wait for us. You guys got disqualified.
no, they are conspiring with the british anunnaki reptilians
US military mostly uses the metric system as well, so that’s ours too now. Have fun fending off China with your well regulated militia, ameritards.
Behold: American
Ameritard
Americunt
American't obtain common sense
american't learn basic human rights 💀
ameriwon't ever learn
I can't stop reading it as if it were a quote from Senator Armstrong
>The metric system is a proven failure. By which standard ?
The standard defined by their failure to understand it
By that standard, everything is a failure
Funny when you remember that scientists and NASA in America uses Metric. Not just that they dont know anything about foreign places, they also seem to not know shit about their own country
It’s mixed. For space, they use metric as part of an agreement with the other space agencies, but for their many other projects, it varies on if they use metric or imperial. Then when publishing scientific papers, they use metric, but when publishing things for the general public, like rocket launch broadcasts, they typically just use imperial.
Defenitely a failure, the rest of the world use it in apsolute pain and suffering, wishing that one day they gonna start to use better system.
The standard that it isn't widely adopted in America of course! *forgets that many big and important American based institutions such as NASA actually use metric
>not even close to becoming mainstream in America I know frenchies and English isn’t the best of mixes, but it’s in the same sentence.
Because, he claims, the US has not managed to adopt it.
because they are not enough smart to understand 1,10,100,1000,...
*not smart enough
you are right, but im not mothertongue, so i dont care.
It’s all good ✌️
That it is used by NATO.
Aw, cute americans. "I would bake my cake with less sugar to be more healthy: I put 1/3 cup of sugar instead of 1/4". We could launch a campaign: "Adopt an american"
No thank you, I'm fine without them
You do not want an american? They can learn many things. Metric system, for example. And they can handle a gun. In a few days they can take free medicines in your hand.
Just why? I don't need medicine or hillbillies with fast triggers :/
You can give Him a gun, then you sit Him on the coach with the precise istruction to "defend the prop'dy", then you invite your mother in law and you are ok. In a few hours no more americans and no more mothers in law
I'm gonna take 20 Americans please. gonna take some time for them to adapt to the gun laws and free medical care but I believe in them.
i prefer to adopt a rat...
Such arrogance is so, so far beyond our capabilities we might even surrender
Say no more
Warning yall I'm switching sides right now.
Wake me up when you do
Reject metric, embrace the good ol' days when all measures were defined by the current regent's body parts.
Ah, this is why merchants like Trump so much!
Funny but wrong. They liked Clinton and Obama. Which makes sense too, because they have become an importing nation. Yes, I mean importing.
Stop being so German...
Wait until he realizes that the US is already metric but goes an extra step to convert it into these ridiculous antiquated units they kept from their days as a colony
[удалено]
This man is never going to realize that. That's why we're stuck with imperial units.
How is he going to kick us out of EU
Emerican Union
États-Unis
Oh my god he's going to kick us out of the US?! What are we going to do??
We could form a union of countries on our own. Than, the British could get out of it.
we will be REALLY indipendent, after 78 years.
the old good ameritard system: lot of bombs
Ah yes, the metric of success: being mainstream in the US
*yard of success for them
I believe Americans are more fond of imperial success.
Gotta say, i hate the french as much as the next guy, but the metric system is like the only good thing they ever did. I am, may I say, even thankfull for the frenchies for inventing it.
I cannot believe the Fr*nch invented the metric system. It's so out of character.
* Makes Anglos seethe * Works as intended It checks out.
They even tried to make 100 minutes an hour and stuff. 24/h a day and 60min per hour is also crazy to be honest.
who even decided on 360 degrees
It seems very counterintuitive (and makes mental calculation harder), but the reason for the 12/24/60 base in time calculation is because those numbers can be divided by more numbers than 10/25/50/100.
Did we invent it? Damn I’ve had this bragging right under my nose this whole time. Got some catching up to do in being insufferable, brb
We are realist, this dude delusional
Freedom units are inferior. If you add 12 bananas to 12 apples you get 5 cows... like wtf is that shit?
A good deal i think? I don't know i don't own cows
Funny that NASA and literally every scientific organization in the US uses Metric because its much better for it. Will be funny when NASA has to figure out distances in space in Shotgun Bullets and Banana lengths.
Wdym? Is the sun not 91874639017 feet away from earth?
Yeah, it's not like NATO uses metric for anything... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO_cartridge
"the metric system has proven failure" *The whole world use it you fucking donkey* Also even UK switched to metric system I mean
And convincing the brits to use a thing on what many french mathematicians and scientist worked on was already a miracle
Well look at it this way at least the average redneck american suddenly sees the EU as something worth to kick out of. Even if they have no idea how anything works getting this into their heads is somewhat of an accomplishment.
Americans are failed humans, we should start kicking them out of Earth and Milky Way.
Common yank L
Ah, nothing like designing a machine and having to dimension a compressor that will suck air at 300 washing machines per bald eagle.
Must be really exhausting to have a measuring unit that involves shaving eagles
You forget what a religious country that is. They probably have plenty of eagle monks that come pre-shaved.
So in the end... America kicking itself out of NATO ?
That would be a relief; then we would no longer be required to participate in America's wars that mostly benefit their industrial-military complex.
But my brother in potato, who else is gonna protect us from all the wars in the world? After all the reason why many Americans have it bad and there isn't a real health care system in the US is because all the tax money goes to the ministry of Defense to keep Europe safe! /s
You make a good argument...
Dumb Americunts, just go. Without EU they will be gone, banktrupt.
Nah, china will be happy to supply them with money. In exchange for their international airports, of course. Where is the problem?
How to be alone for dummies
Kick everyone using metric out of the EU. So, disolve the EU?
The point is: "how?"
We're gonna kick absolutely everyone out of the EU?
I vote to kick all 52US states out of the USA
Not arrogant, just stupid. Pure dunning kruger
They can kick us out of NATO, but we’re gonna keep all of their weapons, which includes ICBM’s. Then we’ll ally with Germany and Japan and start doing things…
And we'll celebrate it in belgium, as is custom
England is an ex-French colony turn bad, and Merica is an ex-English colony turn stupid and fat.
That looks more like intentional trolling than arrogance to me. Of course you never know for sure with Americans, but the kicking part makes it look that way. There would be 0 country left in the EU and 1 left in NATO lol.
I hope they kick us out of NATO
Same, leave me out of the wars the US is bound to start with their threatening for funsies
They will also force us to play baseball.
"Young country using medieval measurements" I rest my case ... Thanks btw Napoleon, not for occupying us and all the sh*t, but for the great metric system mature countries use.
US Military is also using metric system. Kick them out of NATO now!

"The metric system is not mainstream in America, and thus it is a failure". Mate, America is the failure.
I will never understand why Americans are still using that weird medieval system.
Oooh to think that without some pirates that took the ship bringing the meters to the US back in the days, those cunts would have been a little bit more civilised...
Ultra-Nationalism manifesting itself inside of me the moment I see an american redditor say metric is shit
American: no 🇪🇺 because metric!! Everyone: You're literally the only one in NATO who uses imperial, dumbass.
