Anyone hate how Europeans like being different for the sake of being different?

[Muse98]

I'm mainly talking about how they use different formats for everything...(dates, measuring systems, temperature..etc)

it makes no sense whatsoever to write down the day of the month before the month itself...who does that? Only Europeans and other nations that like being different for the sake of being different it seems.

When you want to know what the temperature is like outside nothing beats the simplicity of 100=hot 0=Extremely cold..but for Europeans and the rest of the world for some reason that's too complicated.

Also who goes to the local butcher and asks for 453 grams of beef? 😂No one...you ask for a damn pound.

Dear Europeans and the rest of the world please stop being different for the sake of being different

thank you

I think you've got this confused with the US and American Imperialism.

[pechorin]

wait but most of the world literally uses the metric system it's only the US who doesn't, so who's trying to be different?!

This is legitimately making me angry. If it's a joke, it's not a good one 😡

Yes I feel very special every morning when I wake up and check how many celsius units there is outside.

I understand this is a joke thread, and I am not offended,
but this is catastrophically ethnocentric.

[Mukrab]

How many feet are 87 miles OP? Give me that answer in less than 10 seconds and without a calculater like every european could for any number of any unit converted to any other unit.

I hope the thread is a joke like i think it is tho.

If anyone is being different for the sake of it (though that's a dumb understanding of things to be honest) it's us Americans

Ooooh OP you got me mad for a split second there

 

[PanickyFool]

At least complain about them using a , instead of a period to denote decimals.

Their GMO stupidity is another thing.

But let's not pick fights we cannot win.

[Combichristoffersen]

Oh look, the American riffraff is trying to be funny. How quaint. Imagine that, nearly 250 years and they still can't write dates properly, understand the metric system or understand how to use 'u' in their own damn language. You're hopeless.
