Not only euros. 95.8% of world population have no idea why you measure length with your body parts.

Wait what part of my body is a mile? Are you calling me fat? :,[

[–] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

It's OK maybe it'll still grow.

[–] Pietrasagh@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Mile is defined as 5280 feet, isn't it?

I would never called you fat! Maybe slightly overweight 🤣

Funniest imperial unit I see in my work from time to time is pressure in psf. Punds per square foot - very painfull unit.
