Screenshot of a Bluesky post of a fossilized cuttlefish that looks like a dickhead and part of a shaft. The scientist claims it was carried around by prehistoric humans 250,000 years ago and we don’t know why, but they will talk about why in an episode of the podcast The Fossil Files

    They’ll have drugs and penises in metric.
    (And guns, but they have those everywhere, so it doesn’t count.)

        That’s the one that gets me the most, man. People will literally go and say “the sixteen-point-nine-ounce bottle” instead of just saying “500 mil bottle” and it blows my mind. It’s so much less awkward to say. I’ve even heard people ask for the 33-point-eight ounce bottle at the gas station I work at. It’s a fucking liter. Just say the 1 liter bottle!

        I know it’s a completely lost cause at this point, but I genuinely wish we’d switch:(

          I’ve never heard that one.

          1 liter, 2 liter. Always. But anything smaller in imperial. Very odd tbh
