I'm confused and probably stupid, but...should the guy not be crawling 100 meters versus 1 km (1,000 meters)? What part of my brain has damage from being dropped as a child?

    Yeah, it's just a shitpost with layers of irony and edits to the intended joke.

    It's an anti-joke playing on expectations. Like, you expect the joke to be that the guy is crawling the wrong way, or to be making fun of Americans not using the metric system, but it's been edited so that neither of those fit.

    I think the m is supposed to stand for miles. I guess the sign is in a desert between usa and canada

    What does "mph" mean to you?

    British road signs will mark that a junction is "1m" away meaning "1 mile" (to distinguish it from other contexts where it might say "300 yards")
