44 pounds = roughly 17.6 rotisserie chickens.

Omg my work kept telling us during covid if we didn't know what 6' was just image two shopping carts. I fucking hated that shit.

Except the drug dealers. They use metric.

I doubt many Americans know what the size of an American football is.

True. Some of us do know how to use commas, though.

It's called a football. Only 11 inches long. Not even spherical. Smh.

Don't get me started on short forms. Lbs and oz?

Unpopular opinion, but this is right and good.

I do think we should be using the metric system, but I think three stacked footballs, or whatever the fuck makes it easier for people to visualize it, is a good thing. Some of us just don't have brains geared toward hearing an arbitrary number and visualizing that size in real terms.

So, yeah, right 30cm, and show me a damn football, or two dollar bills, or a cake pan, or whatever i may have that can help me actually visualize the size.

They should do the height in feet and the width in inches for the full imperial experience.

The grammar pisses me off more than the image.

The world is leaving us behind. The US will be a third world nation.

Fractional inches even. Blech.
