I don't think this is stealing in that sense, since the last panel subverts the meaning for humorous effect like any other meme born out of a comic strip (although this particular joke has been done before too).

My own main gripe is that the post is just horrendeous AI slop in its execution.

    I think it's worth adding that while no system can avoid difficult divisions, we use the same base-ten numerals everywhere so metric only has to deal with the limitations of base-ten. Using a unit system with a different base, but then having base-ten numbers to count those sounds like it defeats the purpose. If we counted in base-twelve, then that would be a different matter.
