@LilahTovMoon These ridiculous comparisons are funny.
But, switching to the metric system won’t fix people with seemingly no understanding of dimensional space. In the US, we all grew up on this non-metric system. You’d (maybe?) be shocked at how many people can’t judge or visualize any amount of inches or feet. Even with metric, they will all still need to know how many Corgis in 4 meters.
I think it depends on where you grew up in the USA?
I was incarnated in California as a human in the 1970s this go round and was definitely taught metric and other measurement systems in public school.
Attached is a road sign example from California which has both mileage and kilometers listed.
Albeit, this may have varied somewhat. For example, while I was taught Fahrenheit and Celsius in public schools when I was younger, by the time I was taking Physics at a private high school, I also learned Kelvin.
I'm not sure where Corgi measurements are taught, but I graduated from University in 1999, so it might be a new thing? Speculatively, probably promulgated by Cowboy Bebop Ein fans. Grateful to have one reference point now at least!
Hope I won't have to use it often.
