Stones ain't even metric, the glorious metric system doesn't use arbitrary bs measurements like that.

In Canada we kinda flip flop back and forth between metric and imperial. Distance is usually metric but weight and lumber are imperial for some reason. Also 1 stone =14lbs

Canada always struggles to decide if they want to be the goat country to being poverty. That’s why no one takes them seriously

How many grams of water do you have in a 250ml cup? Then what volume of container do you need to carry it?

I’ll be back in an hour for imperial guys to finish calculating.

I am as AmericaFukYeah as you can get, but the Metric system is superior in every way. If the US would have switched in the late 70s like they were supposed to, we would all be making fun of anyone left not using it.
