It's weird that they wrote miles instead of kilometers

[-] Animated_beans@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

The UK uses miles. They mostly use the metric system, but there are a few cases where they use the imperial system (like distance)

The size difference is getting to me too lol

I used to drive a 200 mile round trip weekly to visit home while I was in college.

Houston to East Texas is a fun drive.

I had a german professor once remark to me about how different Americans are, like hundreds of miles is a day trip, hundreds of miles is a week long trip by car. Bet the trains are awesome though. Amtrak long distances seems way too expensive relative to my other options when factoring in time.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
