Yes! It is a joke, including showing price for a US imperial unit of petrol. 😁 (Sorry I had to.)

Since I'm going to Japan later this year I'm trying to teach myself some Japanese language and some basic metric system math too. Starting with Fahrenheit vs Celsius. I figured with 98% of the planet using the metric system this will be a good skill to know in the future. #metricsystem

Two weeks for family, and here we are with more context for a 32k limit,
If you felt that the tool isn't "tooling", give a read:

In -75, President Ford had a vision; America should adopt the metric system
Interstate 19 in Arizona as the test case, with new green signs
Reagan killed it in -82. But somehow, everyone just... forgot about I-19

A painting of a man and woman sitting on a big park bench. The scene is 1700’s. He has his hands on his lap and she is crying hands held to face. He says, “But my dear, we use the metric system. Why'd you ever think that I was 12 inches?" She answers, "Im American."

A “tiny” relationship misunderstanding for sure. Read below about the $125 million dollar mistake in 1999 and other stupid mistakes because the #USA refuses to be #rational

The metric system shines with A-series paper. A0's area is exactly 1 sq meter, and its weight (80gsm) directly relates to its area. This integrated design is a testament to the metric system's inherent efficiency. #MetricSystem 💡 4/7

A switch to #metric speed limits would allow all speed limits to be reviewed at no extra cost.

DEPARTMENT OF THE ENVIRONMENT PRESS NOTICE 9 December 1970 NO SPEED LIMIT METRICATION Speed limits on Britain's roads are not to be metricated in 1973, as had been planned by the previous administration, and the Government has no alternative date in mind. This was announced today by Mr John Peyton, Minister for Transport Industries, answering a Question in the House of Commons. Mr Kenneth Warren MP asked for an estimate of the cost involved in alterations to vehicles and road signs of all kinds if metric distances and speed measurements were introduced in this country. Mr Peyton replied: "Nearly £2m for speed limit signs: the Government have, however, decided that speed limits will not be made metric in 1973 and have no alternative date in mind." In March 1969, Mr Richard Marsh, then Minister of Transport, in a statement on speed limit policy in Parliament, announced that, subject to further consultation, speed limits would be metricated in 1973. This was in the context of the former administration's intention to metricate the economy by 1975. Following this announcement, planning took place with local authorities on the best way to implement the change; but no new speed limit signs in metric terms have yet been put up. The metrication of other road signs to show distances, dimensions etc in metric terms had not yet reached the planning stage. The question of speeds and distances being expressed in metric terms will be considered again when it is seen to what extent metrication as a whole is accepted by the public, but this will not be for some years.
#OTD On this day 55 years ago, the Government postponed the introduction of #metric speed limits 🚗, previously scheduled for 1973.

The I-19 highway in Arizona is the only Interstate that predominately uses the Metric System. Most signs on this road reference Kilometers and Meters as part of a 1970's experiment with the Metric System. #RoadTrip #Interstate #Arizona #MetricSystem #SummerTrip #DayTrip #RoadWarrior

a cross section diagram of an ISO metric screw thread
On this day 60 years ago, the British standard for screw threads 🔩 went #metric.
On 23 November 1965, major sectors of British industry approved a BSI policy statement urging British firms to make ISO metric threads their first choice for all future designs.

Screenshots with subtitles from Episode 4 of Series W of QI, first broadcast on 11 November 2025. They show a complete jumble of measurements units being used, with a wavelength in the millimetre-to-metre range being described using using inches.
For a TV show @qi.com in 2025 to be using #inches to measure a wavelength in the millimetre-to-metre range is #QuiteInteresting.
FUN FACT: Since the first UK radio stations began broadcasting in the 1920s, wavelengths have been given in #metres.

A 1975 METRIC PACK of Kellogg's Corn Flakes. The back of the pack includes information about the switch to metric pack sizes: "Kellogg's and Metrication You will probably have noticed from the front of this packet that it has a new metric weight. It now contains 500 grammes (1.10 lb) of Corn Flakes in place of the previous 16 oz. Since the Weights and Measures Act, 1963, we have had to pack our flaked breakfast cereals in multiples of 4 ounces. This was the main reason why Corn Flakes were packed in 8 oz, 12 oz and 16 oz packet sizes. But now that Britain is changing to the metric weight system the Law has been amended to permit flaked cereals to be packed and sold in set metric quantities. This Giant pack, which previously held 16 ounces, will now contain 500 grammes (one of the new set quantities). So there are now 10% more Corn Flakes in the packet."
On this day 50 years ago, breakfast cereals went #metric.
On 1 November 1975, METRIC PACK sizes ⚖️ were introduced for flaked breakfast cereals 🌽❄️. Imperial pack sizes were withdrawn on 30 June 1978.

Even drug dealers use the metric system!
Metric units don't make our lives harder, they make our lives easier.
Metric units rock! Even criminals know this is true.
