Aaaand ... DD/MM/YYYY 🫠
YYYY-MM-DD
As much as I vehemently dislike US customary units, MM/DD/YYYY is the USA's greatest notation crime.
This one wouldn't make sense as they say dates as month day, year.
To me, dates should always be written in international format: YYYY-MM-DD
$ 50
Do you call this fifty dollars, or dollar fifty?
Lots of stuff is written differently, than it is spoken. In case of the date it is weird, not to go from biggest to smallest or vice versa. I guess you are used to it now, but for me it would be the same as putting seconds before minutes or inches before feet.
Depends on context, IMO did/mm/yyyy is the most natural when writing some text, but partial ISO yyyy-mm-dd is ideal for when naming files and directories, makes lexicographical ordering follow chronological order.
The only properly measured thing Americans bring to their schools is 9mm's 😔
Categorically false. They also bring 5.56x40mm.
.9mm mechancal pencils (.7 breaks too easy)
As an American, I can confidently say I'm sick of this Imperial/SAE shit.
What really grinds my gears - literally - is having to have two sets of sockets because America. It's really gets annoying when you lose your 10mm socket and the other one isn't quite right, but you can't work out is 18/32s is close enough and then you bust a nut.

I just read that as "socks", which made the last sentence really weird
You know what pissed me off earlier this year? We took a trip from the U.S. to Canada and my Prius didn't even have the option to show kmph instead of mph on the dashboard. We looked through the manual, we looked online. My specific model doesn't allow it. Why?!
World work better with "socialism." Because screw capitalism.
Or gun control. Or free healthcare. Or abortion. Or a free online automated tax return system.
or public transport, ending the war on drugs, LGBTQ+ rights, fixing climate change, eating less meat, funding education, non-predatory student loans, living wage, affordable homes, ending slavery in prisons, ending corporations as people, ending super PACs and lobbying, and establishing ranked choice voting or even basic democratic concepts as one-man-one-vote.
Except in drug deals (kg), foot races (5km), and science (°C).
Oh! Oh! Try "Paid maternity leave!" 
@burgers if metric sucks so bad why do you use it for your guns
Arma players are more at home with km than miles because they never leave the basement to use it irl
