  My only thought as to why this could occur is that either the person is intoxicated or has some sort of cognitive issue like dementia OR that it was deliberately done as a sketch to make a viral video. The former are scary to think about. I can understand a “normal” person making this mistake once or twice, but the fact that it’s continuous and repeated would lead toward impairment.

    I immediately thought this is a person on opiates.

  Drives a cubic ton of metal

  What’s a cubic ton?

  Is that like making the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs?

    It’s a poor translation on my part.

    Cubic tonne of metal would probably make more sense. But there is nothing cubic really in a car so I don’t know why I choose this wording.

    As far as I know an heavy car is close to 1000Kg which is a Tonne in the metric system.

      Cubic is a measure of volume, not mass.

        Cubic isn’t a measure at all, it’s a shape.

        I don’t think I said it was a mass.

        I meant cubic as in cube shaped?

      A cubic metre of water weighs a tonne.

        If fresh water, at sea level, under certain barometric conditions and a temperature of 4 degrees, at the equator.

        I’m just noticing that metre is the correct spelling in English.

        Isn’t “meter” the commonly used translation?

        I realize it must not be commonly used anyway with the imperial system being used in the US.

  Yknow we could just be seeing an extreme bout of dyslexia in a tired person.

      Yall never worked in trades and saw the group dyslexic figure east was west, north was south, write shit backwards until the coffee got to his brain and things reverted to normal/reality. Can’t even argue with them because they make rational sounding statements that are half batshit, but, they are 100 percent sure on until they get to be old dyslexics and recognize the tells from what others are saying.
