Comment on Carmakers are failing the privacy test. Owners have little to no control of the data they hand over
phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 year agoInterestingly enough there have already been attempts to shift to metric since at least the 70’s but it’s mostly been pushed back by conservatives.
People are not really pissed about it but more annoyed because there are loads of loudmouth Americans out there screaming how their country is “NUMBER ONE BABY!” and whenever I have to write something with units, I always have to add conversions for Americans because they Wong understand what the entire rest of the world does,which is frankly annoying too.
That’s why

Hmm, you’re kind of sounding a little pissed though…
I’ve been on Reddit for years and never seen Americans claiming we’re number one. Quite the opposite actually. Same here so far. Not sure where you’re hanging out that you’re hearing Americans saying that, but I would argue that it’s a minority view. As far as converting for us, I would say, don’t. The sooner Americans have to go do it themselves, the sooner everyone else in the world can stop caring about it.

The previous poster is using projection as a defense. That means he’s out of arguments.
