  Yeah, it’s just a shitpost with layers of irony and edits to the intended joke.

      It’s just an anti-joke playing on expectations. Like, you expect the joke to be that the guy is crawling the wrong way, or to be making fun of Americans not using the metric system, but it’s been edited so that neither of those fit.

      You’re in the wrong community to be “getting” things

    The previous edit to this joke was the American man dying of thirst went to the right because 1<100 and as a math illiterate, he didn’t check the units.

    The original joke was the American man dying of thirst went straight between the two signs because he couldn’t read.

  I think the m is supposed to stand for miles. I guess the sign is in a desert between usa and canada

  • Hackworth@piefed.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Thank you. I’ve only ever seen “mi.” for miles.

    Wait that’s the joke??? I’ve never seen “m” used for miles lol.

      Mph?

    • blueeggsandyam@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      If that isn’t it I don’t know what the joke is. Maybe Americans are so stupid that they accidentally make the right choice?

      What does “mph” mean to you?

      British road signs will mark that a junction is “1m” away meaning “1 mile” (to distinguish it from other contexts where it might say “300 yards")

        Interesting, I didn’t realize that. In the US we use “mi” for miles to clarify that we don’t mean meters lol

  • wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    ‘m’ is definitely meters, ‘mi’ is for miles
