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

I’m confused and probably stupid, but…should the guy not be crawling 100 meters versus 1 km (1,000 meters)? What part of my brain has damage from being dropped as a child?

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

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?

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

Agreed, I don’t get it either! I mean we are making fun of the freedom unit here aren’t we?

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

It’s pure brainrot, don’t even bother. Just clowns jerking off to their own content

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.

Americans like bigger numbers.

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.
