It’s not the measurement system’s fault people like to fall down two notches and use hundreds of milliliters instead. The same applies to decimeters. Most people use meters and centimeters for some reason.
At least in Sweden, decimeter and deciliter are very commonly used. They are rather convenient units of measurement.
Because the Swede is reasonable, unlike the Danes
But their dogs are Great.
Those actually originated in Germany but so did Danes, so potato/tomahto 🤷
They ARE quite lovely horses, though 😉
Is that a joke about the unit called an are
I wish I was that knowledgeable lol, but no. It's a joke about the number one downside of owning a great Dane: everyone and their mom commenting about their size by saying "that's not a dog, it's a horse!" 😁
Hey! I resemble that remark!
If you REALLY want to see how unreasonable we can be, look what we've done to those poor numbers!

Yeah, it's really bizarre 😄
And megameters would be quite useful if we ever used them.
