minus-square@then_three_more@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink6•2 days agoShort distances should be meters, feet, inches, millimetres. None of that fractions of an inch bollocks. And milk is often actually in litres and half litres, we just assume it’s in pints. Clever little bit of shrinkflation.

minus-square@dejected_warp_core@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink3•2 days ago Short distances should be meters, feet, inches, millimetres.

So no binary fractions, but still imperial-ish. :/ And milk is often actually in litres and half litres, we just assume it’s in pints. That one makes sense.
