    IIRC, the meter stems from a fraction of an Earth’s length, so you know what to do

    The US fought, and apparently won, an entire war, to get out from under the boot which they insist on continuing to measure things by.

    American here, meters are tools for measuring things! Voltmeter measure volts, speedometers measure speed, etc.

    Makes me nervous when I’m walking around, because every step I take my phone’s pedometer detects another one :'(

    It looks like the people on top have a giant calf and foot for legs and feet. And one of them the foot is backwards.

        Those are definitely not two left feet. That is a left and a right foot.

    length of the path travelled by light in vacuum during a time interval of ⁠1/299792458⁠ of a second will always be superior to some stinky foot. Or an inch. Or a football field (Hand-egg one?)

      1 metre = 10 decimetres = 100 centimetres = 0,001 kilometres. Not sure how you calculate but this could be the point
