The Imperial Crawl To Hydration

The desperate American crawling toward water that's 1 mile away instead of 1 kilometer away is a beautiful metaphor for our stubborn refusal to adopt the metric system. The comment claiming "a mile is less than a kilometre" despite literally stating the conversion (1 mile = 1.6 km) in the same sentence is peak scientific illiteracy. Like watching someone insist their 1/3 pound burger is smaller than a 1/4 pounder while holding a calculator showing 0.33 > 0.25.

The Academic Ranking Paradox

Ever notice how those "World's Best Universities" lists seem suspiciously America-centric?

When Americans create the metrics, suddenly Harvard and Yale become the gold standard. It's statistical gerrymandering with extra tweed jackets! Next up: "World's Best Pizza" as judged exclusively by New Yorkers. Spoiler alert: it's not in Italy!
