How on earth have I never seen a Mr Beast video? YT has never even suggested it that I can remember, and I've been on the lookout for a few months ever since I heard about him on--and this is peak irony--the radio.

What amazes me is that we pretty much are converting, just very slowly, one thing at a time. In school we all learn the metric system, and it's used all over in industry and government. At the supermarket, everything is labeled in both systems, and some things have started trending towards metric as the default. We are all used to the 2L bottle size. The old fifth of a gallon bottle, though some still call it that, has been replaced by the 750ml bottle. More recently the 20oz bottle has been phased into the .5L, mainly--I'm sure--to shrink the amount while keeping prices the same, but still it's progress in this regard.

I think the transformation will be effectively complete when highway signs use kilometers. But I don't see that happening any time soon.

What? Really? But as a cartoon how does that even work if it's not ironic? ... He asked rhetorically, knowing the right wing humor is basically just incoherent hate.

Unlike capitalism, which is a bunch of random people climbing on eachothers back and when one gets to the top he is not expected to pull the others up.
