I love the thought of being jailed by lecals, because you try to mesure the length of France.

[@rogueplanet8470]

I'mma keep it real with you: your channel is the best "silly history" channel.

[@Triplane1234]

oversimplified??

[@EdinoRemerido]

@@Triplane1234 The entire history of earth I guess IS much...MUCH... better

[@chilibeer3912]

There is nothing silly about the metric system. Very serious

[@inaliann]

Wait for americans to flock in tell everybody that measuring length in football stadiums is superiors form of calculating distance.

[@therealoldnosey8689]

But it is

[@chilibeer3912]

It’s called freedom units

[@XKathXgames]

@@chilibeer3912 The "You are free to make costly and tragic conversion errors cuz they entire world uses metric while you cling to imperial but call it freedom to somehow justify not wanting to change to a better system. WOOOOOO FREEEEDOOOOM!"

[@bRuHIsHere.]

​@@XKathXgamesActually, in the mid 20th century, we actually did attempt to change to the metric system, but it was too late to change, and NOBODY was taught about the metric system. So being the lazy slobs that we are, we decided to stick to the imperial system, because the school system never wanted to teach us WHAT A F%CKING KILOMETER IS.

[@firstcynic92]

UK even has a pre imperial measurement, the stone. 1 stone = 14 lb = 6.35029 kg.

[@miriammcfarlane6972]

These metre rulers were subject to wear and tear...(not ware and tare!😊)

[@BOZ_11]

1000 paces = less than half a mile (my pedometer says so). I'm average height, so unless this Roman is 6' 9" (with a commensurate stride length) something is wrong

[@riccardo6112]

The measurement of 1000 paces is done with only one foot, so only every other step is counted.
In addition a roman mile is slighly less than a modern imperial mile.

[@RealWarnerus]

So, was that 2mm difference never corrected or did they fix it in the 60s?

[@Danpungip]

0.2

[@Danpungip]

You didn’t make fun of Americans, disappointed…

[@zombie_snax]

Ohh , its clickbait bs content..... simple Google search kids...

[@QuakeGamerROTMG]

Yes, 99% of content on this website you could have found yourself with a few minutes of research
It couldn't possibly be anything to do with the video being entertainment could it?

[@Danpungip]
