Why Europeans? It's the entire world, excluding the US and a hand full of tiny oceanic islands, who use metric. It's not us doing weird, it's the US who keeps refusing to use a proper system with logic everyone else uses.

Probably because whoever made the meme knows it's used in Europe but not what measuring systems other countries use. I also didn't know what measuring systems other countries used, but know that usually Europeans might use metric. I didn't think hard about it. I saw a meme that did not seem to be misleading and seemed unlikely to offend or cause despair and hopelessness, I decided to post it here. Thanks for the information that I didn't know.
Also, I wouldn't mind having US schools teach metric so we can shift to it, but alas I am not a politician and cannot make a unilateral decision for the whole country. While I can bug them to support such a measure, we unfortunately have bigger fish to fry right now. I'm just trying to post levity to help people get through the day, because that matters too.

It's only bigger because you guys use football fields as units of measurement.

I didn't know that the word for the thing at the end of your leg that you stand on is called a meter in the Europeanese language. Today I learned.

"Bigmetre" in European English, surely?

You should try living in Toronto, it’s wild. We go from feet to Km to cm to inches, no regard or rules

0.3048 meter feet or 30.48 centimeter feet for standard feet. How much is a big one?

If it's 'Bigfoot' it should be 'Smallmeter'
