Anything But Metric

Americans will use anything but metric

The Rules:

  1. Posts must be a screenshot, crosspost, or link to someone using a bizarre unit of measurement (33 lanes wide, as heavy as 10 semi-trucks, etc.)

  2. Standard units are not allowed, unless it's a sufficiently bizarre usage of the unit (this is up to mod discretion.)

  3. Intentionally terrible units are completely fine! Satire is welcome here

  4. Curses are fine, slurs are not. If there are slurs in something you want to post, please blur them, or reconsider posting.

  5. Flag NSFW content as such. NSFW words in these posts don't need to be censored.

  6. Post titles should be just the unit of measurement used (not the thing being measured!), and should be the full name of the unit (Apples and Bags of Apples imply very different things!) NSFW units should be partially censored. If there are multiple units, list as many as you want. If the source is satire, the title should start with [Satire]

  7. In the comments be civil, both to each other AND the subject of posts.

Seems there's two, actually, the other one being way at the bottom between mainland Italy and Sicily.

Can still count as the same route even if it's not the same contiguous road, I guess 🤷

I presume you can load your car on both ferries, meaning you can technically “drive” the whole route

I know you can with the one between Denmark and Norway since I've been on it myself and yeah, it's probably the case with the Italian one too 🙂

On this map, the ferry route is between Sweden and Denmark. ~~Helsingør - Helsingborg I presume.~~ I presumed wrong. Must be Göteborg - Frederikshavn.

Oh, right! I'm pretty sure that's a car-ready ferry too, though 😁

I couldn't see it for my finger but you're right. They keep talking about building a bridge though. It's a gap of about 4 km but it's in Italy.
