Anything But Metric
Americans will use anything but metric
The Rules:
-
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.)
-
Standard units are not allowed, unless it's a sufficiently bizarre usage of the unit (this is up to mod discretion.)
-
Intentionally terrible units are completely fine! Satire is welcome here
-
Curses are fine, slurs are not. If there are slurs in something you want to post, please blur them, or reconsider posting.
-
Flag NSFW content as such. NSFW words in these posts don't need to be censored.
-
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]
-
In the comments be civil, both to each other AND the subject of posts.
Mod Policy:
- All removes and bans will have a reason provided, and locked threads will have a stickied comment explaining the lock.
- Currently, this is just policy. If more mods join, these will become rules for mods. (Can't exactly punish myself, can I?)

Should reroute it via the Øresund bridge and tunnel.
The bridge is already occupied by the E20.
But 45 > 20, so get out of the way.
E45 used to be E6 before the bridge was built.
Renaming them seems logical, but since they pass through low density areas in Sweden it probably won't ever happen. Their E4 and E6 are the only exceptions to the naming convention, that north/south are odd numbers and west/east are even numbers. E4 and E6 should have been renamed in the early 1990s to E47 and E55, but they got to keep the old names in Sweden, because nobody wanted to pay for changing thousands of existing road signs.
