Dude it's such an easy conversion between dongles and whatsits, you just don't get how intuitive it is. There are 42.48 whatsits in a dongle, and 17.49 dongles in a shlorp. Europeans are overreacting so much

I feel like this is part of the the joke because Americans often focus on Europeans when metric comes up. I'm Australian, and I have been assumed to be in Europe a number of times by US internet commenters on the topic haha

There was this one redditor a few years ago who thought I was European because I held different values than him (I'm American). Man am I glad I don't use Reddit anymore

More importantly they participate in Eurovision so really that says it all. I for one welcome our down under cousins to the continent.

To be fair, Europeans complain the most about it.
