ahh, yes. The gram. The bitcoin of weight units.

You have yourself tagged as a bot (little bot icon next to your name)

I think you can change that in your profile settings.

Hmm, I had no idea. Think I fixed it now. Thank you so much for taking the time to point that out to me, it really made me happy :D <3

Maybe it is a bot?

does the rest of the world have the ability to recognize a (poorly executed) attempt at humor? One that in fact attempts to satirize the very imperial disregard for SI measurements that Americans are known for?

USAians are so funny on that xitter platform. Joking about deporting people, drowning the trans, and casually slipping in a joke about the inferior metric system. Just simply hilarious and so easy to tell apart. There's absolutely no reason anyone named Poe would come up with a law. Unthinkable.

Noooo I read on the internet that Americans are a monolith and they all hate metric. Therefore this can't be a joke!

Man i wish weed was traded by the kilogram

Funny, up here we buy grams, but when we wanted a real amount of pot we would buy in pounds. Nothing like a big black garbage bag of weed

In Australia it's sold by grams, then fractions of ounce/pounds.
