Yeah man, it's fucking nuts

Trying to turn every computer into just a dummy terminal that accesses a cloud server, rather than using the local resources

You can, and plenty do

Or I could just do 1.6 km ≈ 1 mile whenever I need to convert from the standard that I use, Metric, to Imperial

Far far far simpler

Edit: I'm not American, I use sensible units, SI Metric

Edit edit: I do fully have dyscalcus, mostly only effects "scary" looking maths, so no, your suggestion doesn't help

Fun fact: there's quite a lot of countries that use "mixed metrics", with no real rhyme or reason for what uses old ancient imperial and what uses new shiny metric

UK - Miles for long distances, switch to meters for distances less than a mile, always use km in air and sea. Milk in pints, petrol in liters, water in ml, beer in pints. Human heights in Feet Inches, building heights in Meters. Human weights in a unit even Americans don't use anymore (Stone), animal weights in kg/g.

0.54 nmi (nautical miles)

It's rough estimation, a deviation of anything less than 50% is accurate enough for that

Edit: Ooh I thought you were trying to "um actually, it's 1.66", but I just realised they put 0.6 instead of 1.6

Ah yes, I always remember the Fibonacci sequence and totally wouldn't find it harder to calculate than just doing the conversion the regular way

/sarcasm

I've literally never seen it do that before or heard of it from anyone else either.

And the JavaScript is not actually used to render, it's just plain HTML with some handlers made in js

So I think it's that your computer is haunted

You should make a post about it, I think it would do numbers!

American Balkanisation could be in the cards

Tbh part of the point of Bad UX Battles is to highlight the things that people assume are true (but are not)
