This is wrong on so many levels:
1st, as an engineer, the english system is like trying to carry water with a stick, a stick you found next to an empty bucket.
2nd, God measured things in cubits. I don’t know what that measurement system is, but it’s not one we use today. Today there is only metric and english(ish), so by default this meme is saying God would use english, wrong.
Sure I couldn’t tell you how many centimeters tall a person is, or how many kilograms makes for an appropriate yo mama joke, but we could all stand to learn something new.
What do I look like, Doc Brown? I can’t go back in time to the filming of Evan Almighty. I can tell you about how we measure things in slugs or blobs though.
A cubit was the distance from the end of the elbow to the end of the longest finger, so it varied a bit depending on who was doing the measuring. And as far as metric vs. imperial measurements. I prefer the imperial. The metic unit can not be divided easily into thirds or fouths, whereas the imperial unit can.
I think there should be 13 months to a year, each containing 28 days. The extra day would be New Year’s Day and would not belong to any month, it would just be a worldwide holiday that stands on it’s own. And every four years then an extra day added at some point in the year (maybe at the midway point of the year) which would be a worldwide holiday known as Leap Day, but of course only occurring every four years.
That’s not proper social distancing!
Unless they are protesting white supremacy.
But then they are all white, racist.
Of course they could all be Arabs so I might be premature in my condemnation.
oh, never mind.
There are two types of nations in the world:
1) Those who use the metric system.
2) Those who have put men on the Moon.

I find this new learning fascinating. Tell me more how we can measure things with cubits.

Know anything about sheep’s bladders?
Only as a unit of Haggis. Mmm.

Why don’t we have a 10-based measure for time?
Or for angles?
Blame the Babylonians — they found that 60 could be divided into so many whole numbers it was better than 100.
Who cares?
Metrics is useful for engineers and the military, the US systems is useful for ordinary people.

In England it’s referred to as Jesus and the 1.2 Decaciples.
