@bluewing oh yeah I'm sure not anyone in the US knows how many miles they run when they run on a track, and I'm sure they just count the laps. I would do the same if I had grown up in a place that uses yards and miles ๐Ÿ˜

the standard length of a track is a quarter mile, pretty sure that's common knowledge

Nope, just people using the appropriate common sense units to measure what they are doing! Besides, less counting is more better if the state of education is any indication of the future.......

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
