  • In China we use Jin to measure things - one jin is approximately 500g so suddenly my weight appears to double and everyone's like wow you weigh over 100, so fat. Fuck off I'm significantly taller than all of you.

    Also one jin isn't exactly 500g, it's something like 450g. In Taiwan they use the real jins and on the mainland we just pretend it's 500g - so why not just use the real metric system given that these are fake jin?

    Niche rant I know.

  • Also one jin isn't exactly 500g, it's something like 450g.

    Isn't that basically equivalent to a pound (lbs) then? Because that's 453.592g according to google.

    I understand the frustration about not using the full metric system though.
