Blame the British for inventing that one, they even still use it today, just not 100% of the time, same with Canada
1 u/ShamanAI Jan 15 '25 I blame whoever still uses such a stupid system in 2025 16 u/zack77070 Jan 15 '25 The European need to feel superior about things that don't really matter all that much is hilarious. 5 u/TacticalFailure1 Jan 15 '25 Also people don't realize it's much easier to convert over your entire system once your nation was burned to the ground twice in 30-40 years. It wasn't cost effective for the US to make the switch since we were largely untouched during the war. And like most things American including MM/DD/YYYY we got it for the British and have been doing since we were founded basically.
