While the asteroid is traveling too far to pose any risk to the Earth, a possible impact event with it could become a worldwide catastrophe.

If you regularly use metric in the US, you're either an aerospace engineer or a drug dealer. lol

Edit: Thank you everyone who ackshually'd my obvious joke. I'm aware metric is more widely used that that.

Or the military, they use it a ton

Or the military, they use it a ton 907kg.

The ton is a metric unit too isn't it?

A metric ton is 1000 kg. Source: Aerospace Military Industrial Complex drug dealer.

Yea, but the dealers only go to 900kg, because of their commission.

I only got 800kg from my guy to begin with, not sure where your numbers are coming from

“This is why you need to pick up your drop promptly. The coast guard and DEA have been using sharks to go after drops. Honest!”

Your dealer, probably

It's both, or rather all three, because the Brits have their own ton as well.

And people give the Americans shit for their relationship with units and measures

At least American kids aren't weighed in stone lol

The fastest way to find out is to ask how many grams are in an ounce.

28.8? Engineer

28? Dealer

TIL only aerospace engineers and drug dealers buy soda at the grocery store.
