          Probably whoever was writing this in plain text didn’t know about the superscript numbers in unicode ³.

          Somehow I’ve seen it written as cum multiple times in my line of, and never registered it haha

          Context is a hell of a drug

          Wasn’t there a satellite that got lost in space due to EU/US teams disagreeing on the tracking units of measurement? I feel like I read this at some point…

            Assuming you’re thinking of the Mars Climate Orbiter, it crashed into Mars.

            Of course it’s possible there’s been more than one metric/imperial issue.

    Is the meme that this description couldn’t possibly be in reference to any animal that has ever existed?
