        In a row and spaced exactly 1H diameter from each other. If they dont touch, it isn’t gay.

    American here, meters are tools for measuring things! Voltmeter measure volts, speedometers measure speed, etc.

    Makes me nervous when I’m walking around, because every step I take my phone’s pedometer detects another one :'(

    The US fought, and apparently won, an entire war, to get out from under the heel of the boot which they insist on continuing to measure things against.
