From whiskeyriff.com, a video of a brown bear running through woods at "60 kph" with some thoughts from the author of the blog.

The original video on Instagram by Trygve Løge, from Norway.

In the article:

In the post, the bear’s speed was laid out in kilometers, which got a lot of Americans in the comment section riled up (we stand against the Metric system).

There are a few things true U.S. citizens won’t budge on, and one of those ideals is never converting to the units of measurement the rest of the world uses (unless we’re measuring how much is in a big, plastic soda bottle).

I don't have an Instagram account, so I can't read the comments. If anyone reading this post has access to the comments, could you post a couple of the anti-metric ones here, please?
