If only they made a meter equal a yard. I'm okay with a bigger yard. Let's do it.

A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

0lbs ≠ 0kg in the absence of gravity.
Wait what? Even if you're measuring mass both times?
Kilograms are mass, but pounds are weight. Therefore 0 kg = 0 slug, or 0 N = 0 lbs
I thought pounds could be used for either mass or force, and in modern usage just saying "pounds" usually refers to mass. Wikipedia seems to agree:
Sounds funny but really, why would a weight or length measurement start with ≠0?? Like "size of the dick or prince Charles"?
But that argument would go for temperature as well. Yet, here we are with the most commonly used ones having zero as wey more than the "nothing"-level.
Kelvin and Celsius are literally the same just offset by 273.15°
F and C are laterally the same just offset by 32 and scaled by 5/9.
Ehh, they were developed in different ways using completely different reference points
C and K use different reference points too, yet you called them laterally the same.
They have a lot more in common than Celsius and Fahrenheit, which are only related because they are both measures of temperature.
That depends how you count “a lot more in common”. The reference points for zero is much closer for C and F. People commonly use in everyday life C and F, but not K. Should I continue?
Literally the same just different.
Kelvin was developed from Celsius. The only difference is that 0° is based on absolute 0 (because it's logical and constant) rather than the rough freezing point of water (a vague and inconsistent reference point). Every degree change in one unit is exactly the same change in the other.
And the meme is exactly about not having the same 0 point
