Easy, since Henry the VIII the foot was defined as 12 in. What’s an inch you ask? Well an inch is 3 barleycorns placed side by side. Which 3 barleycorns? That doesn’t matter it’s close enough.
What The Fuck Is A Kilometer, also known as WTF Is A Kilometer, refers to an American catchphrase that is satirically patriotic by being aggressively ignorant of the metric system. This is because the United States doesn’t use the metric system (kilometers) and instead uses the imperial system (miles). The phrase’s first usage was in a moldy meme featuring George Washington with a bald eagle and a giant firearm.
Only it started as being satire, but now it’s also used by some people trying to be patriotic

’ is feet or minute depending on context

How do you measure things in feet? Everyone’s feet are different sizes, that doesn’t seem like a reproducible way to make anything.

Not sure what unit of measurement this is, but most reports list his height as ~186cm
That’s a hair over 6’
Okay? Still not sure what unit that is.
This sub is for Canada, where every unit of measuring length is based on the meter!
Apparently six apostrophes is equal to 182.88 cm. Seems like a rather arbitrary value to me.
The inch is exactly 25.4mm btw, it’s metric all the way down!

The comment asking what a foot is, was building off the joke in the post image which was asking what a mile is, which itself is a reference to an American line https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/what-the-fuck-is-a-kilometer
