Canada began its transition away from the imperial measurement system more than 50 years ago. Now, a Victoria man is petitioning the federal government to finish the job, one kilogram, centimetre and litre at a time.
The picture shows an original 2x4, then the planed downsize later on, and then a modern further reduction to get more boards out of a log. Its not enshitification in our current world we live in, but shows how you get less wood these days. But my original point never mentioned enshitification, I was just showing that a 2x4 is a label, because the sizes changed over time and we call it the same.
The photo is misleading though. In the 60s they decided to go with a 1.5"x3.5". Not 2023 as the photo might make you believe, or make you think today’s lumber is actually less than 1.5x3.5… it’s a bad photo.
