Europe seems less relevant on reddit because there are far more American redditors than European. On average both people’s think about each other roughly the same amount.
I think it’s the other way around honestly. There are a ton of Europeans on Reddit and it’s very common to see posts that make fun of America or its culture from an outside perspective.
Since most people on Reddit are bots, it wouldn’t surprise me to learn that there are only 28 Europeans and 24 Americans on Reddit (note that to have two or more tone, these are the minimal amounts of each).
There is at least one Canadian. I know ‘cause I’m him. I do not weigh a ton.
Please don’t poke fun at Canada, we got problems right now.
Probably because it was easier to redefine already established big unit than to push for use of new one in logistics. Also at this point it is better to have new set of units than continue with adding more of same pattern, so we have also kilotonnes and megatonnes. I don't even have idea what those would be as -gram. And tonne is so detached from regular units of mass that it actually makes it easier to visualize.

West Europeans: I hate you with every fiber of my being
Americans: I don’t really think about you at all
