> [@Spiderman](#): > > A metric butt load, except for in the US where we still use imperial measurements. _nitpick alert_ The US does _not_ use Imperial measure; it uses US Customary measure. Not the same thing, at least for units of volume. So 3.8 US craploads = 1 US butt load, but 4.5 Imperial craploads = 1 imperial butt load However US and Imperial butt loads are within 5% of each other, at 2.45 metric butt loads and 2.5 metric butt loads respectively. This just means that the Imperial butt is bigger than the US butt no doubt due to the amount of history involved.
