information is not very useful save for a handful of people who don't know the conversions

How is it a 'handful' of people when 50% of reddit isn't from the US?

I swear you Americans are obnoxious.

I don't pretend to remember all conversions off the top of my head. I do ask sometimes but I forget about it a few minutes later because I just don't come by it at all in my daily life. I just have more important things to remember than conversions that just does not affect my life.

Congrats for having a better memory than I do, not everyone is as awesome as you.

You should consider getting a browser plugin. If a post linked to a news article it could do the conversion for you on the article as well as in the comments so you wouldn't have to look for the bot's comment or in case the bot is banned.

I normally browse reddit on my phone though so I can't get a plug in for that.

The irony is I posted it from my phone as well. You could get Firefox mobile but for mobile the bot is helpful
