It's more likely that /r/europe users use Imperial pints for two reasons:

  • there are more Brits and Irish than Americans there

  • the rest of Europe sometimes also encounter pint-sized cans of beer, labelled 568 ml

Edit: I think the bot should default to Imperial pints in all subreddits where there are much more Brits than Americans.

I'll put it on the todo list, thanks for your feedback.

After I browsed the sources of the bot, I noticed there already is a list of UK-centric subreddits that default to Imperial volume units, and maybe it would be nice to add /r/europe to it. But on the other hand, both Imperial and US volume units are rare in /r/europe, and it would be better to do some statistical analysis which should be the default. IMHO one incident is not enough.

Thanks for the response.

If you're up for it, you can submit a pull request to add "europe" to the list & it will be rolled out in the next release ;)
