not what I see in my feed, might depend on the interests you picked and whom you followed, etc

That’s because via GDP those two are at the same level even though they are different levels in their own country.

Lack of will on the part of Americans to engage on Chinese platforms like Xiaohongshu. The looming TikTok ban is what pushed people over the edge.

Yup. There are like 3 types of rulers: normal (a stick), foldable (this) and those retractable metallic strips.

Sticks are usually either 15 or 30 cm, while the foldables are literally always 2m.

The coils are the most ubiquitous, but I orefer the foldavles for most things since they tend to fall undet their own weight when measuring longer distances. These sre either 2 or 5 m I think.

Yeah.

The 30 cm is ubiquitous for officework or drawing, while this is for tiling floors, doing plumbing, measuring walls, roofs, etc. etc.. There are also those retractable coils (usually 2 or 5m), but they tend to break easily and collapse under their own weight, so they're not as useful for some things.

I can find one like this in basically any hardware store with few exceptions (Austria). They're almost exclusively 2m in length (I literally haven't seen a longer or shorter one ever in my life)

Also, a meter stick sounds workable, but borderline impractical.
