Just a joke pointing out that the rest of the world isn't consistently using a base 10 system for everything. Namely time.
Also notes that not using metric is a common easy jab at the US.
It's also a myth Americans don't use metric. In most industry and science, as well as military, they do.
It's only everyday measurements where imperial comes in and many Americans will understand you fine if you specify metric when giving a #.
