It only seems ridiculous because you forgot some intermediates: 5.5 yards = 1 rod, 4 rods = 1 chain, 10 chain = 1 furlong, and 8 furlong = 1 mile.
So just gotta remember 12, 3, 5.5, 4, 10, 8. Super simple.
Who cares, it is just some funny and crazy inconsisten conversion to SI units. The whole system is defined by SI units at its base and the fedaral government is largely metric.
No, it’s not “Imperial units” and hasn’t been for a long time. It’s US Customary units. There are differences between the two systems. If your going to troll, get it right.
If you can’t, go back to your troll cave and cuddle your delicious stinky cheeses!

No safeword, no lube

Don’t make me math
Links and chains brings me back to my old drafting days. 10 square chains are 1 acre. 80 chains is a mile.
