Fahrenheit is basically "how warm is it outside right now, on a scale of 0 to 100", in that 0 degrees F is really cold and 100 degrees F is really hot whereas 0 degrees C is kind of cold and 100 degrees C is "maybe you should just stay inside because it is the apocalypse" I will die on this hill

Metric indisputably is better for unit conversion and having everything in base ten just makes loving sense.

I feel like it helps to know that when it's 0 degrees Celsius outside you need to watch out for ice.

Can you guys believe that most people on Earth measure time in multiples of 60, 60... and 24 😂😂😂 and, like, a month has 31 days, most of the time anyway, sometimes it's 30, and in exactly one case it's either 28 or 29 based on what year it is, lol ok makes perfect sense the perfect logical system of time measurement, as we all know, is Unix timestamps, and it's only a matter of time before the ignorant nations of the world get on board with this loquacius fucked around with this message at 20:40 on Dec 7, 2017 |

Samurai Sanders posted:Oh cool their parliament actually did what the majority of people wanted! I wish my country worked that way. The memory of when it worked that way fades a little bit more every day. I think the Australian parliament mostly didn't care either way. But the conservatives wanted a way to get out of it while still keeping the constituents. Now they had an excuse.

all forms of measurement pale in comparison to the universal oneness that is the Kelrasi, which is based on the undeniable truth and size of the human soul in proportion to the demonic realm of suffering. all things can be weighed by the essence that will be extracted in the shadowed lands of misery. the temperature right now is 14 points of blinding light, 3 braziers of molten regret, and 1 uncomfortable thanksgiving dinner TGLT fucked around with this message at 21:05 on Dec 7, 2017 |

Wait, what kind of slug weights a slug? The closest I can think of is a metal slug, and I didn't think those things were standardized.

I love the patriotic plumes of factory smoke in the background. e: holy poo poo - a whole page of metric vs imperial derail happened as I made this post. Time for four votmels of cartoons.  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8Well, at least he drew the whole thing, instead of poorly c/p'ing a stock angry arab like Gorrell did.  9 10 11 12 13You need a rhyme to finish this off, buddy. Lots of choice opportunities for "casket" and "gasket". How are so many cartoonists so bad at referencing songs/movies?  14 15*park bench collapses due to lack of maintenance*  16 17 18 19

The only rhyme from that scene is "it puts the lotion on its skin, or else it gets the hose again". "It places the lotion in the basket" is also a line from the same scene, and doesn't have a rhyme It just gets repeated as "PUT THE LOTION IN THE loving BASKET" IIRC e: I checked and it's actually "PUT THE loving LOTION IN THE BASKET"; I hosed up, sorry everyone
