Feet and Inches is a much better way to measure a human being than centimetres and miles are much better for measuring distance than kilometres but other than that I broadly prefer metric

Manager Hoyden posted:I have never run into a situation in my entire life that would be made even slightly easier or better in any way by using the metric system. How about scaling recipes? Instead of knowing how many tablespoons are in a cup or whatever, you just do some very simple maths. Or measuring stuff? No converting inches/feet/yards/miles, it's just moving a decimal point.

“Metric tonnes” are tremendously daft and we should call that quantity the megagram.

why do y'all say 185cm instead of 1.85m? I think that's what breaks American brains, because everyone knows a meter is a little longer than a yard but you start saying big numbers of centimeters and like whoa

‘Centi’, ‘deci’, ‘deca’, and ‘hecto’ are all bad and we should skip to the powers of one thousand.

No one who's ordering a beer cares about the exact measure they're getting, you just pick whichever glass size is close enough. better for me in terms of I know what a 6 foot tall person looks like, I know what it feels like to walk a mile

It's super difficult to write a song bridge thats not awkward and out of place christmas boots posted:I have similar feelings about Fahrenheit this is absolute madness. at least when I prefer miles or feet theres no starting base, Celsius literally has water freezing at 0 and boiling at 100, you couldn't make up a more perfect system if you tried

At 0 F it’s cold as gently caress, at 100F it’s hot as gently caress. At 70 it’s perfect and I might want to wear a jacket if it’s at 60 I’d use Celsius for any real science but i personally find Fahrenheit more intuitive at a glance if I want to know how to dress for the day

Metric is great for when I have to do anything with conversions but since I didn’t grow up with it it’s not as intuitive as whacky units like feet/inches or degrees Fahrenheit.

Your face is blooming with acne you're suffering from mild depression and anxiety just from your puberty and such. Do you really want to be head taller than most of your classmates at this point? A target for bullies who know drat well that height is not going to give you the ability to fight back and in fact are looking at you a little like they look at their abusive fathers.

Anyone who still likes bill de blasio goes to the gulag with him Also the “fahrenheit feels natural” thing is just as “I grew up with this” as thinking cm are the logical way to measure human height. No one has ever been like “gently caress will today be a warm 17 or a cool 17?” Edgar Allen Ho has a new favorite as of 00:07 on Dec 10, 2020 |

Farenheit is more granular across the spectrum of commonly encountered environmental temperatures and so it feels better to use.
