I am not a water I am a human being and 0 is cold and 100 is hot, not like 0 is a thing for me atomically and 100 is the next thing too, so keep it hunderd imo and use the human based system. Customary has a bunch of units per measurement and metric system has one and a bunch of words like kilo and milli which they think is metric only but have they heard of a kilofoot or a milliinch?? Never change America, stick to your guns

First you steal the worst country from them and now you're trying to take credit for the worst system of measurements. "Customary System" indeed.

I think sports announcers should bring up how many inches are in a yard and (I doubt it will ever come up) how many meters are in a kilometer as a sort of like flouride for hardening our minds.

Nah because a truck would need to be like at least as tall as that tree over there to for some people to fit in it. Plus my cousin is as fat as that rock so it would need to be able to carry like at least 7 really big rocks because I've seen people way fatter than my cousin.

The metric and imperial systems are out of touch with real needs. Anything beyond computing grain storage volume is bullshit and fake.

Rescale the metric system so a "meter" is the length currently assigned to one foot. Start using decimeters. The answer is, somewhere in the middle

The answer is, somewhere in the middle the foot is unironically a really conveniently scaled unit of measurement. oi ya mate me room is 2.8 by 4.4 meters, it's a bit tough to fit a good sized bed in when you're 187cm.

Kelvins are unscientific poo poo, ask any thermodynamics scientist and they'll tell you that Kelvins have horsecrap like negative temperatures that are hotter than all positive temperatures, because they screwed up on defining the unit and actually cold is more fundamental than heat.
