  • Yes, I know that you use your own fucked up flavour of the Imperial system.

    The metric system is objectively a better system which is why you guys use it when it actually matters (except the times you fuck up because you use two different systems, like with the climate orbiter.)

    FYI: the metric system isn’t really “made up”. All SI base units are defined by physical constants. It’s also a logical system while the Imperial system was dreamt up by some mad lad.


  • This entire argument is obviously ridiculous from both sides but the main difference between the metric system and the Imperial system in this context is that almost everyone uses the metric system while pretty much only the USA uses the Imperial system.

    So the Imperial system can be blamed for any faults of the USA. But the opposite is ridiculous since that’s the standard. That would be like blaming Hitler on legs.

    And yes again, it’s incredibly ridiculous to blame anything on a system of measurement but if you are gonna do it the Imperial system makes way more sense to blame.
