Dude what fuck is a meetur?
They should have done this in the 70s fuck Reagan he was an absolute retard.
*Meedur
oh yeah
They've been teaching metric in our schools for decades. Does journalism in Europe have no fact checking?
Since the 1970s the inch and pound are already defined by a ratio to the meter and kilogram, they're half way there.
I'm guessing it means they're going to prioritize metric over imperial instead of just teaching us the concept and leaving it at that. Probably part of an initiative to gradually switch the whole country to metric. Wouldn't be surprised if we adopt celsius temperature too.
I get metric, but I like fahrenheit over celsius because it's more useful for measuring weather temperature.
>but I like fahrenheit over celsius because it's more useful for measuring weather temperature.
This retarded shit again
Every time.
Celsius is based on the freezing and boiling point of water.
0F- very cold 100F very hot
0C- pretty chilly 100C all life purged in solar holocaust
I hate to bring it to you but Fahrenheit is also based on the freezing and boiling point of water, just with more retarded numbers.
>Probably part of an initiative to gradually switch the whole country to metric.
Will never happen. It would be too expensive and too much of a headache for our politicians to ever give it serious consideration.
>What are negatives
Also, who gives a fuck? What is the difference between 87 and 90F? You can't even feel temperature with that granularity, the only thing that matters is the 8+ degree increments it will go through.
Metric is prioritized. I NEVER used any form of imperial units in any of my science classes.
>You can't even feel temperature with that granularity
Yes, you can. Don't assume everyone is autistic like you.
0C is the freezing point and 100C is the boiling point. It's literally the exact same but even
Same here, but I'm talking about integrating it into daily life like in other countries.
Yes, that's what I said. But I'm talking about weather.
Kilomehdurs
I don't see any benefit to the US switching to the metric system. It's not as though we have faced any kind of problems using the imperial system instead. Why would we switch? Just to be more like the rest of the world? What's the benefit of that that would outweigh the huge mess that it would involve.
>It's not as though we have faced any kind of problems using the imperial system instead.
Literally rockets falling from the sky.
bro, you're gonna get ameri-bear'd
Hate to break it to you but considering freezing and boiling point of water is more intuitive to modern life than measuring weather, which won't go up to 100 C anyway, assuming.
Meanwhile when cooking noodles you can stare at it and realize it's 100 C when it starts vaporing.
Why are Europeans so ignorant? They just make up blatantly false shit about the US and take it as fact.
Calms their insecurity about the US living rent free in their minds.
Metric shills actually believe it's more logical than Imperial system.
Hey metric fags, what size monitor are you reading this post on?
>untied sharts of amerimutt
>existing in 2023
Metric isn't perfect but it's obviously easier to use.
>me'ah
Yep, this is what metric shills will never admit, the units of measurements are completely arbitrary once you have established some internal meaning to what they mean. It's completely pointless to switch to a metric system, it serves no purpose in the US.
hey metric fags, what size jeans are you wearing?
76cm as it said on the box
This. If the length of my dick was used as a unit to measure things with, it wouldn't matter as long as everyone else uses it consistently. I don't get why this is a thing so many people think they need to care about.
>1 instance where imperial prevails vs
>Almost every other instances when it doesnt
Wait, do you think US clothing measurements are global?
hey metric fags, what altitude did your last plane trip cruise at (ruskies not included)?
It will never happen. The imperial system has become almost part of the constitution and the evangelical bible, they will acknowledge its existence and teach kids how to make the conversion so they can forget about it later and that's it.
>need wood
>go to store and ask for 2x4
>meanwhile in europe
>"Excusé moi sir do you have le 7.6x10.16 in stock?"
Europeans don't build their house out of toothpicks.
>euros still live in mud huts
oh no no no no
The problem with doing it in the 70s was that they changed it all at once. People who used imperial their whole lives were expected to learn a totally new system. This is a much better approach that will transition much better
>7.6x10.16
Firstly 2x4s are 1.5x3.5, also those conversions are way off
>euro cave men pile up rocks to make fake cave to feel at home
The only time a captain ever announced our altitude over the intercom it was in meters. What exactly is your point?
>also those conversions are way off
No they're not.
Only for calculations, but for actual representation of what X means in terms of length, temperature etc it is completely arbitrary in both systems, you learn the rough values of how much it is an both systems by continuous reinforcement not some kind of natural measurement system inside us.
Yep, exactly this.
Where did you get that 2 inchs is 7.6cm?
>American proves why his retarded system of rollercoaster conversion rates is bad
Streamlining production for both the domestic and international market is a bad thing?
How does it even work in the US, they do just a bit of both or what?
what's your point? Wood is sold in cubic meters here.
>using volume unit for spatial dimensions
uhmmm sweetie? you having an aneurism or something?
>Only for calculations
Obviously, and how is the rest of your little story supposed to be a counterargument?
Metric just werks.
planes use feet for altitude with the exception of russia and a few post soviet shitholes
