Fuck off, yuropoor. Your time on the village computer is up

why the fuck would you always want to say it’s the 21st day of May 2019 when you can just say it’s May 21st 2019?

Most people say the month, then the day, when speaking. May 7th...Not "the 7th of May."

Yes because look how neatly all of the units divide into each other, what an amazing system, its a wonder that you are the ONLY country that uses the system

>there's no utility
Scientifically, yes there is.
If you are building something or need exact measurements the metric system is superior.
But visually it is easier for is to imagine a distance in something that is more familiar.
Say you are going to measure the length of your desk. Meters are a bit big for you to imagine and centimeters are too small. A foot is a good standard.
You have probably memorized the length of a ruler in centimeters and use that as a standard for when you are attempting to visually measure an object.
We just use foot for that visualization.
Since most of our construction workers are not well educated people they retain the imperial system because they rely on visual more than scientific measurements.

uh oh someone call the feelings ambulance we have an emergency here

What the fuck do you even mean?

We don't have diaries we aren't little libtard fairy faggots

The American education systems failure to adopt metric is because of flip floppy presidents. If they had gone balls to the wall and changed it at the same time everyone else had then by now people would think in reference to metric units. But I understand where you are coming from, there are still some old people here who use imperial because metric was introduced after their time.

Don't worry about my fee fees amerimutt, I'm not cucked like your people are so I don't cry ptsd whenever someone says something I don't like :^)

>American education systems failure to adopt metric
all laboratory settings use metric in the US.
It is mostly engineers that still encourage imperial.
Miles/hour in cars and on roads are civil engineers doing.
We are familiar enough with both systems imperial is just easier for us to visualize I guess.

well customary vs. metric is basically an economic thing at this point. Since most machinery, roads and shit, maps and software used in the States are done in Customary it's a huge undertaking to change it all and EXTREMELY expensive,, even if it would help the economy in the long term. The big problem with that is that the US political system incentives officials to implement short-term improvements that boost the economy in the "now" rather than looking too far into the future because of voter pressure. It gets more complicated from there but basically it's the political system that makes politicians more money and office terms if they don't change it. Also education system would have to change and a bunch of older adults would get pissy having to learn something new and 'MURICA

the american education system is a failure to begin with.i mean,you morons elected donald fucking trump

i've always been taught the american way because i live in america, lmao. but it's not hard to read it the other way either, people are just retarded

this viewpoint is borne of the education system in the US. If you grew up on meters and centimeters you wouldn't have such a hard time.
Source: grew up in France till middle school then came to the US. I'm familiar with both units, and can think using both of them

You really do suck at life....

America DID fail to adopt the metric system, look it up.

Hey mane, theres no need for that.

BUT WHY?!?

Which do you prefer? I don't think there's any need to over-complicate things, if american children can't be taught to multiply and divide by 10/100/1000 to convert in metric then there's no hope for them.

fuck you french faggot,stick a bagguete up your ass and go back to france,america is for americans.not you french pieces of shit

>can think using both of them
Most Americans can and do.
a meter is pretty much a yard.
a centimeter is a micro-inch
a mile is ~2 kilos
a pound is ~0.5 kilos
2 quarts is ~1 liter

>look it up
yea because they tried to do an all or nothing change.
it is happening gradually.
we even have vehicles and road signs with both on them to accommodate.

there is nothing for foot in metric and I think that is why Americans like imperial.

Don't take this personal but I think your bias.

that's the one thing that metric doesn't have, but honestly I can get by pretty ok with M/CM or like tenths of a meter (generally written like 1.1m because nobody actually says Decimeter)

that's fucking awesome.

yeah Celsius makes more sense it's just how I personally think

I could care less, but not much.
also, checkem

Celsius does not have enough whole numbers in the normal outdoor temperature range.

The same reason you do it the other way, or use the language you use. Because it's the standard of the society you live in.

Stop being a complete faggot and use kelvin

>Decimeter
Still not even close to a foot.
If metric had a 30cm standard measurement or even a 50 we would be more prone to use it but that would fuck up the entire system.
Foot is just so handy.

1 foot = 30.48cm.

The fact that there's no measurement that is close to a foot is kind of irrelevant because you have to be using imperial to care about feet / inches. And why would you care, when there is a superior measuring system available.

But WHY when your country is of English origin did you guys suddenly decide, fuck it, lets screw everything up?

So when out in public you say "let's hang out on the 25th day of may" instead of "let's hang out may 25th" okay retard sure you so

foot is just as useless as inch

who cares where water boils? Do you actually ever use that measurement?
this is the only temp that matters and neither system is based on it.
98.6°F (37°C)

>foot is just as useless as inch
cm and meter are just as arbitrary otherwise you wouldn't need to lock up the originals and they would never change.(which they do)

No we would say "the 25th of may" which makes perfect sense, you wouldn't say may in which it is the 25th day of which it is the year 2019 which is basically longhand for what may 25th would be.

imagine not having the firepower to impose your will on the rest of the world

all that "of" shit is silly

may 25th

to the point

There actually is a reason but I can't remember it. I think it might be because you don't need to write the year usually, and it makes sense to specify MONTH before DAY (as it makes more sense logically, instead of thinking backwards from 20th of May to May 20th, which is the way we SAY it)

>Still using years based on when a guy who never existed died.
Seriously, why do Europoors use years after Jesus died (2019 AD) when they are all godless heathens?

>cm and meter are just as arbitrary otherwise you wouldn't need to lock up the originals and they would never change.(which they do)
SI just reorganizes the meter as dependent on light
yeah they were set on a 40000/th of earth circumference or so, and then someone made a stick of it
it's locked up because it's old, nothing else
the new meter is arbitrarily set so it has the same length as the old or people would find each and every measurement change in size
but now it's based on nature's constants so no one needs that stick anymore.

Yes, because dividing by random ass fucking numbers is much easier than dividing by 10/100/1000

Celsius does make more sense, even in your example Fahrenheit gives yet another random ass decimal number.

I don't think you know what arbitrary means my friend

its only one syllable and it makes all the difference

I get what ya mean, ty for giving a sensible answer unlike your retarded counterparts.

imagine bringing that up in a conversation about the date, typical amerimutt.

>54% of Americans have visited 10 or less states
Shouldn't it be fewer? Also, who cares? They're all the same.

works the same for 25th may.

Technically from a logical standpoint the system is flawed both ways. Had this discussion when making clone backups at work and sorting them by date so we knew which was newest with the serial number as the PC name.
It should 20190521. This would make sorting by name/date is easy to find order. Followed by identification number, be is serial, asset or other methods.

Christians wrote down the measurement system.
We use it because someone started it and it puts a zero point to the system.
The scientific measurement of time changes constantly and it far too abstract for people to mark history with.

You do realise that centimeters exist right? People convert from mm to cm all the time, and yes maybe then from cm to km. People use shit like this for trig, architecture, all kinds of shit, its far more useful to be able to do those conversions easily.

20190521 is just the inverse of the way non-americans right the date. It will never be useful to not have the numbers cascade chronologically.

Nah, it's mainly the US Automotive industry. It's gone to great lengths to make sure standard remains the standard. The public doesn't have any incentive to bother using an alternative like metric, but other industries do use metric extensively. As a machinist I use both. My brain thinks in standard though, and alway will.

Month comes BEFORE the day Euronigger.

Dating in that fashion was needed because we often re-deployed equipment to new users. There could even be up to 6 people using the same equipment in the end. If we had to extract information from 1 specific user the date in the name was needed to determine the correct person. We then searched for only their equipment serial, matched the termination date and did what we had to do. year/month/day made the most sense from a sorting standpoint based on file name.

Nobody gives a shit about your 2nd world continent. Imagine being a German engineer and having the same salary as an American Costco worker. And that's the best the EU has to offer. Sad!

The UK still technically uses both. We inherited Standard from them originally. It wasn't that long ago that metric wasn't the official standard there either.

Neither way is actually superior since neither one has any effect on anything.

both america and europe is shit

I already tried explaining that to him here
But he just wants to be a nigger and argue

Those fuckers use stone as a measure of weight.

>centimeters exist
ah yes the wild centimeters that migrate together once a year in the grand measurement hall to make sure that they are all perfectly aligned.

>My brain thinks in standard
That's because the measurements themselves are more friendly to human sizes.
centimeter is too small and meter is too big.
inch and foot are just right.
I think that is why americans like them.
they are easy to work with in the day to day.

Imagine raising the minimum wage that ridiculously high and then not knowing why you're suffering from inflation.

we use mp/h in cars but thats about it, all the people who use imperial are too old to work now and thus the use of the system in the UK dies with them.

we use grams and kilograms...

You are out of your mind pal, your entire argument is "but muh stupid amerimutt brain can't handle metric"

America First, usa..usa..

Hurr durr, durr... durr......

>we use grams and kilograms...
The old Brit I knew used stone when talking about how much a person weighed. prob cause old

>but muh stupid amerimutt brain can't handle metric
I've already said we think in both and that inches and feet are superior when it comes to human ergonomics while metric is more suited to micro and macro research.

Average amerimutts do not think in both metric and imperial and you would be stupid to think so. Human ergonomics does not matter unless you are estimating the length / height of something, using more precise measurements is benificial as you will always end up closer to a whole number, thus making them easier to work with.

Yeah, that might have been the case, but the same can be said of any old people, they all say / do / use out dated things.

I write it like that because i was taught to

Fair enough bruh,
also check'd

>Human ergonomics does not matter
>more precise measurements

kek ok bro

Some would argue that human ergonomics is the ONLY thing that matters.

>Average amerimutts do not think in both metric and imperial
I can from nowhere'sville south dakota.

Human ergonomics isn't even a factor worth worrying about.

And ah, you're a country bumpkin, that might be why you're having such a hard time understanding whats going on.

>Human ergonomics isn't even a factor worth worrying about
Excuse me while I ram this 400 meter tall, splintering wooden log up your anus for lumbar support.

This. Customary wins.

Thinking in even increments of 10s is actually easier and more sensible than converting fractions. I've just been using Standard my entire life now, and old habits die hard

You said you work in mechanics though right?
I'd consider that a near micro system since you need a lever of ~1ft long to do your most precise work.
You don't need a wrench with a handle a meter long nor would one a cm long help.
Human ergonomics is the imperial system.

Because in human affairs the month is the most important, follwed by what day of the month. How often do you wonder "what year is this?" that's why the year is last
