Why are Americans the only ones still using this stupid system of measurement?

I understand both because I am educated

Because its too ingrained. We have over 300 million people here legally. Another 40 million that aren't and can't be bothered to learn anything besides where to get handouts.

How are we supposed to get all of that to give up all they know, all in the name of something that doesn't work better, just slightly easier to remember?

because we believe in hard work, not just dividing/multiplying everything by 10. get a work ethic faggot

It is used for the very same reason that it infuriates so many people so much, it is hard for the simple minded to convert to metric from standard.

why not walk to work instead of driving then, you lazy fucking cunt? get a work ethic faggot

i mean it worked in the entire rest of the world, which is laughing at you for using your shitty, unwieldy bullshit units

i do, bitch. try again

bureaucrats kept leaving to next year and they lost the timing...if it was to be change today I think most countries wouldn't like to use the metric system either...I think most countries that adopted it post-war probably still use their original systems on the side

Because it confuses brainlets. Anyone can learn metric, but it takes a while to learn imperial. When we colonize you guys it’ll be easy to understand everything, but if you guys come here you’ll probably die of a brain malfunction. Imperial is a power move.

You forgot about Myanmar (Burma) the only other country to stop developing after the 50s.

I seriously thought this was a PC vs console thread.
How is Terraria on console vs PC? Is it as fun? Less fun because controllers? Can you VR it?

you can divide any length into halves thirds quarters sixths and 12s geometrically using imperial, you cant on metric, which is very useful for engineering purposes

sure you do fatass

Hard work, you americans actually have one of the worst educational systems, the only reason you shine so much is because of those luck strikes you had in history, most of your doctors, engineers and scientists are foreigners, dont come up with that "we believe in hard work" shit fag

Terraria with a controller is fucking trash, as most games originally made for using a mouse+keyboard are

>unit system is the reason we went to the moon, not all the nazi scientists who built the rockets

you forgot the number one reason why we shine so much, freedom

>america is free
sure thing porky

I’ve never seen a bigger cope.

places that use the imperial system:
USA
moon

Tell me more about the EU’s attempts of giving cartoons rights.

no capitalist nation state has freedom, comes with the definition

are you trying to use a pig as an insult because of how well established muslims are in your country or something? shit doesn't work like that over here.

>ACKSHUALLY

Wow sorry you aren't the only retards who still abide by UK imperial systems. SORRY you are not alone, you have other autist friends

that's from soviet anticapitalist propaganda, dumbass
nothing to do with mudslimes

Metric is no different than the imperial system though. There it is arbitrary number that someone created it doesn't make them true it is makes it easier for you and for your information the United States does use the metric system. It's just people rather use the imperial system in personal life. You never been in America have you? Everything has a metic equivalent. Everyfuckingthing. Just gas stations do gals and roads have miles.. like the uk.

of couse there are equivalences, both represent the same underlying reality
problem is one has very easy conversion rates, one is all over the fucking place

It's not correct to mock Americans. You would not mock other empoverished countries if they were not white.

But is america really white anymore?

That was funny, but you're still a faggot.

It was not meant to be funny. I am genuinely sorry for our American friends.

because who cares about a few lost space probes because of measurements fuck ups

Metric is the Esperanto of measurement systems with the only difference being people actually use it.

Honestly Europeans are far more concerned about this than most Americans

yeah because our satellite plans get fucked by you brainlets being unable to use real units

american here. it's obv cuz im 2 dmb durrr haha fuck me in my boipus

tbh inch - foot is base 12 and is much easier to subdivide into thirds.
Eurocucks out here trying to figure out how to measure out a third of a meter. Yeah Hans, just get me a piece of wood that's 33.3333333333 cm long. How is this easier?

Yo Jack, get me a third of a yard of yarn. Here yo go, bill. Here are the 4 inches of yarn you wanted.

Europeans are hung up on a system that's simpler for their simple minds. American system is just as arbitrary as the European system. Europeans just have this inferiority complex.

In conclusion, fuck Europe.

Thank you!!!

The reason is because of the cost. Changing all the roadsigns, textbooks, and also getting the population to accept it.

>theres 1 benefit to a shit-ass measurment system

Fahrenheit scale is based on the smallest unit of temperature change an average human can detect.

Centigrade is almost completely arbitrary. The boiling and freezing points of water differ greatly when pressure changes, shit gets dissolved, etc.

Kelvin is a step better, but Rankine combines the benefits of Fahrenheit with the actual utility of centigrade.

There is no argument for Centigrade/Celsius. A slight argument for Fahrenheit and Kelvin. Rankine is the true master race tho.

Also, the meter and kilogram are arbitrary as fuck. the Pound and Yard are no better or worse. We SHOULD have units that are based on inherent properties of matter in the Universe, not arbitrary human-scale bullshit.

daily reminder the soviets defeated the nazis, americans just cleaned up the remnants

The meter is based on the properties of the universe. It's now defined based on the speed of light.

Same with the kg. Google it.

no, its not. Its based on a wrong reading of a body temperature and a coldest day
it changes in fahrenheit too

pond and yard r even more arbitrary than a kilogram and a meter and they r based on non-physical objects, currently

The US is metric, everywhere it counts, but yeah, lots of imperial crap still around so its gonna take a while, also just laugh at the yokels, yes yes your shitty measuring = freedom.

I use metric but F is best temp unit. F is based.

because we do what we want. it's as simple as that.

Why do you care what we do? What business is it of yours?

why do americans make muh patriotic boomer captions out of the online t-shirt shop guy?

makes international cooperation shitty and clumsy, see satellites

based

because using things based around tens is fucking stupid. "yeah cunt my cock is 6 centimeters" it makes no fucking sense relative to the scale of our world. at least a foot is not 100 fucking inches

no, its not

lmao keep pretending
thanks to trump, we will soon see how bad america without any allies will do

You're just too retarded to remember them. Its alright tard

>I am genuinely sorry for our American friends.
>American friends
>friends
And here we see your problem, the source of your sadness. No American is anyone's "friend". You are their "customers" or "cheap labor".

ICYMI, the soviet union is dead. You can stop aping their propaganda any time now.

Don't be a fucking retard. We use metrics all the time. Just look at my tool set. I can't get my battery out of my car without a metric wrench.

Quit blaming your fallacies on others. You're just like those red necks bitching about Obama. Fucking faggot

Work smarter not harder.
I constantly have to do conversions for brainlets like you.
>how many cups do I add to 300 gal of water at 1tsp/gal.
The quick and easy answer is turn the measuring cup around and fill to 1500ml.
The imperial answer is to Google the conversion chart(s). And more than likely end up with partial cups anyways.

government and other institutions use the metric system. only the public uses imperial for things that don't really matter. everything that matters, like currency, is metric also 2 liter soft drinks to wash down your quarter pounder...
