It's Happening. Obamas executive order mandating US highways display metric units of measurement. We imperials won't put up with it.
Shameless self bump
>>77865228
that's not how bumps work faggot
also the ledditor where you got this from says you're wrong
you have to go back
>>77865124
It's been tried before, that's why our cars still have kilometers per hour.
>>77865291
Got it from /o/ faggot. It's pols duety to patrol other boards you know.
>>77865124
holy lmao
>>77865124
You do realize that this is not a bad thing, right? - Finally someone is forcing america to move towards being a first world country

>We imperials won't put up with it.
My ancestors are smiling at me, Imperials. Can you say the same?
>>77865478
THANKYOU THANKYOU
I've been looking for this image for over a year now, couldn't find it since I last saw it; I thought it was gone.
/pol/ runs this site
In all honesty we should switch. It's long overdue.
>>77865478
>Got it from /o/ faggot
why are you lying
>>77865528
No you don't understand. This is fucking horrible
The fucked up thing is that exit numbers are based off miles...
>>77865124
That's dangerously unreadable and confusing. Might as well have a phone number you can call while driving to hear the distance, it's just as distracting and useless.
READ SOME DAMN TUFTE HIGHWAY SIGN DESIGNERS, CARS USE MILES FOR ODOMETERS AND SPEEDOMETERS, SIGNS SHOULD USE THEM TOO
How much money is it gonna cost for this bull shit.
Obama is an idiot
>>77865844
Imperial units are almost universally better than metric for every day use. Having everyday measurement units scale by 10x is just fucking stupid.
Metric is better than imperial in math and science.
Nothing wrong with using both.
What's a mi?
>>77865124
>>77865291
>that's not how bumps work faggot
Are you going to say OP can't bump his own thread? Fuck off back to /b/ newfag.
>>77865977
Not really. They're based on milage from however long ago the exit was built -- as freeways have been realigned away from dangerous slopes and around dense urban areas, the milage has gotten further and further off.
Highway 101 in California has gotten 35 miles shorter since most exits were built, the exit numbers are all completely wrong the further north you get. I live off of exit 714 yet it's only mile 699 currently, and when a bypass down south is done it'll be mile 696.
imperial?
>>77866146

If you don't make it to the checkpoint in that amount of time you get a ticket

who's the newfag?
>>77865124
I live in Southern Arizona. My entire life my town has had metric road signs. The signs are finally coming down. Our news also used to show celcius, and now only F. We are demetricating The metric system is fucking useless.
>>77866158
Yes! OP can't bump his own thread.
Fucking summer newfags. I'm already sick of you cancerous cunts.

NOOOOooooooOOOOoo.
Fuck metric! That shit is for eurofags.
>>77866351
That makes sense
This is retarded our highway exit system is based on miles, they're all 1 mile away from eachother

That's a comma you third world shithole
Yuropoors are delusional in thinking there is any advantage to the metric system.
>>77866687
why do you "love" it, you silly little faggot?
at least obama did something right

We went to the moon with Imperial. Why exactly do we need to change?

I can't believe how many gullible retards here fell for this. Don't you think if Obama signed such an order, you'd have heard about it a little before an actual sign went up? Use your fucking brains.
also this is an old sign when they make a new one it will just have miles
>>77867771
I have to interchange between languages so often, I wouldn't even know.
Maybe I should mix things up just to be sure?

How expensive would it be to convert every highway sign in the US to Metric?
>>77865124
Old news Louisville fag
>>77868094
About 8 Billion dollars
>>77865228
Fuck your Farenheit, fuck your Gallons and fuck your Miles.
Only official scientific magnitudes.
>>77868236
Get a job you long haired Spaniard
>>77867615
You desperately want those trade deals so at least get the fuckin metric system so we can actually read the pricetag when being schemed on a daily basis by your so called ""economy""
>>77868331
Not an argument you fat lardo
>>77868657
rek'd.
>>77868657
Divide a meter by 3 and give me an even number. Go ahead, ill wait.
>>77868094
Just as expensive as you would replace them normally. You just replace them when they need replacing.
>>77868657
>>77868581
>>77868917
>>77868927
why would you do that? see, thats the problem: your stuff is all weird and uneven - just try 333mm? or 333333µm? whatever tolerance you are going for...
>>77869097
I don't want to be
>>77868927

The US military already uses metric. Get with the times, old man.

Faster, more accurate estimations.
your stupidity is overwhelming...
>>77866030
I say all signs due for replacement anyways, or new signs, get both systems
lolwut
I haven't seen anything about this supposed EO dude.
>>77869893
faster how? with a computer? computer doesnt give a shit, believe me.
Estimations? FUCKIN ESTIMATIONS? Do your shit precisely!
>>77865228
Whoever made that image does not know the following:
1) The metric measuring system
2) The imperial measuring system
3) Basic language skills
4) How to make a graph
>>77865478
>It's pols duety to patrol other boards you know.
If I want to "estimate" how long it's going to take me to drive 200km on the german Autobahn I'll just speed up to 200km/h and wait 1hour - "estimation" done.

Strawmen arent arguments.
>>77869745

Absolutely this. There is no point displaying distance in kilometres while your odos and speedos display MPH. Either adopt it entirely or leave it alone.

It's been a standard in the military for ages
I honestly get confused trying to remember both

>>77865124
Those foreign troops gotta know where they're going
Racist.
>>77865228
Even your own military disagrees with you.
They use the ISO date standard which is year month day.
>>77870548
>>77870215
You've just proven why imperial is hard to use.
In metric you do conversions by diving or multiplying by 10 instantly in your head
In imperial you do conversions by dividing or multiplying by random numbers, which can't be easily done in your head.
>>77870464
Display them both and slowly convert speedos into kilometers on newer cars. It's very simple. People are stupid, but they'll catch on.
>>77870961
Actually it's only harder in the short run, easier in the long run. But i guess youre right" this is a Belgian website, because America isn't#1.
Globalist shills itt

>>77871576
Fuck off. The U.S. government tried metric in the 1970s and no one wanted it. Stop trying to ramrod that shit down our throats.
>>77872214
In 1970 nobody wanted mexicants either :^)
Fuck I'm sick of metric. Let me keep my comfy imperial
Driving up 264/Gene Snyder in Louisville eh anon?
>>77872769
Not true at all.
In the 1970's Mexicans were seen as cool foreigners.
Hard workers but also capable of being suave cool guys.
Like Italians or Spaniards.
It wasn't until they came over in droves that the mystery wore off and we realized they're just as shitty as us, but brown.
>>77868198
>huge number of bridges and overpasses need major repairs or replacement
>spend $8 billion on road signs with metric on them
How the fuck can anyone think this man is a good president?
>>77873854
You don't replace them all at the same time. They're phased out when they need replacing. And they have both km and mi on them apparently.
When are you gonna switch to RHD masterrace?
>Disgusting yuropeons trying to push their Satanic-Bolshevik measurements system on us

Holy shit USA, metric system is better. Even UK use this system now
I'm happy for you, America. Things will make more sense now, it's easier this way.

Oh man, if only we could drop the third world measurements.

What about temperature?
Why stick to these Fahrenheiten?
And also stop calling your handegg football.
>>77874662
How great can metric be if third world garbage like Brazilians use it? It's like soccer in this regard.
No thank you.

>they're just as shitty as us
No axualy mexicoons are shittier. They are only brought here to enlarge the unskilled labor pool which drives labor costs down. Niggers were brought here for the express purpose of working in agriculture. Thats what they'd be doing now if it weren't for bullshit self-esteem campaigns that encourage excusing them from working in exchange for voting for Democrats.
>>77874516
Imperial was created by the British.
If you want to be free of foreign influence stop speaking English.
It's about fucking time. A rare plus in Obama's scorecard.
>>77882343
We're an ex-colony. Traditions inherited from our colonial crown are different and you know this.
The funny thing is you pussies never rebelled because muh England, muh Queen, but you systematically trash everything else, from the right to keep and bear arms to the imperial system. In 20 years you'll be a civil """law""" nation.
Disgusting.
