Ease of use is actually a significant factor in the desirability of a system. Given that they are both equally arbitrary in their set of standards, Imperial wins because FUCK YOU, SINCE EUROPOORS CONVERTED TO METRIC JUST TO GIVE AMERICA THE MIDDLE FINGER AND CALL THEM BACKWORDS SLOBS WHO COULDN'T GET ON WITH THE TIMES, SUPERPOWER ENVY MUCH
>>77908814
>Northerner detected.
pretty much the only argument for imperial is that it's easy to estimate in real life situation since you use body parts and shit. this is only an advantage for dumb burgers though, literally everyone with tripledigit IQ can draft the length of a meter, centimeter, decimeter with only miniscule error margins
i mean even if you're dumb as a burger you can still help yourself by measuring your dick once and then in your mind using projections of your dick and it's multiplies as a measuring tape. a meter is half of your body length if you aren't a manlet etc.
>>77906610
Metric doesn't relate to day to day life. One hundred degrees is reasonably the hottest temperature I'll be exposed to, zero is the coldest. A mile is how far you can walk in ten minutes, a man is six feet tall, six being half of twelve, twelve inches to a foot. Your thumb is an inch long.
>>77906610
Because the metric system was invented by the French.
>>77909040

>>77909008
>muh body parts
Has it ever occured to you that peoples body parts have different lengths?
You will always only get rough estimates with imperial as well
>>77906610
Because a 12 based system allows for a greater number of dividers while not straying from the collection of integers than a 10 based system.
i.e. 10 can be divided by 1, 2, 5 and 10 and result in an integer.
12 can be divided by 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12 and result in an integer.
That's about it, though.

>A mile is how far you can walk in ten minutes
>Although walking speeds can vary greatly depending on many factors such as height, weight, age, terrain, surface, load, culture, effort, and fitness, the average human walking speed is about 5.0 kilometres per hour (km/h), or about 3.1 miles per hour (mph). Specific studies have found pedestrian walking speeds ranging from 4.51 kilometres per hour (2.80 mph) to 4.75 kilometres per hour (2.95 mph) for older individuals and from 5.32 kilometres per hour (3.31 mph) to 5.43 kilometres per hour (3.37 mph) for younger individuals;[3][4] a brisk walking speed can be around 6.5 kilometres per hour (4.0 mph).[5]
This is, my dear friends, typical Imperial system users. Making everyday measurements with 200% error.

>>77906610
The most amusing part about the imperial system is how most Americans you meet aren't even capable of relating to it themselves. Ask any European to pour a liter of water into a bucket and they'll pour it within the interval 0.8-1.2 liters. Ask an American to pour a quart or four cups, 32 floz or any such value and they will have no idea how much it is. You'd get anything from one cup to one gallon, and you'd have to convert it into metric units to even calculate how fucking terrible Americans are at their own units. Ask them for the temperature of the water and they'll say it's in the "50s" or "60s", and they lack the competence to determine the temperature to a higher level of precision than that, if their assessment of the temperature is even correct, which it rarely is since they can't relate the temperature to natural phenomena as Europeans are taught to do as children.
>>77910850
WHY IS ANZU SO PERFECT. GIVE ME ANSWERS
>>77911203
They wouldn't need to be more than a little long. I don't lay my thumb end to end or mark. I lay it out, then twist my wrist around to keep the point on the spot, then move the joint back to that point. It gains ground. Knowing what I know now, I'll use elbow to wrist from now on
>>77906610
Neither system is better. They're simply systems of measurement. One is more widely used than the other.
>>77911440
Our temp goes in smaller intervals. Low 60s is accurate enough
>>77911440
To be fair most Americans barely have an education or pay attention to the world around them. Once upon a time you could point and say, "hey remember that two liter bottle of soda?" or "oh, yeah, my water bottles hold half a gallon." But the Jews literally are hard at work trying to cleverly reduce package size while increasing cost to because we're in an "economic recovery."
Kids these days don't have a chance.
The imperial measurement system definetely falls under the category of pranks that went way to far.

Also when Americans say how much they make in an hour or a year, is so fucking hard to say how much you make in a month? Every fucking bill comes at the end of the month so why you niggers don't say how much you make a month?

Because Imperial was an organic development that was codified, promotes abstract thinking and connects people with their past all while being a perfectly serviceable and usable form of measurement.
Metric is literally some Frenchmen wanting to destroy the past and promote utopian thinking by removing people from the culture and ideas of their ancestors. It's just as arbitrary and abstract as Imperial without any of the organic development.
