Why Doesn't the United States Use the Metric System?
We do in scientific fields, which honestly only complicates things even more.
>>52282319
They tried but gave up because the public whined about it
Why doesn't Europe use Esperanto?
>>52282319
they like to worship dead english kings
>>52282319
Because they are equally arbitrary
>>52282319
iirc they tried to move to metric in the 1970s but decided it would be too expensive
>>52283087
>land of the free
>uses the IMPERIAL system
at least we don't weigh our selves on Stone like the English.
>>52283724
That's cavemen tier shit
>>52283724
You measure bullets in grains
>>52283647
>equality talk from the country that spawned modern family
>>52282319
they use the metric system to an extent in science and new industries
the thing holding them back the most is quite trivial actually: money
it costs shitloads to convert all the industry to metric so they, quite justifiably so, say fuck metric and continue with things set up as they were ages ago
>>52283647
Ja but the metric system is easier to use.

>>52285097
How?
>imB4 muh prefixes that have nothing to do with metric
>>52285097
not if you're a carpenter. most euros use imperial.
>>52285836
>euro can't into fractions
I'm okay with this.
>>52282319
Because go fuck yourselves.
Next question.
Do you ameriniggers have non-SI units for magnetism electricity and shit like that?
>>52283647
>kilofoot
soulds like a fighting game special move
Because they're edgy. They even invented their own version of football just to be different from the old worlders.
BECAUSE WE HAVE THE FUCKING BOMBS THAT'S WHY
>>52287120
AND IT IS NOT EVEN PLAYED WITH FEET xDDDDDDDD HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA
>>52286322
How is having easy transitions between the units of measurment not easier?
>>52287161
Bravo.
>>52287161
I know right :D
They even play pesäpallo (baseball) wrong
>>52287202

>>52287240
They should just call it not-so-based-ball. Losers! xDD
>>52287190
He will try to deny the retardedness of his system by saying that you can use kilofoot and microcups and shit like that. But no one uses that shit because Its way easier to just use metric.
>>52287374
I've seen all kinds of "arguments" to be honest.
Inch is better because cm is just too small, god bless fractions!
But Farenheit is superior because it "finer grain" than celsius, you have more numbers between hot and cold :^)
>>52282319
We do
t. Scientist
>>52287478
Imo the most retarded nonargument is that the imperial system is better "for everyday life" or "to measure human comfort"
>>52282319
because they are imperialistic nation
We do, but in Science and math only.
The US Customary units sound much better in everyday conversation.
>>52287572
US doesn't use Imperial

Ai vittu vai? :D

My father's been a carpenter for 50 years, the only time he uses imperial is when talking about the dimensions of a piece of timber. Why the fuck would you use inches for precise measurement? He uses millimetres almost exclusively.
>>52289072
units divide into 3 and 4
>>52289640
Which would just confuse the matter, especially when adding measurements together
>>52287152
>tumblrfrog killing tumblr
would that technically be suicide? I can't tell.
>>52282319
We use a mix of both.
>>52290119
This. That's why it's called customary.
It doesn't manifest destiny
