Brits use imperial for most things and metric for others. Officially they're metric but everyone kind of ignores that.
We use metric for a lot of things too, like buying soda and drugs.

It depends on what you're used to, but metric is quite objectively better for scientific purposes
>>52464141
no it's not
Celsius is designed to be easy to understand
Fahrenheit is designed to be accurate and provide tangible numbers
Kelvin is pretty much only used in science
>>52463819
You can use decimals to increase the accuracy. There's really no need though since you can't feel the difference between e.g. 65°F and 66°F, which is about 0.5°C.

Sound argument friend.
Then you should use mili-Celsius (mC°).
Water freezes at 0 mC°, evaporates at 100.000 mC° and temperature of comfort is 23.000 mC°.
After all 1 mC° is worth less than 1 Fahrenheit rigth?

we did go the moon
and guess what? The American flag on the moon is measured in Inches, not whatever metric uses
it would be incredibly expensive to convert millions of road signs and other indicators of measurement. the answer is always money.
it's not that big of a deal considering we do learn metric for math and science.
>>52464679
literally nobody changes gears like that by aligning them to speed
>>52464708
And why do the dimensions of the flag matter
>>52464715
also every computer would be updated, all of NASA's original computers (like the ones that take in Voyager I's data) are all in Imperial and not metric. Same for the military, all the ICBMs we have are configured in Imperial and not metric as well

Of course this varies by car, which is why you have a tachometer and listen to the engine sound.

The facts stand for themselves. It's called Imperial for a reason.
>>52464823
You use 5th gear when you drive in 50km/h. What cars have you driven?
>>52464931
We technically don't use imperial, we use a special snowflake version of it called customary. You'll notice we don't use stones.
>>52464961
>The facts stand for themselves
I don't even understand what you're trying to say
>>52464715
But it wouldn't, and it would repay itself quite quickly. When most people think of replacing signs they imagine the entire sign will have to be replaced (expensive). What really happens is the new metric number is pasted on top of the old and the same sign now says "800 m" instead of "1/2 MILE", inexpensive and quick.

The US doesn't use imperial though.

Volvos mostly, and an Audi or two. In all of them 50 km/h was too slow for the 5th gear, but at around 60-65 km/h you can usually shift.
>>52465015
the real reason is we don't want to, and we don't have to. the rest of the world could be bombed into piles of rubble and we would be fine
>>52464931
This. I don't get why other Americans get so buttmad trying to defend it either. Both systems are fine.

>>52465015
This would look like garbage.
>>52465015
>and it would repay itself quite quickly.
It would take over 50 years to pay itself off. Until everyone who grew up with Imperial died off, they would be asking for things in Imperial and would not understand metric things. Imagine going to a store and having a line of people at a scale because only one of them knows how to convert grams to ounces.
>What really happens is the new metric number is pasted on top of the old and the same sign now says "800 m" instead of "1/2 MILE"
And then everyone takes their traffic tickets to court, because they can't read the kp/h dial underneath the much larger mp/h one. The problem with that though is because the kp/h dial is usually hard to see, it becomes an ADA compliance issue as well.
So at the end of it, the court system is clogged up by people who can't read metric. This costs a lot of money.

>Until everyone who grew up with Imperial died off, they would be asking for things in Imperial and would not understand metric things.
Some would, some wouldn't. Australia did a very successful conversion to metric in the 70s.

Maybe you've heard of stickers? They can be pasted on the dashboard covering the old units and showing only metric. Or customary units in small print. Cheap and effective.
>>52465328
So you finally admit it's just because you're idiots?
>>52463819
You can get a more accurate reading of speed using kilometres/hour. Because 1 km/h is worth less than 1 mile/h.
>>52465440
Or you could've learned the fucking units instead of messing it up like that like a retard.

No, it's just that here we're free to contest tickets we're given in court. Most people don't, but the threat of mass protest (by requiring a court to actually hear you out in person at cost to them) is there. That's what Freedom is all about.

>>52465464
1. Australia is a British country, and therefore full of useless cunts that will blindly accept anything the limeys give them
2. NHTSB regulations do not allow any sort of stickers on gauge clusters. This is why there are no sticker replacements for gauge clusters here in the US, only full panel replacements. This is unlikely to change ever.

In my state every car requires a safety inspection once every five years. Stickers on the gauge cluster = automatic fail. Which means your car gets towed if a police officer ever pulls you over.
In any state, police officers have the right to determine if your car is road-safe and complies with safety laws (such as having a minimum distance off the ground, or between the wheel and wheel well), which also includes tailpipe emissions, placard placement, complaint seatbelts (no NHTSB compliant five-point seatbelts exist and many tuners get fucked over it) and having an obstruction-free gauge cluster. Your car gets towed if it fails any of these tests, and must be towed out of the impound lot as well.

How is that not true? regular temperatures in celsius go from like, -10 to 35. regular temperatures in farenheit go from like, -10 to 90.

From what I understand the speed of light in a vacuum is an exception, as it is basically the definition of infinite velocity with respect to the universe, since it's the cosmic speed limit.
In order for relativity to work, the observer would need to be able to detect the location of the particle (the photon in question), which is not possible, since the photon is moving at the cosmic speed limit.
That's what I understand from it, I could be wrong.
>>52466808
You're literally doing what this guy just did with inches >>52466790 except for the metric system
I lived in your country and rarely ever saw celsius being broken into decimals. Aside from the fact, that will never change that where I lived in Italy that I was living in a temperature range 20 while using celsius.

The speed of light (which is kind of a bad term) is constant as postulated by special relativity.
>Another assumption on the laws of physics made by the SI definition of the metre is that the theory of relativity is correct. It is a basic postulate of the theory of relativity that the speed of light is the same in all inertial frames. This can be broken down into two parts:
>The speed of light is independent of the motion of the observer.
>The speed of light does not vary with time or place.
We know this is true because despite the Earth's changing velocity and direction, nearly all measures of the speed of light have been the same.

Your supposed to listen to the engine , also rpms are a better tell of when to shift then mph/kph. Typically you shift at about 3000 rpms 2000 if you want to be conscientious of gas usage, and you want to operate between 1500-3000 rpm

and yet if you are moving away from an object, your speed relative to that changes
>>52467055
I couldn't speak for that picture, but there was a YouTube clip of some police body-camera footage of that exact thing about a year ago. He came to the door and was holding a screwdriver, then he opened the screen door following his mum and stepped down a couple steps, the cops shot him.
>>52467130
But then what about all the assumed variables for the 'feels like' estimate? It's impractical. Also, you can get a picture of what it feels like by just stepping outside.
>>52467220
see >>52467062
Relativity works under the assumption the speed of light is constant.
>>52467270
Light isn't an object, it's a packet of energy moving at what basically amounts to an infinite velocity.

>>52466635
The speed of photon won't change if you move away from it. That's the trick.

hello american proxy
>>52466635
nah, 'c' is constant. that's why it's mind blowing 2bh
>>52467286
Then if that's your argument, why not just get rid of trying to quantify temperature and have the weather report just be "its cold and windy" "its hot and sticky"? kek
>>52466915
>I lived in your country and rarely ever saw celsius being broken into decimals
That's because when people want to know their place's temperature they don't need to know a ton of decimals, just having units or a single decimal is enough.
Metric matters more if you need to have an accurate measure for scientific purposes.
>>52466972
>Cause there is absolutely no way they're in some way objectively better for daily use than those two things
An average, random person that just needs to check temperature or glance at his car's speed counter is perfectly ok with using either system, it's when you need to gather those data for some kind of calculations, like forecast predictions or physics, that metric is superior.
Imperial is never better than metric, in any situation, it's on par when it comes to "daily use" like you said but for more complex or professional uses metric is flat superior for practicity and intuition.
There's a reason a lot of American scientists use metric, most prominent example being NASA, you know.
>>52467333
Nothing is object then. Light or e/m wave is bunch if particles-waves and inly ones that have zero mass can move with speed of the light. And their speed will be constand relatively to anything, no matter what speed you have relatively to these photones their speed equals to 1c.
>>52467388
you don't have to be american to recognise its superiority :^)
>>52461752
Once the older people die off we'll be 100% metric desu
>>52467449
>Light or e/m wave is bunch if particles-waves and inly ones that have zero mass can move with speed of the light
Yes.
>And their speed will be constand relatively to anything, no matter what speed you have relatively to these photones their speed equals to 1c.
That's exactly what I'm saying.
The value of c doesn't depend on the observer's velocity.
>>52467333
light is an object, it has a mass. A very small mass, but mass.
then again I'm arguing physics with a worthless gook
>>52467520
>it has a mass
no
>>52467388
meanwhile in the UK it's literally illegal to say nigger on twitter
>>52467416
...Uh huh. The temperature IS the quantification of temperature. The "it feels like" bullshit is bullshit. Just give me the temperature, relative humidity, and wind speed.
That also wasn't my argument, my argument was nobody can realistically tell the difference between 20C/68F and 20.5C/69F, because of those other factors.
>>52467520
The photon is a massless particle.
Light appears to have mass because of radiation pressure.

Umm, yea. I was just arguing for daily use. You realize in our science classes we use metric starting from a very young age, right? If you're talking to an American who is just a little bit educated they're going to have working knowledge of the metric system, even if they're unable to visualize distances/lengths etc from the numbers.
As for everything else in regard to daily use, I'm satisfied with arguing you down from calling us retarded to admitting that these things are on par for daily use.
>>52467612
Dude, you're allowed to be wrong, relax.

>>52467612
E^2=pc^2+mc^2.
Just because it has momentum and exerts radiation pressure doesn't mean it has mass.
>>52467617

Anon you completely misunderstood the point of special relativity and then you try to mention it to look smart.
The speed of light in vacuum is constant it doesn't matter which fucking way you are going.

>>52467731
I still stand by that statement, but you have no experience with using F to see my point from something based in experience, whereas I have had good experience with using C (to the point where I was thinking about the temperature in C)
>>52467829
He's just a stupid individual. It triggers me when you apply a stupid individual to the entire country. Been passively following the conversation myself.
The speed of light is a quantity that is the same regardless of where in the universe you measure it (no evidence for other theories yet exists).
You don't have to be regardless of know your speed to measure this and is defined to be exactly 299792458 metres per second. (Hence the metre depends on the second)

I'm not wrong though, and I'm not going to let a fucking muslim shit talk down to me.
