The truth isn't a meme.

I'd say having 1 measurement system for all uses is the most practical. The imperial units are just a result of the special snowflake tendencies in all Americans.
>>58003105
No, they came from the practical use of everyday life. They aren't arbitrary units based around multiples of ten.
Learn context.
>>58003183
Not the origin, but the fact that they are still being used.
I could say the same, quite obvious in the context.

They are still being used because they are still useful.

So I took my daughters out to play some video games at the old school school arcade. No big deal right? Just being a good father right?
>murmurs of agreement from the crowd
And here's the thing, my kids LOVE video games; I mean LOVE video games; obsessed with video games; can't get enough of video games; all they fucking. eat. and. breathe. is. video games.
>some laughter
My kids love video games more than niggas love voting democrat
>more laughter, a few women wiping their tears with their aunt jemima cooking aprons
I put them in for one of those two player games so that they could play together. But here's what I forgot! Arcade games have different controllers!
>laughter stops
They weren't anything like their console controllers at home so they didn't really know how to use the them! You see?
>Audience is silent
So I tried to show them by taking one joystick in each hand. This stuff was natural to me, I realized, because we weren't actually at the arcade. WE WERE AT THE NEW, LIVE IN HARLEM, INTERRACIAL BREEDING GROUNDS
>The crowd goes wild with cheering and hollering
AND THOSE WEREN'T JOYSTICKS IN MY HANDS
>The noise from the crowd is almost deafening
THEY WERE BIG!
>The black women in the crowd can be seen being pulled away from their husbands, disappearing into the horde of white men in suits on the balconies.
WHITE!
>Dry martini glasses and olives rain from the orgies above, the husbands are being torn limb from limb to the sounds of screeching. Those few black men seated in the upper levels of the auditorium are being hurled to their deaths
DICKS!
>"No Surprises" begins playing from every speaker in the building. Those black men unfortunate enough to not be killed in the initial pandemonium are rounded up and doused in kerosene to light the way for Chris's daughters, tied to a spit, being brought in from backstage.

>USA boycotts Brazilian space program
>"lmao Brazil has no space program xD"
The fact is that, nowadays, if you want to start a space program from zero you need USA's "approval" - as in, you need access to some technology and logistics. Or Russia's, but those guys are crazy. Unfortunately our countries haven't had the best relationship after John Snowden's leak, so our space program has been frozen ever since. But I get your point though. You guys rock.

You fell into their trap anon
Don't reply to retards
We did it again boys, we riddled our thoughts deep into foreigners' subconscious and forced them to make yet another thread about us. That hegemon feeling, one they can only read about in their books but we live every single day. It's good to be the king.
