Disgusting. Replacing an arbitrary system with another arbitrary system is not progress.
>>69865431
1 litre is exactly 1000 cubic centimeters, it's also the volume of one kilogram of pure water at maximum density and standard pressure. Due to being decimal infinite like other metric systems, the litre is very efficient for any kind of scientific work as well as medicine.
>>69865735
At least they still have MPH, and still measure human height in feet. A few years ago the EU started to make them put their road signs and overpass signs in both imperial and metric, because of foreign truck drivers. Pretty cucked. But they started using metric in the 60s, so it's been that way for a long time.
>>69865955
And that's where they went wrong. They had the clout even when they joined the EU to tell them to stuff it, but they didn't. They can take their moral victories with their mph and gallons, but it's pure humiliation.
I'm just glad that we haven't been cucked yet. It's funny, I work for a US based aerospace company. It's hilarious when the fresh faced college kids come in expecting to use metric. Nope, we still use imperial, faggot.

>>69867014
Doesn't matter. We have been using it since this country came into existence, and have never had problems with it.
>>69866732
The problem is that people don't realize that metric measurements are just as arbitrary as imperial. There's no reason to change, it would be "progress for the sake of progress."
As an aside, remember Chafee's democratic announcement? He was the clown that pledged to put America on metric, "to join the rest of the world." Fuck that.
And yeah, we use imperial because our contractors use imperial. Maybe the other way around. Chicken and egg problem. Either way, both systems are arbitrary as fuck. And at the end of the day, conversion is simpler than ever. Hell, I think our engineers might just plug it into google to do it for them.

When it was first measured, it was supposed to be defined as a ten millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole or some such shit. Right now it's defined as the distance travelled by light in a specific fraction of a second.
A Litre is simply one dm3
I understand that feet and whatnot might be easier to define, but the metric system is still far simpler since everyone immediately understands what you're talking about and can make accurate comparisons far quicker than if they have to convert anything in the Imperial system. Even your own damn scientists use the metric system because they've realised that the Imperial one is too much of a hassle.
It's not even about simplicity, it's a question of comfort. I understand that you may be more accustomed to the system you grew up with, but that's only something shared by the Americans and Brits. No one else.

The base measurement of 1 liter/1 meter maybe, but it breaks down to 1/10, 1/100 and 1/1000 which is a hell of a lot more logical than what you've got. Converting 15498 cm to meters is easy, just move the comma. Converting 15498 inches to feet is difficult.
It's just silly.
You can keep your pounds, mph and fahrenheit if you want though, since ours is just as random (okay, maybe celsius is better but i'll let it slide)

Measures in cubic metres
Imperial units are scaled to the proportions of a human body. In inch is a finger segment. A foot is a human foot. A yard is a leg. A mile is the distance of a short walk. These units are natural and intuitive, a convenient way to visualize, and measure distances, weights, volumes....etc.
In any task, it's always best to use the unit of measurement that's most convenient to the situation. For example, old sailors used to use fathoms for vertical distances, and miles for horizontal distances. Because their world was a pancake, this made sense.
Metric units are very useful for a scientist, but might not be so useful for the common person. Conversion factors are easy. The notion that we should mandate the entire society use the same arbitrary system of measurement used by a couple scientists off in a laboratory somewhere is insane.
This is a communist idea, where society is scientifically planned and managed, and everyone is an indistinguishable entity.

I'm not sure why Europoors are so obsessed with base 10.
You know, originally the plan was to convert all clocks to base 10 as well as measurement units. You'd also have 10 days in a week, and 10 months in a year.
The thing is, no one went for it. It was a total failure.
The fact is that the most convenient systems of measure are not always nice easy factors of 10. If you're too stupid to handle conversion factors, fine. But your limitations shouldn't be determining the standards of measure for the entire society.

My town is in the process of metrication. For the past two decades we had our road signs in imperial and metric. The metric signs have been coming down. It's obsolete. No one needs it.

Are human comfort levels based off the states of water?
>>69871206
Every leader back then was a war criminal, lad.

Of course I'm proud, nigger.
>>69871256
>durr muh human comfort
Yeah that's the only useful application of a unit of measurement
>>69871206
Eh, I would be
>>69871362
Precisely. Which is why we use Celsius scientifically. See my point now?
>>69871173
no
you don't have centidegrees or millidegrees either so your precious "base 10" is completely irrelevant when it comes to temperature
>>69871256
Yes?
Are you stupid? We're mostly water.
>>69871410
Again, human relatable temperature. Why would I need a thousandth of a degree when I'm talking about human comfort?
>>69871406
Or we could use Celsius for both because it isn't a big deal.
>>69871173
It is, but they're not part of the same system tho.
The unit for measuring temperature is K (Kelvin)
Kelvin is based on energy, Celsius is based on water's freezing and boiling points.
>>69871410
Celsius temperature scale also called centigrade temperature scale, is the scale based on 0 for the freezing point of water and 100 for the boiling point of water.
>>69871466
We don't respond to temperature the same as plain ass water, no.
>>69871487
>stone
>>69871170
Realistic human comfort levels are not the entire region between and including freezing and boiling.
>>69871256
No, but human comfort levels are arbitrary and subjective, and as soon as you introduce any given temperature measuring system people are going to begin associating various levels with level of comfort anyways, so it ultimately is a moot point as there's no difficulty whatsoever to someone used to the Celsius measuring system to tell whether a temperature is comfortable, cold, or hot.
>>69871406
And introducing a second system just because it feels "more natural" when the whole rest of the world has no trouble whatsoever? No, what you have is baby duck syndrome.
>>69871410

Retard.
>>69871473
Are the only two numbers you know 0 and 100?
Celsius is perfectly fine for measuring comfort, you simply don't need to go up to 100. 100 degrees Celsius is relevant for your comfort when you're talking about saunas though, you generally don't want to go over 110 degrees C.
>>69871510
and yet we're able to use it when measuring air temperature, how fascinating
>>69871142
>>69871170
You can easily tell 60f from 70f, yet have no fucking clue whether something is 220f or 240f. Humans evolved to tell interpret a specific temperature range. Water's boiling point is well into the "can't even feel because your nerves are dying" range.
>haha you're retarded for thinking that we're retarded ALL the time
>>69871500
Ah, alright. Legitimately thought it was all under metric.
>>69871547
Fuck you're stupid. It creates a rational framework that is most relevant for things people are actually worried about. The freezing temperature of water literally changes the entire biome. It's called winter shit for brains.
>>69871564
What? An unit tied to metric has its roots in the Celsius scale and that somehow makes Celsius metric?
Baboon.
>>69871582
>yet have no fucking clue whether something is 220f or 240f
I beg to differ. 220f is pretty normal sauna temperature. 240f is getting on the hot side, you generally don't want to be in there for more than 5minutes per sitting.
>>69871582
Yeah, because it doesn't get that warm does it, you mong.
0-40 is a perfect scale for temperature that humans can survive in without shelter.
>>69871827
>0-40
Yeah, 40 is a nice intuitive number for people who use base-10 and percentages their whole life.
Jesus didn't use the metric system.
>>69871827
>>69871582
I forgot to add that it is a great system for many things.
0-40 for weather
0-100 for water
Our ovens also don't go up to retarded 400 degrees.
>>69871930
You should try it, turning my oven to 500 feels pretty cool man
>>69871894
If you were to tell me it was 10 degrees Celsius outside I would know exactly what to wear.
Same if you said 32, or 25 or 3
It is very easy to understand, any retard could grasp it.
>>69872020

But you don't actually use metric time in your lives. You don't say shit like "I'll be there in 5 kiloseconds"
Metric time is only for scientific purposes, same as all metric measurements in America.
>>69872316
A unit that for some reason people in America (maybe others idk) mix up with a centisecond.
>>69872453

A metric gang fuck of the world countries were units have to be converted back to Imperial for the poor USA members.

Not your daily life.
>>69872663
Sorry, I shouldn't have said only scientific purposes. Obviously there are a variety of fields where metric measurements are very helpful. I'm not a programmer but I assume American programmers would use metric time in their jobs as well.
My point is that you still use not metric measurements like hours and minutes despite giving America shit for doing the same.
>>69871910
>Jews didn't use the metric system.
Enlightening.
>>69872833
In the hypothetical where the Olympics is converted to Imperial, they would. I thought that was what we were talking about.
>>69872882
Hint: The things the media talks about is a subset of Trump's proposed immigration changes.
>>69872890
M8 time is the only thing the world has in common.
A second is a second here, there and everywhere.
Time is not decimal, it's sexagesimal and the whole world uses it as is.
Weight, height and length are different stories tho.
>>69872890
I use milliseconds, yes. I don't think there is an Imperial alternative though.

The world talks in Metric, the USA does not. Simple as that.
Is it better? No. Probably not for USA in the long run.
>>69873042
It's worse. Base 60 for minutes and hours, base 24 for days, base 365 for years, base 10 for small things.
>>69873104
And yet it's used worldwide, isn't it?
>>69869218
JUST
Every year staying in the non-metric system directly costs 7+ billion dollars. This mostly due to education costs and doing shit twice over in many places. Indirect costs are estimated to be well over hundred billion. The overall inefficiencies and problems with losing industrial export deals etc. are difficult to quantify. But hey as long as you get to stay speshjul snowflaeks its all worth it!
