Most of those are made with ease of use in mind for the time period they were enstated. The inch -> foot -> yard system is because math is easier to do in your head with a base 12, farenheit is based on the temperature common folk are actually going to need to worry about, and month/day/year because it was much more common to say "January 1st, 2000" than "1st of January 2000".
Why would our notation of date be expected to conform to geometry anyway? That's as illogical as saying the one on the right is dumb because days go up to 31 and months only to 12, so month is the smallest number.

2018-09-28 02:57:26 UTC  

it was based on the standards of the time so they just never bothered changing it to metric

2018-09-28 02:58:06 UTC  

its easier to stick to something established that works than to adopt a new method and relearn everything

2018-09-28 02:59:07 UTC  

also many aspects of our society rely on English Standard and to change that might fuck some stuff up

2018-09-28 02:59:48 UTC  

I personally think Metric is better but understand why we largely still use English Standard here

2018-09-28 02:59:50 UTC  

What do we have to gain for switching aside from casual conversation with people in other countries?

2018-09-28 03:00:10 UTC  

not much practically speaking

2018-09-28 03:00:25 UTC  

science and math already primarily uses metric anyway

2018-09-28 03:01:03 UTC  

English Standard has essentially become the layman's version

2018-09-28 03:01:37 UTC  

like all of our speed limits signs are solely in English Standard

2018-09-28 03:01:56 UTC  

most speedometers in cars now a days have both though

2018-09-28 03:02:26 UTC  

so adapting to another countries standards wouldnt be difficult in terms of speed limits

2018-09-28 03:20:14 UTC  

Come for the memes, stay for the history of systems of measure

2018-09-28 03:34:43 UTC  

@Timcast yeah she has nothing to gain from coming forward i wish i has this much nothing

@Faticati do we have any way of knowing who is actually getting that money?

2018-09-28 03:49:46 UTC  

The one with more money was started by some senators so I doubt they would want that much blowback over some chump change

2018-09-28 03:54:03 UTC  

Makes sense

2018-09-28 04:27:53 UTC  

I'm pretty sure that lightning bolt has the right to punch you any time it pleases now.

2018-09-28 05:38:42 UTC  

You've got that backwards. It's our right to punch nazis.

2018-09-28 05:47:41 UTC  

You don't have a right to punch someone until they violate the NAP. Punch commies.

2018-09-28 06:06:44 UTC  

Im an equal opportunist. I punch both. /s
