how many meters in a kilometer?

2020-02-22 13:08:07 UTC  

what about grams in a kilogram?

2020-02-22 13:08:08 UTC  

Nobody really cares how many feet are in a mile... or they'd be measuring the distance in feet

2020-02-22 13:08:41 UTC  

"nobody really cares" says the old man talking about the history of feet lol

2020-02-22 13:09:12 UTC  

theres *no reason* we'd ever use a good standard

2020-02-22 13:09:19 UTC  

everything *has* to eb arbitrary

2020-02-22 13:09:24 UTC  

cos hsitory

2020-02-22 13:09:46 UTC  

If you're down the pub and somebody says, "I walked 20 miles today", nobody says, "oh arr, Fred, how many centimeters is that then?"

2020-02-22 13:09:51 UTC  

Well let's just wipe the slate clean right now

2020-02-22 13:09:57 UTC  

There is no history

2020-02-22 13:10:01 UTC  

There is no meaning

2020-02-22 13:10:37 UTC  

its so much easier to build a bridge or a railway in metric

2020-02-22 13:10:41 UTC  

because it has degrees

2020-02-22 13:10:44 UTC  

and incrememnts

2020-02-22 13:11:01 UTC  

That's nice for those who builds bridges

2020-02-22 13:11:58 UTC  

lol well if it doesnt matter to you why do you care which we use

2020-02-22 13:12:07 UTC  

if it doesnt matter if its in miles it doesnt matter if its in km

2020-02-22 13:12:44 UTC  

I'm a programmer... so maybe I should tell you to tell me how many pixels high you are

2020-02-22 13:13:19 UTC  

thats retarded and false equivalence and you know

2020-02-22 13:13:46 UTC  

pixels aren't a standardised measurement

2020-02-22 13:13:53 UTC  

Like I say... fair enough for the scentists, but the man on the street has no use for Metric

2020-02-22 13:13:54 UTC  

and pixels can be different sizes

2020-02-22 13:14:20 UTC  

so stop holding back people that matter because of your dumb boomer ways

2020-02-22 13:15:31 UTC  

The only insult this child has is boomer

2020-02-22 13:15:41 UTC  

Must have watched too many memes

2020-02-22 13:15:46 UTC  

?watch memes

2020-02-22 13:15:58 UTC  

His brain is like a peanut

2020-02-22 13:15:58 UTC  

I tell you what I find most offensive... going to the cheese shop and asking for a lb of cheese and the young folk asking me how much that is. I think, am I in England or not. I need to put a complaint letter through their door

2020-02-22 13:16:32 UTC  

you find that offensive lol

2020-02-22 13:16:35 UTC  

you snowflake

2020-02-22 13:16:41 UTC  

No

2020-02-22 13:16:51 UTC  

It's just funny you are calling everyone a boomer

2020-02-22 13:16:52 UTC  

It doesn't bother me being thought as a boomer, tbf. I've been around a while and know stuff ;|

2020-02-22 13:16:57 UTC  

imperial measurements, the bastion of nationalism

2020-02-22 13:17:00 UTC
