im gonna order an imperial hammer from murica

rather than a metric one

Not to any serious extent... but I'm sure the French didn't invent it

And I'm sure God doesn't make wood in Metric

no the trees do

because metric is a measurement

Wait, what... trees are in Metric now? I don't think so

so is food

tis all in grams and kilo-calories

I buy my food in lbs

whats that? like 500g?

Why do you think loads of things on the shelves are 454g? Because that's a lb

ive never noticed or thought about it

cos i dont eat food in 500g incrememnts

I do if it's haggis 😉

never had it

isnt it liver

Pluck; Heart + lungs, boiled in a sheep's stomach... finest food available to humanity

no gtfo with imperial, it needs phasing out

mostly boomers clinging to it

I'm 37 and I'll use it until I die

The phasing out of old/local measurements is on the globalist agenda

in metric, one millilitre of water occupies one cubic centimetre, weighs one gram and requires one calorie of energy to heat up by 1 degree centigrade, which is 1% of the difference between its freezing and boiling point

This is all very interesting for scientists -- but to the man on the street, the old ways made more sense

no

they make no sense

nothign can be direfctly related

and theres no fine increments

But there is history to the reason they were used

how many feet in a mile?

And in this history there is meaning

how many meters in a kilometer?

what about grams in a kilogram?

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

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

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

everything *has* to eb arbitrary

cos hsitory

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?"

Well let's just wipe the slate clean right now

There is no history
