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

There is no meaning

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

because it has degrees

and incrememnts

That's nice for those who builds bridges

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

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

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

thats retarded and false equivalence and you know

pixels aren't a standardised measurement

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

and pixels can be different sizes

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

The only insult this child has is boomer

Must have watched too many memes

?watch memes

His brain is like a peanut

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

you find that offensive lol
