who the fuck are these absolute twats that are simping over a system of measurement? good for you, your governance made a good choice, but it was hardly like OP invented it or was responsible for the adoption, so whoop de fuckin' doo. or Le Whoop if you must convert.

we don't like imperial, it's not like you'll find people (outside hicksville or maga) claiming to defend it's superiority.

and get off your silly pretensions, for all your metric elegance the UK is still measuring shit in stones and miles.

They use a blend of metric and imperial as do we.

Every time metric vs imperial comes up on the internet there will be a gazillion Americans defending their system, claiming it is more "human" or some similar sort of nonsense. So yes, are a lot of Americans who will defend its alleged superiority.

Nah, about what? I didn't make the decisions. you didn't either, so if you're proud, that's fucking dumb too.

Instead of fighting over the best arbitrary unit system we should all sit together and create a truly logical system that makes conversions - even between units - as simple as possible.
