>Anti imperial cucks can't comprehent how foot means the lenght of a foot, or the measures are based on human body measures.

this isn't a problem anymore because you just ask whatsapp AI for the difference

Are all Englishmen genetic mutants with the same foot size across the country?
>>211632748
Insane mental gymnastics.

metric isn't bad but it's not any better or worse than imperial and it's just as arbitrary. the only argument for it is more countries use it as a standard but your countries all suck and nobody cares about them so fuck you and your french armpit voodoo.

Do you retard even understand that imperial is based on acient ways to measure things that didn't had modern tools, but are based on common measures like feet, arm, palm, finger, spoons?

Imperial is not better than metric.

In the end you simply memorize the most common measures and compare both.

Like how I know 5"7 and 6"0 because of fit memes and can easily understand the meme of 5"11.

Is not hard to mentally compared the two.

Consult picrel.
>it's just as arbitrary
Since 2019 all metric is defined via constants of nature. The only less practical unit system is the Planck units. Meanwhile, imperial is defined via metric. You are implicitly cucked by metric whenever you use imperial units.

Imperial - Used by the US and UK
Metric - Used by Subsaharan Africa

>DUDE LE ANCIENT WAYS LMAO
1. It is based on the SI system since the 60s and nothing else.
2. Somehow every country had its own "ancient ways". The Russians thought a sazhen' was a "common measure" while the English thought a foot was a "common measure". The reason why SI exists in the first place is because every country on earth has its own notions of what's a "common measure".

Imperial - Used by losers who are bowing to Barbosa and Ngubu
Metric - Used by Barbosa and Ngubu

by example.

I only need to know that 50 farenheit is 10 degrees, and 37 degrees is 98 farenheit and 70 farenheit is 20 degrees and 50 farenheit is 20 degrees.

>>211633217
It's not hard to convert between imperial and metric, if you memorize some measures.

>>211633159
*less arbitrary
but it’s also less practical obviously

>>211633253
Why would you bother converting in the first place? Do you realize that you anglos are the only one who do this stupid shit and the rest of the world has moved on?

>>211633286
Because I'm not the president of the anglo world.

It's simply more practical to memorize a few converting rules than trying to get millions of people to give up their traditions.

I also like to learn about ancient shit, and imperial is useful to understand how ancient people did their measures.

>>211633286
What have you done lately lol

>>211633329
Ancient people didn’t use English units. They used their own. We still don’t know what the Greek stadia and leagues are precisely.

>>211632995
Tell me more about how to do my job, retard.

Reminder that even Germany uses inches to measure wheels and that it tried to use metric and failed

>>211633391
It's much simpler to just memorize a few converting guide units anon.

>>211633508
>has to waste time fiddling with his phone to do basic calculations
>calls me a retard

>>211633536
I repeat. We do not know what a Greek stadion is. You cannot "memorize" conversions because no such conversion is known. Meanwhile, you can explain the metric system to an alien race by just telling them the scaling factors of the fundamental constants of nature.

>>211633599
again, you're overthinking shit.

Millions of people wont give up imperial because you autistically argue here.

>>211633810
Somehow billions of people gave up their own units, but anglos are special.
