Do imperialaboos exist? Are there people in not-America that swear by inches and feet? Just curious.
>>
Christ no.
And honestly I wish old British people were less autistic so I didn't have to know this deprecated system and constantly convert miles into kms and shiiet

Actually yes, I am. Specifically when doing woodcrafts with a set of classic handtools. Things done in Imperial look somehow nicer and more natural to me than metric stuff. Pic related.

More like swear at

Although I like the mph speedometer on my car, it makes me feel special :3
>>
>>73506287

I hate metric on motors, but other than that it's a pretty nice system.

I do like our temperature system more though, 0 being very cold and 100 very hot makes more sense to me than -15 being very cold and 35 being very hot.
>>
>>73506287
I do work on my house and I'm forced to deal with this stupid shit because everything related to building in Canada uses imperial measurements.
>>
>>73508628
-30 is very cold and +30 is very hot. makes perfect sense tbf.

Plus waters boiling and freezing temperatures are pretty importabt for water based lifeforms. I guess Clapistanians are made from Pepsi instead.

That's because you're a spic.

Two dozen Celcius is hot. Minus a dozen Celsius is chilly.

if only it was so. they are made of teh inferior coca cola

i use MPH and that's about it.

He thinks 0 is very cold. Either a nigger or a spic. In Calgary, people start wearing shorts when the snow starts melting.

Hey, we use Metric.
>>

>-15 being very cold

Actually, -15 is okay. Very cold temperature is something like -45.
>>

*0 Fahrenheit (-18 Celcius)
>>
>>73509193
But that is only regular cold.
>>
>>73509252
Exactly.

Anything below +15 C is too cold
Anything below +10 C is fucking murder

All of those except the eggs are completely arbitrary. Even a foot varies so much per person that one still needs a reference.

The only reason you Burgers still use imperial is because you turn everything into a god damn political battle where change is either "infringing on your rights" and "attacking your culture" or so important that the world will literally end without it.
>>
Seems like most people prefer feet and inches when talking about height- at least here.
>>
>>73508826
>>73509016
>>73509113

My mistake, I thought -15-35 was like -20-110 but it's actually 5-95 which isn't so bad at either extreme.

Still prefer a zero to 100 scale though.
>>
>>73506287
I'll concede but Celcius is still retarded for every day use.
>>73509922
It's how eggs are graded, on cartons it'll just be "large" and such. Imperial has nothing to do with "muh rights" or "muh culture", it's that converting a country of 300 million people to a completely different system when ours works (even if it is dumb) is a MASSIVE endeavor that isn't worth the effort or money
>>
>>73506287
I didn't even know that egg sizes were standardized
>>
I still use imperial in everyday life tbqh, and you'll find most old people here, like 65+ use it still
>>
>>73506287
I only like to use miles, the rest is pretty retarded, specially oz.
>>
We were actually converting to metric until Ronald Reagan (our president in the 80s) just stopped it like a fucking autist.
>>
There's still some stuff here that is derived from imperial measurements, although America has some differences with actual imperial measurements, like the gallon. A 44 gallon drum here is a 55 American gallon drum.

Acres are still very common, because land and block sizes don't often change.

Height is still quite commonly given in feet and inches.
>>
>>73508628
that depends on the wind Americoon.
>>
Fuck metric, I'll never be low enough to learn bullshit Euro measurements like that.
>>
>>73506287
Just be glad you don't need multiple systems for different stuff.

Not an argument, you're retarded. Celsius makes more sense because the freezing point of water is 0° and boiling point is 100°, as opposed to 32° and 212° respectively in Fahrenheit.
