Why do europoors circlejerk so much over the metric system? Every comment section of a video or forum post you go to that has the slightest mention of imperial measurements is flooded with "HUR DUR SWITCH TO METRIC" "SUPERIOR COUNTING SYSTEM" "ONLY DUMB AMERICANS USE IMPERIAL HUR DUR"

Is it just assravaged europistanis trying to find a reason to hate the US since it is superior to them in every way? Pounds, feet, and Fahrenheit are already superior to kilos, meters, and Celsius, so that should be the system which the world uses, not the arbitrary metric system.

It's the same people who watch reddit and morty and claim to love science.
If you actually press them on it, they can't explain why metric is superior, and they almost never understand how imperial units work. They also can't respond to simple reasoning without resorting to insults

He isn't saying that metric isn't superior, but rather that the people that go out of their way to claim it is are cancerous and don't even have an argument as to why is it superior other than "everyone uses it" and "I use it"

Yes, exactly, eurocucks often have no justification for it other than "muh science" when they're not even a researcher. Just following the herd Reddit mentality

America already uses the metric system.

The pound is defined as 0.45359237 kilograms.
The foot is defined as exactly 0.3048 meters.

You guys are just doing an extra conversion step for whatever reason.

>>77891659
it sucks because its not on a decimal basis at all
how many feet is a mile? how many inches is a mile? thats such an overcomplicated system for no reason
10mm is 1cm, 100cm is a meter, 1000 meters is 1km, you just make it hard for yourself with imperial

12 inches = 1 foot
3 foot = 1 yard
22 yards = 1 chain
10 chains = 1 furlong
8 furlongs = 1 mile
3 miles = 1 league

You don't convert between units in imperial.
There's also nothing special about decimal systems other than being able to lop zeroes off, you actually lose factors compared to, say, duodecimal

Yes, but it would take much longer than simply adding a zero at the end of an operation.
>>
>>77893041
>>77893105
It's not that hard.
10^-3 is mili
10^-6 is micro
10^-9 is nano
10^-12 is pico
10^-15 is femto
So one second has 1*10^15 femtoseconds and a minute has 60*10^15 femtoseconds.

That's not hard at all if you went to school. Mili, micro, nano, pico, femto and ato. Mili is 10^3 and it goes up by 3 each time so micro is 10^6, nano is 10^9 and so on. If you're in your twenties you're going to know this unless you never went to high school. Literally kill yourself.
>>
>>77896171
When would you ever use this knowledge unless you're going into research or a field which directly deals with very short periods of time? Typical eurofag claiming superiority over knowing autistic tidbits literally anyone can effortlessly Google
>>
>>77896469
You asked that spanish poster about femtoseconds like it's some big deal to know measurements other than mili, centi and meter.

I'm literally telling you it's common knowledge among young people because everyone learns about it elementary school, high school and college. You and 99.9% of the US population couldn't tell me what a fucking furlong is without googling it and I doubt you actually learn about it in school.

Laugh at le reddit le luv science and all your shit anglo memes you came up to rationalize this absoulely fucktarded system but there's absolutely no conceivable way that imperial system for mundane shit like bolt sizes could be considered anything but inferior.

Some old measurements are still common here.

Pund (pound)
Fjórðingur; meaning 1/4 (mile)
Tummi; meaning thumb (inch)
Fötur (feet)

Also some weirds ones that don't translate.
"Merkur" and "Gyllin" (land measurements).
"Skinn" (skin), has different values depending what it is used on. It is used for land measurements and meat for different animals. E.G. 1 skinn on a whale is 50kg meat and 25kg blubber. On sheep I think 1 skinn is 4kg meat.
