What in the actual FUCK. it's not the 17th century, it's not the 18th or 19th either, it's not even the 20th century anymore, it's the fucking TWENTY FIRST CENTURY, get rid of this antiquated system, literally nobody else is using it anymore.

top kek. All good measurements.

I'll be completely honest.

I have NO fucking idea what any of the imperial (ASE, standard, American, whatever it's called) measure up to. You look at a bolt and see 13/16th or whatever, for me I see in millimeter. If you held a gun to my head and said WHICH SIZE IMPERIAL FITS THIS? I wouldn't be able to answer. I'm American.

funny how the most powerful country in the world doesn't need fag measurements

only brainlets can't figure out what wrench you need if a 1/2in is too small and a 3/4in is too large

I actually think thats the best sytem. Except for occasionally using inches for woodworkig.

But they do.
Maybe not the average cleetus but in the industry they use metric if they produce on a global scale

Why are Europeans so inferior to Americans?

As a Physics major, the metric system is clearly superior. Clearly.

>>17452650
As a builder, the imperial system is clearly superior, clearly.

>>17452261
also known as 5/8ths

Imperial works really well if you got rounded off metric fasteners, by the way.

>>17452650
>>17452658
As a plasterer, a combination of the two is clearly superior. Clearly.

i was a dick once and re-threaded some bolt holes on a BMW in whitworth before it went to the dealership.

>having to list your height in hundreds of cm because you dont have a unit of measurement between the size of an ant and the size of a vacuum cleaner
inches feet and yards are superior and if you even try to claim that you have something called a decimeter then i would ask you this: why dont you ever use it if its so amazing?

pic related: its a 1/4 mile aka the most popular distance used over which to measure a car's power.

>>17452726
Oh yea well im an electrician and I hate locksmiths!!!!!

>>17452735
This. When I hear someone describe their height in centimeters I'm not sue if I should be impressed or laugh.

>in the industry they use metric if they produce on a global scale
Except that's false. When you send something to China to be manufactured they happily take and use inch standard.
All of the best things in life were developed on the inch standard.
The Ak47 for one.

>>17452859
Why is it yanks always use metric when it comes to bore, while us anglos use imperial?

>>17452888
NATO, mostly

Fun fact, American manufacturers are so stupid they will use metric for bore and imperial for chamber length

>>17452888
The "cuck america" movement of the 80's, which was thankfully stopped by Reagan.

>>17452115
Stay mad babby

US Customary is obviously superior since metricfags keep getting butthurt over it.
