Why it is 2022 and this retardation still hasn't been abolished?

>implying the experts would make us keep using a measurement system that is inefficient

What authority do you have to comment on any of these issues? Do you unironically think you understand any of this stuff better than the experts at the National Institute of Standards and Technology? If our measurement system is so terrible and inefficient, that is for the experts to determine, not some schizo right wing conspiracy theorist on 4chan. Go back to pol, and take your meds.

Bu-but, Farenheit is a good unit for everyday temperature...

Fahrenheit would have been perfect if they'd left it as 32 - freezing point and 96 - human body temp

I'm sorry that Angela Merkel didn't tell you numbers could be divided by 3 when you were in dog training school. Don't hate the player.

I've noticed this too, I'm a European do I use metric but I've been covering stuff to imperial for fun and imperial does work better for everyday application.

>do
By Allah I hate qwerty so fucking much. I was supposed to write "so" but this stupidly designed keyboard keeps thinking I'm writing "do" instead and then the opposite happens when I so want to write "do".

Imagine being too europoor to understand HIGHLY COMPOSITE NUMBERS 12 and 36.
Yes, the europoor system is literally based on counting on your fingers. Due to a BIOLOGICAL ACCIDENT you happen to have ten.
America is based on ANALYTIC NUMBER THEORY, which the average American child is fluent in.
The ""Imperial"" system should actually be called the "analytic system"

I hereby propose that the ""Metric system "" shall be henceforth known as the "fingering system of measures"
For the Europeans in the audience, You are welcome for the end of ww2 and the marshall plan, but please try to apply yourselves.

>day, month, year
nice for everyday use, but I think year, month, day would be even better for sorting things.
>>14156023
At the end of they day whatever you grew up with is going to seem more natural to you. It's nice to have the freezing point at 0°C to know if it's gonna rain or snow outside, but looking at Fahrenheit I bet it's also nice to have a higher "resolution" with most naturally occurring temperatures falling in the 0-100 range

Also I think at this point it's what >>14155872 said. It's too much hassle to switch to a better system to be worth it.
I wish time would be easier divisible by 10, but it's not enough of a problem to justify the trouble of relearning all your intuition regarding time.
