everything actually important is already metric

Ayo the car thing is absolute bullshit.

10mm bolt for the fuckin brake caliper but 3/8 for the fuckin slide bolts?

Get the fuck outta here

Don't forget the most important US measurements of them all: 5.56, 7.62, 9, etc.

Also, the imperial system is defined through the metric system.

In using imperial, you're just using metric with extra steps.

In the UK, weed is measured in authentic receding British imperial units where an ounce weighs one less gram every year.

The army uses metric almost exclusively. It’s where I learned it.

My favorite fuckery is when Europeans see shit like 25.4mm, 27.2mm or 31.8mm and it's because of imperial bullshit

talking to my european friends
talking to my african friends
talking to my asian friends
talking to my south american friends
talking to my north american friends (exceptions apply)
talking to my oceanian friends
talking to my antarctican friends

Not to mention that every single food product has metric measurements on the label as well.

Last panel should be the entire US Customary System, which is literally just a rescaling of the SI ("metric" system) units. US Customary is derived directly from SI.

Bicycle parts entered the chat

I literally learned lessons on metric in public school

When I was young I lived in Puerto Rico for a few years (1980's). Milk was sold in either one litre cartons or one gallon jugs. Distances in road signs and road markers were in kilometers but speed was in miles per hour. Fuel was sold in litres but fuel usage is in miles per gallon.

You forgot measuring bullets.

The whole world uses both for various things. Even the countries that "officially" use metric. Specific global industries still use imperial. Canadian and British people are perhaps the most famous for combining the two, but most of Europe also mixes things in here and there.

And of course the whole conversation is Euro-centric and ignores the historical use of traditional measurement systems in Africa and Asia, but somehow that never gets brought up.

Let's not forget that the Apollo space program used SI units at every step, except for displaying it to the astronauts.

What are you talking about with the weed? It's sold in pounds, ounces, quarter ounces and "half quarters" which is as ridiculously un-metric as it gets.

Which sports use metric in the US? Gridiron football uses yards, auto racing uses miles, baseball uses feet, etc. The only sports I can think of that use metric are track and swimming, and those aren't as popular outside of Olympics time.

not to mention, the imperial system is just the metric system in disguise. An inch is defined as 25.4mm, and not by some universal constant, like a proper measuring system.

Yeah, but you still have work tool measurements in 5/8, 7/32, and 13/64 or whatever the fuck dumbass measurements.

I say this as an American that hates the way tools use measurments here.

I was just in the states and I didn't think the budtender understood grams so I was careful not to use that language lol

Like many strains, weed is a hybrid situation

Weed to uses a mix in Canada

fucking go to space

I got 40-90 C down pretty well monitoring my PC temps in that I know more of what it should read in C compared to F.

Soda bottles larger than 20 ounces...

As a European: How many ounces do you need to buy for a joint?

Some of us are comfortable going both ways.

But don't tell anybody because I live in Texas.

Funnily enough, I'm in a metric company and buy my weed in imperial

Wine and other liquor bottles too. Go check that sticker, I guarantee you it's measured in milliliters.

I use a mix

Europeans literally see no irony in throwing shade at Americans for hanging onto their traditional measurement system, while also speaking 27 different languages in the span of a few hundred miles.

Maybe come down off your high horse until you get that situation sorted, eh? >.>

Edit: Oops, I thought it would be safe to make a joke a in a meme thread.

as an European, MPH seens better.
