In metric, one milliliter of water occupies one cubic centimeter, weighs one gram, and requires one calorie of energy to heat up by one degree centigrade—which is 1 percent of the difference between its freezing point and its boiling point. An amount of hydrogen weighing the same amount has exactly one mole of atoms in it. Whereas in the American system, the answer to ‘How much energy does it take to boil a room-temperature gallon of water?’ is ‘Go fuck yourself,’ because you can’t directly relate any of those quantities.
I want to increase volume of mercury by 3 parts per 10,000. I have to heat my mercury by 3F. Do Celsius calculation, please. In your head, right now. Oh, your system only makes it easy for water? Oh gee whiz, everything else is just as fucked in it's calculations? Wow, so progressive.
Water is just as arbitrary as mercury in determining a system basis, redditfag.
LMFAO!!! What a faggy thing to get offended by. Does your family know you're gay and/or mentally retarded? Yes. Metric is based on the most plentiful substance in the universe. What a substandard system. Did your parents have any kids that lived?
Of course this is why all science and engineering in America is done in metric, and standard units are left for day to day measurements that relate better to human dimensions.

Abstract numbers that math better, nod to metric.
I have to disagree. The Base 12 used in feet and inches is significantly mathematically better than Base 10.
Base 10 is mathematically a horrible numbering system. The reason Metric uses Base 10 is because that's the way we speak and write our numbers, and the reason we do that is because we have 10 fingers. (Of course Base 11 would be worse. But Base 10 is mathematically a horrible numbering system.)
Using Base 10 for Metric was mathematically a horrible decision. But, as economies and trade became more global, they needed to base it on a numbering system that would accommodate the lesser race's low IQ.
There are people in this world who are more than capable of using a mathematically superior numbering system, rather than having to use their fingers to count.
As someone who lives in a metric country, I use the Base 12 system of feet and inches for building and design, and use metric for any high precision machining, because I'm White and intelligent enough to use the best system for the task at hand.
My superior race should never handicap ourselves to be "inclusive" and "equitable" in order to accommodate the less intelligent people like yourself.
Again, my race should never limit ourselves just because the lesser races aren't as intelligent as us.
If you aren't capable of using a mathematically superior numbering system, then admit it. Don't attack the messenger in an attempt to try to force my people to be inclusive and equitable towards you. We were nice enough to create a simplified measurement system that matches the way you speak and write your numbers. Be grateful we did that for you. But don't expect us to use your measurement system, in situations where we can use a mathematically superior system, just so that you don't feel inferior.
How is it dumb to use feet and inches for building and design, and metric for precision machining? You'd have to be pretty stupid to only use metric when there are better systems out there. For example - I'm not going to use metric angles just because people like you are incapable of using a system that doesn't use Base 10.
The lesser races are restricted to only using metric because they're not intelligent enough to use a numbering system that doesn't match the way they speak and write their numbers. Meanwhile, me and my race are able to use whatever is best. And we shouldn't be held back by your incompetence.
We are superior, and we won't lower ourselves to your level because of inclusiveness, or equity, or whatever other bullshit words you come up with. I live in a metric country and use whichever system is best for the task at hand. The only reason why you don't do the same is because of your low IQ.
In the past we pitied the lesser races and their lack of intelligence. We gave them opportunities and tools that would allow them to at least somewhat take part in civilization.
Now we have White countries who's populations have devolved into being equal to the lesser races. Because it's easier to act like one of them, than it is to live up to the standards of their White ancestors.
Right now I can't tell if you're a White person who chooses to be incompetent or one of the lesser races who is naturally incompetent. Which is it?
Centigrade is still arbitrary. Why pick water? Maybe you've answered that. But did you know the freezing and boiling point of water depend on atmospheric pressure? So Celsius is tied to 1 atm as well, and Earth's atmospheric pressure is rare/arbitrary in the cosmos, so by you're argument above we should use something more universal than 1 atm for the boiling point of water, like 1 pascal. Oh, but that's N/m^2 isn't it. And what is a meter again? Originally the meter was an earth centric measurement as well, and now it's defined precisely as the length of the path travelled by light in a vacuum during a time interval of 1/299,792,458 of a second. Oh just WTF. I thought metric was based on TEN?
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEtarded!!!!! Idiot. Why is Mercury the hill you die on? Because you're an idiot and just want to stir shit. Faggots want to stir shit too. Does that mean you're a faggot? Faggot. You pick an element that is WAY less common than water. Why is that? Jesus you're fucking dumb.
Why is Mercury the hill you die on? You pick an element that is WAY less common than water. Why is that?
Mercury is used to make thermometers. Using mercury as a basis for a temperature system made it possible to have extremely accurate thermometers - you just make your mercury tube the perfect size that a 1F mark was at the 1/10,000 volume increase mark. Almost like it was designed fora specific, functional purpose.
Yes, from my reading on this - i cannot remember the book, or if it was on a Great Courses audiobook, but I have read a lot about the Scientific Revolution, and where things came from - but the original scale was from 0 to 60, as the inventor was an astronomer who liked using 60 degrees, because he was used to it in the minute, second values used in astronomy.
0 was brine, 7.5 was pure brine, 15 was room temperature, 22.5 was human body, and 52.5 was water boiling point. I cannot recall what 60 degrees represented. Farenheit was an instrument maker, and he went to Denmark to meet this astronomer and he used that system as his starting point. He adjusted it to 8's instead of these 7.5 chunks. He then, without declaring why, multiplied it all by 4, and he started making super accurate mercury thermometers which were sold for great wealth and profit.
His trade secret was that his multiplying it by 4 - making the original 7.5 degree freezing for water to 8 degrees, which, multiplied by 4 is where we got the 32 - made the math exactly, EXACTLY , equal to 1F change in temp to a 1 in 10,000 change in mercury volume. Hence, why he kept it secret: he wanted to keep his trade secret and sell his instruments for a premium.
Oh yeah, NOT in chronological order. Metric people are retarded.
Year 365. Months some 28, some 30, some 31. DERP. Nice metric system you use.

The conditional formatting is based on the size of the components. Multiple days make up a month, months make up a year, and we always know what our date expressions mean.
Although that violates the typical convention for numbers which puts the most significant digits on the left. Dates are weird, though, because they are not metric and can't be incremented sequentially. Which is why computers store everything as seconds/ms/us since an epoch.
This is a free country. You can use whatever measurement system you want. I think Fahrenheit makes more sense in a lot of situations, such as the weather.

As a woman, I love using imperial for its inaccuracy. If you say any measurements in metric people expect you to be right, but imperial measurements subtly tell them to measure while giving them a rough figure. Or they just tell me I'm retarded while not having any clue of imperial and measure, but either way works for me.
An inch is about a thumb bone, a foot is about a head or large man's foot (one reference for vertical the other for horizontal).
"Miles" is for any distance I have no idea the distance of, which is most.
In Australian English and most other English dialects, 'metre' is a noun that refers to a metric unit of measurement of length equal to 100 centimetres
Whereas meter is a gauge, like seeing how much water has been used from your meter.
Americans don't use the Imperial (customary, whatever) system as much as the rest of the world thinks, and the rest of the world doesn't use metric as much as Americans think.
In both cases, when you actually have to do something important like engineering metric units predominate. When it comes to cooking, or weighing yourself and your children, or determining how far you have to kick an inflated ball to score a point, people tend to use traditional measurements. Which all cultures have.
Imperial system allows craftsman to be more crafty. Metric system allows scientist to be more sciency. I have no problem using both in the ways that best suit them. I like my cars driving in miles and miles per hour but don’t mind my rockets flying kilometers per second.
Here are some simple facts about Metric and Imperial
- You are allowed to use metric for one thing, and imperial for another. - Base 10 is the numbering system we use to write and speak our numbers. But mathematically, Base 10 is a horrible numbering system. - Without Metric (without a numbering system that matches the amount of fingers people have) the less intelligent races would not be able to participate in the global economy.
Yes, Celsius is a better way to measure temperature. While the Base 12 used in feet and inches is mathematically better for calculations than Base 10.
And also, we have sacrificed parts of our mathematically superior numbering systems in order to accommodate the low IQ of the lesser races.
By converting everything to Metric, we have crippled ourselves in order to be virtuous and try to accommodate the lesser race's low IQ.
You can write it Day/Month/Year until you're blue in the face but you'll still say and think Month/Day/Year.
I don't care which is correct, only which is commonly used. Unfortunately both forms are commonly used so I generally go with Day/Month/Year because it's more 'intuitive'. But I always keep in mind that 12/1 could be Dec or Jan and I should clarify it if it's important. It's annoying but still workable.
A metric tape takes more time to read without doing a mistake and adding thousands of millimeters together in your head is also a lot slower than doing feet, inches & fractions.
I was raised on metric and prefer working in imperial, it's just way more efficient.

While the Base 12 used in feet and inches is mathematically better for calculations than Base 10.
And also, we have sacrificed parts of our mathematically superior numbering systems in order to accommodate the low IQ of the lesser races.
By converting everything to Metric, we have crippled ourselves in order to be virtuous and try to accommodate the lesser race's low IQ.

I don't care which is correct, only which is commonly used. Unfortunately both forms are commonly used so I generally go with Day/Month/Year because it's more 'intuitive'. But I always keep in mind that 12/1 could be Dec or Jan and I should clarify it if it's important. It's annoying but still workable.

Let me just measure this 2 foot 8 inch board, ah yes 812 millimeters. That should be easy enough.

A metric tape takes more time to read without doing a mistake and adding thousands of millimeters together in your head is also a lot slower than doing feet, inches & fractions.
I was raised on metric and prefer working in imperial, it's just way more efficient.
