Imperial is for the practical, metric is for the theoretical

submitted by bosunmoon to whatever 5 monthsDec 8, 2023 19:47:52 ago (+11/-0)     (whatever)

The metric system might be gay, but it's really good for theoretical ideas.
Imperial is better for anyone who can actually turn theory into reality.

Metric plywood would be retarded.

Metric is good for doing math. Imperial is good for doing stuff.

Imperial is linked to reality.

The human pace s harmonic with the solar system.

Radius of the sun is 432 harmonic human paces.

Multiply by the harmonic diameter of the moon by its radius, 108.

And you get the distance to the earth.

Multiply the moons diameter by itself and you again get the distance to the earth.

864 harmonic is also not just diameter of the sun but the number of seconds in an earth day.

And sun radius, 432, has been the A note in cycles per second for thousands of years.

It is my belief that humanity was moved away from imperial to hide that our ancestors knew dimensions of the solar system and to disconnect us from reality.

Amazing shit

The swastika was prevalent throughout all of the world primarily because our Aryan ancestors put it there in their travels. There are several other symbols that go with it (that I can't find via modern search engines because all they return are companies trying to sell me shit). The Wheel of life/fortune and the circle/garden of Troy, as well as many others.

These symbols are remarkably similar to the milky-way galaxy(ours) seen from above.

What the fuck is this zodiac sign shit?

How much does a cup of water weigh?

What the fuck is this zodiac sign shit?

Look into your ancestor's history.

How much does a cup of water weigh?

About 8oz worth.

My ancestors were counting harmonic paces around the sun? Jesus fucking christ get a grip.

The Parthenon is dimension x by dimension y.
Not square.

As you know, longitude and latitude form squares around the equator, but as you get closer to the poles the shape becomes rectangle.

The dimensions of
Parthenon are exact replica of long lat lines based on where it is on earth.

Who over built it knew the size of the earth and to divide by minute arcs.

Same as who ever built the great pyramid.

I think it's more likely that who ever built the solar system built humans and matched the harmonics
Not a true square.

Metric is ok but it’s missing the foot.
Going from centimetres to meters is to big a jump to be as useful as imperial for practical stuff.

[ - ] germ22 2 points 5 monthsDec 8, 2023 21:35:15 ago (+2/-0)

Use decimeter.
Decimeter is great to measure and calculate volume. I cubic decimeter is one liter of volume.

In metric? I think not.

The metric system is great for chemistry. It would be an issue to use imperial units for concepts like concentration or molarity. 1 part per million = 1 mg/L for example is a very nifty conversion and easy to scale up or down in orders of magnitude.

1200(120cm)(1.2m) x 2400mm(240cm)(2.4m) plywood is retarded?

Imperial is honestly dumb as fuck and anyone who uses it just uses it out of habit. 1L of water is 1kg.

Metric is for everything everywhere in the world. Imperial is for Americans that use ilogical methods of measurement no one understands.

Imperial is written in the heavens.

The human pace multiplied by 1000 is a mile.
The ratio of sun diameter to the moon radius is the same distance to earth as the moon diameter x moon radius.

In miles.

That's amazing.

[ - ] DeathTsunami 0 points 5 monthsDec 9, 2023 01:49:28 ago (+1/-1)

That's fucking retarded, if you have different leg lengths you walk different distances.

[ - ] Belfuro 0 points 5 monthsDec 9, 2023 16:03:54 ago (+0/-0)

Sure.
Greeks and Roman's had different paces and still different miles.
Standardized though.

But the diameter of the sun is still 864 x (pow) miles.

A factor that isn't complicated by variances is the ratio of the moons diameter to the sun and their distances to the earth.
400

Sounds unnatural to me.

Most people say one is better than the other simply because they are used to it.

[ - ] Lost_In_The_Thinking 1 point 5 monthsDec 8, 2023 21:26:31 ago (+1/-0)

Metric is far more precise and is better of engineering and science.

Imperial is long established, it has an easily grasped frame of reference, at least in the US, due to its having been used so long, and building and carpentry use it because it's commonly understood.

And I agree another commenter, metric doesn't have a discrete measure for something that's about a foot long. That's fail.

Metric gets annoying when the real quantity is freedom units but a law requires selling it with metric, that's when it couldn't be gayer if it was shitting rainbows.

Great example is motoring in UK where fuel has to be priced with £/liter, but once sold the distance it gives is then discussed in miles/gallon. All the road distances between places are miles, and upcoming junction distance in yards.

Milk cartons are pints but written as liters for sale, meanwhile recipes use ounces and fl.oz. Human heights are feet and inches and weights usually stones/pounds for adult/baby, but if selling one was a thing the legal requirement would be meters and kg.

Edit: I accidentally a unit size

"metric plywood"

Plywood can be measured in metric dumbass, just use a metric tape measure.

This joe-schmoe doesnt realize that objects can be measured with different standards of measurements. Double digit iq detected.

[ - ] bosunmoon [op] 0 points 5 monthsDec 8, 2023 20:53:33 ago (+1/-1)

Roughly how many square decimeters is your roof? How big is a sheet of plywood?

[ - ] Master_Foo 2 points 5 monthsDec 8, 2023 21:03:55 ago (+2/-0)

You understand that a roof size is arbitrary, right?
And a sheet of plywood can be ordered in any size you want.
Call up the lumber yard. Tell them you want a special size of plywood.
They will fill your order if it's worth their while.

You've never hammered a nail or cut a board have you?
