@theorytoe @Reluctant_Weeb @bleedingphoenix 100 cm = 1 meter, it's extremely easy to convert in your head
meanwhile feet to miles will never give you a precise amount, that's because british units were invented by down's syndrome patients

@lina @Reluctant_Weeb @bleedingphoenix ah yes because I need to know that kind of distance in feet
meanwhile euros dont know whether to choose meters or centimeters

@lina @Reluctant_Weeb @bleedingphoenix
but realistically you will never need to have a measurement in km represented in cm
the size difference is too large

Embed this notice
@theorytoe @Reluctant_Weeb @bleedingphoenix and yet you can because it's a matter of converting to meters and then to centimeters, and you can do that in your head
it just works, if the british units were abolished then production quality would go up

How often do you do these conversions in actuality? Can you approximate measurements with your body? Can you divide literally anything into thirds? What range of Celsius do you use on a daily basis? Metrics units are inhuman and made to look pretty, rather than be useful.

@Reluctant_Weeb @theorytoe @bleedingphoenix i know i'm 185 cm, therefore picturing myself lying flat on the ground is an approximate of 1.85 meters, makes it easier to gauge distance
i don't need to divide it in thirds
-20 to 100 celsius is what i keep in mind daily because -20 is the coldest it got last year in winter and 100 is the boiling point of water
you are just butthurt there's a simpler, less british way of measuring things

@Reluctant_Weeb @lina @bleedingphoenix
Si units make sense when you need shit to convert across multiple kinds of measurements with multiple ratios of said measurements
doing that kind of thing in imperial is hell
but that being said imperial is way more divisible than metric

You could do this with literally any system of units. But imperial units evolved to be useful in such ways; or rather the evolved out of such things being used in lieu of standard units before the units were standard. A man is about six feet (two yards, how about that!), a stride is about one yard, a foot is about a foot, etc etc. Also, imagining yourself lying down is not going to be any sort of reliable, you'd have to have a correct idea of what size you are in third person for it to be, much better to learn your wingspan and actually check it.
>i don't need to divide it in thirds
lol
>-20 to 100 celsius is what i keep in mind daily because -20 is the coldest it got last year in winter and 100 is the boiling point of water
The coldest it got to the boiling point of water, what a nonsensical scale. And why do you need to have the boiling point of water so easy? Do you put a thermometer in a pot of water when you boil it, or do you just watch for the water to start burbling like a normal person. The boiling point of water is such an arbitrary and rarely useful number, but because it's pretty the French decided to make it the basis of their shiny new metric system temperature. In Fahrenheit you go from 0, which is very very cold outside, to 100, which is very very hot outside. Very human, based around measuring the weather, which is the primary use for it. My area goes beyond both those marks every year.
>you are just butthurt there's a simpler, less british way of measuring things
There is nothing simple about the metric system, it is arbitrary and difficult. The imperial system is not British you fool, but metric is French.
