   The #marathon should be changed to 40km and American kids should be running 1500m instead of a #mile. #metric

     @wjmaggos Im all for switching the USA to metric, but we arent.. so im not sure it makes sense to use metric units outside of science... The last thing we want is some system like the UK where its uses 4 different systems depending on context

     @freemo

     The real reason why the USA hasn't switched to Metric is because, collectively, we've got a foot fetish.

     In the USA everyone is so obsessed with genitals I figure we will just measure things in dick/clit lengths... that way we no longer need to live in fear if someone we are interacting with may be dressed as the opposite sex. We will immediately know by how they measure things what their genitals look like. ITs a conservatives dream come true.

     @admin @freemo @wjmaggos So basically it's impossible for Quentin Tarantino to make a movie that does not take place in the US for this reason, and if they switched that source of art would be gone completely.

     Yeah, i'll read some stuff measured in eagles per square washing machine to prevent that! Don't switch, keep the feet!

     @freemo @admin @wjmaggos Well you might be even more right than you think.
     I read something about how there's a brain area where stuff related to genitals and feet gets processed, and that's why feet become sexual so often.
     Which would, if correct, make this obsession even more relevant.

     its a theory, but I think its nonsense. it also is based ont he assumption that its some biological mistake... People can and are attracted to nearly any bodypart. Feet is no more weird then legs or a stomach. There is no need to explain away feet to begin with.

     @freemo @admin @wjmaggos I am thinking feet are among the most fetishized non sex specific anatomical feature. (The part after the 'non' might be badly translated, didn't find on dict.cc what i was looking for).

     Sure, could be for any number of different reasons. But something seems to be there.

     I disagree, the most fetishized non sexual body part are probably breasts or face.

     @freemo @admin @wjmaggos Breasts are features that change with biological sex? Maybe my translation was really really bad...

     And a face can express emotion so much better, i'd count that as not fetish but empathy.

     @admitsWrongIfProven

     Not sure what any of that has to do with if its a fetish or not. After sex people have babies and gain weight, this means a persons ankles, feet, breasts,a nd face, all change as a response to sex... that has little to do with if it is feshized or not.

     Unless its a vagina or a penis it isnt a "Sexual organ" other than arbitrary societal norms which mean very little... Ergo the fact that some people **need** a pretty face or nice tits in order to get off by definition makes those fetishes.

     The fact that a face conveys empathy doesnt make it any less of a fetish if the **attractiveness** of the face is a factor.. You might not have sex with an ugly 120 year old no matter how much empathy she shows in her face, cause you just arent physically attracted to her face.

     @freemo @admin @wjmaggos I guess we did just ride this fun-topic a bit too far and went astray since we did not have a clear idea of what we were discussing ^^

     Breasts are a sexual body part, if they're large enough... ;)

     @freemo @admin @wjmaggos Confusing.
     If you mean attractive, i'd have to veto the size requirement... small breasts can be very attractive.
     If you mean doing sex things... get consent first!
