     @Hoss @Terry one time I tried explaining why it is useful to have a super-divisible number like 12 or 60 as a base for counting things and that literal redditor could not and would not understand it.

     @Hoss @Terry unironically you have to be 120 iq to understand numbering systems other than base 10

     Metric was literally created to more efficiently shuttle illiterate agrarian peasants into factories because the only reliable way to make them not fuck up measurements was to use a system based on the number of fingers they had.

     Redditors think Metric is the heckin gold standard of smart people who believe in The Science because they were told that by high priests of the church like Black Science Man.

     @Hoss @Terry

     More seriously, in the manufacturing world, inches breaks down really nicely to the limits of what is measurable. 0.0001" is the utmost limit that can be measured with micrometers and obtained with the machines. Trying to adjust the machine by that amount or less is a fools errand. Specialty manufacturing processes, such as bearings, can be made with marginally smaller tollerances.

     With metric, it comes out to some weird-ass number that I don't care enough to try to figure out.

     Yuropoors measure their dicks in cm as a coping mechanism.

     @pwm @Hoss I used to hate math until I started relating it to to computers. after that it was fun as hell.

     @ins0mniak @pwm @Hoss I think we all had that experience of just wanting to figure out how our videogames worked and then accidentally learning linear algebra
