>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
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.
