Metric System

I can't be bothered learning imperial units. Nope, just can't. Google does that for me whenever I need to go back to the middle ages.

 

I'm not like the French, I don't bother others if they don't care for it but I sure like my metric.

 

Watch the irony as svip comes in here and defends the metric system while using insane Danish numbers.

At least I don't confuse 20 for 12.

I just wish the US would switch to Metric so that every year, when I get back to school from summer vacation, I won't have to sit there converting Miles to kilometers, inches to cm, and etc. They make us do the exact same sh*t every year instead of teaching us something new. confused.gif Kind of annoying. Plus I think Metric just tends to make more sense.

And Fahrenheit can just die, I mean, what the hell is up with that. Even temperature measured in kelvin is easier to understand.

Of course Kelvin is easier to understand, it's just Celsius + 273.15. If you know the Celsius scale it's a walk in the park.

 

Agreed that Fahrenheit is harder to work out though, then again we're just used to it. I can tell you to within a few degrees Celsius what the temperature feels like, but in Fahrenheit, not a bloody clue.

 

It's not that hard to work out the difference anyway...

 

(5/9)*(Fahrenheit-32)

Yeah, CELSIUS HERE.

 

And you just showed the math you have to do transform Fahrenheit in Celsius, and the one to transform Celsius in kevin. LOOK AT THEM. Huge difference.

 

But yeah, like I said, it's all a matter of getting used to it. Like some person tells you, for an example, "omg how can you speak german, it's such a hard language!", but when you're speaking/listening to it since you were born, it's actually not as hard as it looks.

ZING!

 

Seriously, why would you use duodecimal? I fail to understand how it's any better than the decimal system.

I'd rather keep it a Quarter Pounder.

I like measuring things in animals. Like I have 4 and a half lizards.

 

Lizards are gallon. 5 dollar a lizard.

I have no idea why this post made me laugh my ass off.

Yeah, but the "113.3 Grammer" wouldn't sound bad either.

Does it really f*cking matter? I mean, as long as you know what time it is, how fast you are going, and how much things weigh and there height, it's fine. I don't understand what all the fuss is. If you count by grams, good for you, you count by pounds, good for you. It's a person's choice, and it's not worth arguing about.

It's not nice to wave these about when someone's hungry.

 

 

Not having depth perception could f*ck up someone's ability to guestimate measurments. I wonder what the world would look like...

Vincent: And you know what they call a... a... a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris?

Jules: They don't call it a Quarter Pounder with cheese?

Vincent: No man, they got the metric system. They wouldn't know what the f*ck a Quarter Pounder is.

Jules: Then what do they call it?

Vincent: They call it a Royale with cheese.

 

The link had Royale with cheese in it, but reading those two posts made me think of that scene.

That is one of the tastiest pictures I've ever seen in my life.

 

This needs to be seen.
