Just look at this soulless cookie recipe. This is the world metricians want us to live in. Completely disconnected from the human spirit.
Our custmary units and measures are superior because they are scaled to human use. Metric is scaled to things that are completely arbitrary to how it is used by humans. Yuropeens will say ">muh moving decimal point". But in the real world, customary units have far more utility. In things like cooking or carpentry you will find yourself dividing far more often than multiplying. It's easy to do it in customary units because they are base 12. You can only divide 10 by 5 and 2 but 12 is divisible by 2, 3, 4 and 6. What if you need a 1/4 or 1/3 measurement in your precious decimal system? It's no problem on our rulers and our cooking and baking measures because we have those fractions built into the system. And be honest, the meter is cumbersome, the cm is too small and the decimeter is a joke. The foot & inch have been means tested for millennia. Weights are base 16 because quantities of mass are tend to be dealt with as halves, quarters and eighths. Our temperature measure is also tailored to us. Who gives a shit if Celsius is anchored on freezing and boiling? That isn't an inherently useful point for everyday humans. Fahrenheit is roughly balanced around and ice/salt mixture and the human body temperature. It is scaled to human comfort. The truth is that waters freezing point (32 degrees) honestly isn't that bad. But anyone in a cold state can tell you that when you dip just below zero is when the cold actually starts to get unbearable. Likewise with heat, the high 90s is when most people's heat tolerance is tested. And our units more specific. One degree in Celsius is actually too broad a range of temperature and you can detect comfort changes within one degree. That's why when we estimate Fahrenheit we specify things things like "mid 60s" vs "high 60s" vs "low 70s". Metric is a meme for atheists and marxists
Why is everything in milliliters? it would make more sense to give a mass.
Lincoln Rogers
Imperial is also all base 12 and 16, which is vastly superior to base 10.

How to build something in Imperial. Say. A spice rack. I need two 27-17/82nd" pieces of wood. Bake at two gas marks. How many quarts in a furlong again?
Aaron Reed
Recipes over here give everything in grams, not sure what this horseshit is. How the fuck do you measure 5ml of salt? am i being trolled.
Ryder Barnes
actually liking this topic, good job op.
Sebastian Scott
The only reason I would support a national switch to metric is to piss off dorks like you.
This. Shit. Doesn't. Matter.
Juan Bailey
You're doing God's work OP.
Logan Ross
There are two types of countries, those who use ((metric)) and those who have walked on the moon
Ian Thomas
Autism: the post.
Carson Howard
Never happened. Ratio of hot to cold. Quick! The wings are de icing. 100 to 10. Aaaand calculate. Your system? 612 to 57. Aaand calculate!
Nathaniel Watson
By using german engineers
Carson Butler
you miss the point. Metric users constantly drone on about how "stupid" it is that water freezes at 32 and boils at 212 but give no reason why that actually matter. It's completely arbitrsry in day to day use. Fahrenheit is superior to Celsius because when everyday folks use temperature they are usually describing the weather and Fahrenheit is simply better at doing that.
Leo Rodriguez
I think you're right. Damn.
Adam Powell
>burger to stupid to think, needs cups and everything else.
Get fucked, drumpf.
Jacob Morgan
Do you bongs weigh each of your ingredients? In the US we use volume to give the correct amounts. Ex) 1/4 of a cup
Jack Carter
>aluminum
Nolan Foster
English is a lazy language for ball sniffers. Makes sense our measurements would too. Literally everything is tens. That is easy. Not 6.147's. Just like our language. I am you are he is she is we are they are. How confusing
Austin Wood
That's why we invented the computer leafs
Noah Rivera
Using U.S. units
Leo Perry
Aloominniyum? Also try pronouncing Löwenbräu
Lucas Collins
Then choke yourself and stop speaking English
Brody Rodriguez
That was prolly Turing or something else you knocked off. What is the imperial unit for nanograms. How about microns
Leo Smith
Just try speaking any other and you won't have your period. Other countries have civil law not common law and need to remember the genders of chairs. We just sit on them
Josiah Reyes
And numbers of chairs
Cooper Turner
>a paragraph of subjective "facts"
Connor Scott
>2 eggs This is outdated, since 2015 EU regulation states that rough estimates of total volume of yolk and white be given on each package.
throw it in water and measure how much the level rises, like archimedes
Carter Hill

Caleb Edwards
God Tier: Understanding that Imperial units are more applicable to everyday human life than metric units and that metric units are perfect for science because they're based on how water behaves and multiples of ten, understanding each system and applying it as necessary.

Implying that gender assignments on inanimate objects is based and wouldn't be assaulted with "muh 52 gandres" from sjws
Jace Butler
Wow. saged
Aaron Ross
Certain measuring cup sizes happen to correspond to commonly used masses in recipes for certain materials.
Also, In England at least, people know what a 'cup' is as a standard of measurement.
Nicholas White
They already dealt with those things. Somebody decided some nouns have a somewhat "neutered" gender. If we had threads on the genders of objects we'd be here for a loooooooong time. They did it quicker. Probably only God is responsible for bringing us back from confusing our tongues
Angel Thompson
Then it would be spelled Luwenbräu
Zachary Morales
Yeah, who needs precise amounts? Just throw 10 bushels of flour, 9 4/78th pecks of sugar and a grain of oil in there and hope for the best.
Julian Parker
Bud. You can't use inches for electrons and it's a proven fact we are not dicklets. Maybe it's your obesity who knows. If you concerted to kilos you could appear lighter
Hudson Evans
Why isn't it Lūwenbroï
Robert Wilson
>some nouns in other languages have neutered gender
So there's not only nonsensical gender assignments for inanimate objects, but also sometimes there's exceptions so it's needlessly cluttered more
Chase Evans
But how would you know how many grams of a substance would had? You'd have to weigh it. Do bongs really just keep scales in their kitchens?
Eli Rivera
Yeah pretty sure they didn't use the imperial system to go to the moon though. That would be retarded.
Jacob Davis
It looks weird to you because you aren't used to it desu.
Colton Clark
Professional bakers always use weight because accuracy of flour:everything else ratios is extremely important for consistent product.
Elijah Lewis
Yep. And then there's pluperfect. I had been. And then there's the reflexives. I washed myself. And then the irregular possessives. They have come. Not they are come.
Jacob Nguyen
Fuck the metric system. Jimmy Carter pushed that bullshit hard in the USA back in the late 70's & people rejected it. All we got out of it was 2 litre Cokes
Eli Adams
yes they did
it's not that it just "looks weird". It's that it's impractical for everyday use
Aiden Rogers
This must be how the Japanese think of money. Everything you buy in Yen is some huge number. That's got to have some impact on the psyche.
Dylan Collins
I say we embrace the dozenal system of numbers, then Imperial units will have the "advantages" that metric claims
Robert Cooper
Nope they didn't. In engineering and hard sciences you use metric or gtfo.
>Impractical everyday use Sure it is in a country where imperial is the norm, that's just common sense.
Jaxon Bailey
English is the best language
Jason Evans
>Italy >young kid >go get some ice cream money from the dresser! >ok >$50 worth of lira for 50 cent purchase >back in days of lire they didnt give change >got change Yiss
Juan Gutierrez
They most certainly did use Imperial units for the Apollo program as well as the Mercury program and many others. Instruments read feet for altitude and distances in orbits were measured in miles
Nathan Edwards
we tend to use one of those
Hudson Anderson
English is like discussing one big slob who does nothing. Muh proper nouns. Muh capitalisation. But doesn't matter one man or fifty women. Everybody is fat and lazy
Matthew Gray
That's retarded unless these things were for public display.
Samuel Bell
Implying proper nouns and capitalization is unique to English and somehow degenerate
Justin Brown
The fuck? go back to Saudi Arabia you incoherent ape.
As a machinist this is the first time I've ever heard another american actually defend the use of imperial measurement
Gabriel Sullivan
And yet they worked. America has the best track record in space
William Lopez
You are just afraid to admit you are stuck with shit and are now making excuses why it isnt shit We in russia know this thing when we see it from personal experience
Cooper Parker
Trump will make ((Nasa)) great again
Jose Russell
Of course it works it just a conversion but it still retarded in scientific areas, unnecessary fractional units.
No one can seriously defend the use of the imperial system in anything STEM related.
Jaxson Mitchell
>Fahrenheit is simply better at doing that no, it's not.
Chase Thompson
If you can't use fractions then you're weak of mind
Elijah Carter
Americans only eat preprocessed shit. So it doesnt really matter.
Jackson Price
>No one can seriously defend the use of the imperial system in anything STEM related. Instead of making extreme claims about every single person's behavior, why don't you just read OP where he clearly defended it for different technology and engineering fields.
Juan Harris
You need a couple of 2 by 4s, some molding, a saw, and some nails.
Connor Hughes
Yeah they are. Nothing like that is capitalised anywhere else. The only things we really do that for is for first person singular present indicative. I. Me. The invisible hand. In other languages? 8 billion females could be discussing shoes and all it takes it one male to change the entire grammar. The female does not take the male's name. Here we cut our dicks off and say everything is a woman
Thomas Nelson
Germans only eat turkish cock
Lucas Sullivan
Better than >2 handfuls of flour >a pinch of baking soda >a pinch of salt >a cup of butter (wtf! that's so much butter you fucking amerifat) >a slightly smaller cup of sugar These instructions are retarded.

America fuck yeah, still doubtful.
Yeah that makes sense, I don't believe the US should go metric anyway.
Hudson Phillips
Keep telling you that nigger.
Kayden Jenkins
What are you even saying? You don't make any sense
Jaxson Lopez

>He thinks L stands for liquid Liter is a volume unit, not solely for liquids
Jonathan Kelly
>But how would you know how many grams of a substance would had? You'd have to weigh it. Do bongs really just keep scales in their kitchens? I do. So does anyone who wants their shit to turn out consistently. Ever notice that things have a different volume when you press them down/fluff them up?
Xavier Lewis
>muh spirituality in imperial system >muh estimations >what are tools of measure
Imperial system is a convoluted mess created by the (((eternal anglo))) to keep goyim confused and stupid, even though a better alternative was already available in France (which explain how every other major european power choose metrics); and then you, the autistic child of the eternal anglo, decided to keep it just because >muh arrogant pride
Carson Lewis
>check out some recipes to be sure >all in metric >not a single one lists ingredients like salt in ml >OP is a fag
Daniel Jenkins
>amerifat doesn't have kitchen scales Let me guess, you boil water in the microwave too.

Idiot.
Metric system is all based on water.
It's much better and exact than the thumb. Your system just dumbs you down.
Seriously, I respect burgers for somethings, but this is retarded.

Elijah Cruz
American recipe for cake: - Half tit of milk - Two cumloads of butter - Racoon's hands full of yiest - 1/2666 of your mommas weight in white sugar - Quater fuckload of water - 2 eggs - pinch of salt that is about 3 children's worth of tears tortured for about 15 minutes - 17 cocaine bags of flour
Put all together and bake it for 3.5 times that it takes for your shart to dry
Austin Wilson

We dont like the metric system for the sole purpose of making foreigners look and feel stupid.
All other countries have usa envey, and u all know it
