Stupid European METRIC system inferior to American Imperial system

Why you stupid Euro fucks are saying for example that the water was 1200 millimeters high. 1200 mm.
Why don't you divide it by 10 (one centimeter is 10 millimeters) 1cm=10mm
1200mm divided by 10 = 120cm. 120 centimeters you fucks.
It's much easier to 'visualize' 120 cm than 1200mm. Or even better yet say it the water was 1.2 meters high.
American Imperial system is much easier and smarter and much more practical.

All Eurofucks media are using the millimeters even in a very large digits instead of reducing it by 10 and giving much easier smaller digit number.
There was a report when they said that the water was 1276 millimeters high. This is what the news anchor said, water was one thousand two hundred and seventy six millimeters high.
What the fuck Euro idiots. You say it, water was 1.276 meters high or just round it up to 1.3 meters high.
Who has time listening to the news to visualize how high is 1276 millimeters of water.
Or when there is a rain or snow and they say it was a 84 millimeters fallout. No you say it, it was a 8.4centimeters fallout. Much easier to visualize.
Say it 8.4 centimeters. Eight point four centimeters, not eighty four millimeters.

Distance.
How many times Euorofucks are saying it was 2458 meters far, they say: Two thousand four hundred and fifty eight meters far. How stupid is that.
No, you divide that and say it, it was 2 kilometers and 458 meters far. Or 2.458 kilometers far. Two point four hundred and fifty eight kilometers far.

Must be some stupid idiot in Brussels who come up with this shitty confusing idea.
I hate Euro-Metric system. American Imperial system is much better and easier to communicate and to 'visualize'
My conclusion is that the Eurofacks don't know how to use their metric system in everyday communication.

I prefer the metric system to imperial (we end up learn learning both here) but I agree with what you say. Using mm is retarded.

>2458 metres
or as the rest of us say: 2 and a half km

...

I actually completely agree. Here in Australia most people would round something off to cm or metres, but people in the trades always use mm for everything...

...

kek
You use whatever the fuck you like. just don't the american thing of trying to force the world to live your way

72 is 20% off of 90
72*5 = 360 = circles = layyynguage of the ayyylmaos
20% = 1/5th, 5 = pentragram = pentagon
90 = right angle = square and compass = freegaysonry
360 + 5 = 365 days in a year

I'm glad you are acknowledging this.
I don't understand what's with the radio and TV anchors by using mm instead of dividing to smaller digits.
It's not a scientific laboratory that you are using those geeky digits constantly.

It's all over the Euro media. I'm sure must be the stupid EU giving strict stupid rules.
Metric system per say isn't actually a bad system but the way media is communicating to everyday listeners is super ridiculous.
For those of you who didn't really listen to it, listen next time weather is broadcasted.
I understand small amounts of rain or snow, like below 1 centimeter, like 8 millimeters of rain, or below 2 centimeters like 17 millimeters, but above that make it simple and divided.
Super crazy.

Man the imperial system sure is retarded

>mexican intellectuals
i can completely understand why the gods got fed up and abandoned you savages

not to be the ad hominem guy, but...

So is not only in Europe.
Crazy that trades people prefer those large millimeter digits instead of using simpler 'coma' divided numbers.
So if you are measuring a board that is 3.7 meters long would they say instead 3700 millimeters long. Totally crazy.
1 meter=100 centimeters.
1 centimeter=10 millimeters.

>Imperialfag can't even make posts right

lol

Doesn't it have something to do with construction? It's easier to build using the metric system.

tell it to the mexican retard who used ad hominem first you retarded fucking leaf
day of the rake today
nuke toronto already, kim

fuck you. Lol
I got confused with those stupid millimeters, haha

Do you not know what ad hominem means or what.

The only reason people chose metric over imperial is because the math is easier to do (especially in the sciences) with metric. It's harder using the imperial which makes the imperial system that much more better because it actually requires real brains.

I feel like you're new here and are try too hard to fit in
Suggested Action: More lurking

>Burma and Libera are not countries
Sounds right

Avoids causing confusion from mixing units, if you always use mm's. Imperial is superior in this regard, as it's easier to keep units separate.

>Burma/Myanmar
>Liberia
>Britain (culturally)
I don't recall them going to the moon

>Totally crazy.
I really don't understand why you're so buttblasted about this. Metric is superior, everyone knows it. Even imperial units are legally defined solely in metric terms.

>It's harder using the imperial which makes the imperial system that much more better
A harder system to use isn't better. It's just poorly designed.

Africa is probably a better place to live too, right? The absence of roads, healthcare and infrastructure means you have to be strong to survive. The imperial system is the Africa of measurement systems.

Metric is good for science and our freedom method is best for practical purposes.

poor cletus, his brain cant handle too much information.

Yes I agree, metric system is simple in it's design but the way media and many others are using it is super retarded.
You would never say in Imperial system let's say 3274 inches, you would have this divided to bigger descriptors.
Like 3274 inches divided by 12inches=272.8333 feet or yet you would divide that to yards and so on.
But those media idiots with metric system they don't do that as I gave an example in the opening post.Totally stupid.I don't get it.Why?

Pathetic

Nigger, your imperial standard is based on the metric. Your values are based on ours.

Then why do people always say work harder and not work smarter?

>It's harder using the imperial which makes the imperial system that much more better because it actually requires real brains.

Just like the brains involved in this gem of a literary composition?

>a single media report which upset me is grounds to reject the measurement system which is used by 95% of the world and which legally defines my own
No.

>Imperial is superior in this regard, as it's easier to keep units separate.
Metric is superior, as there is only one unit for each quantity.

We should start writing upside down, then. That should make us smarter somehow.

Metric is much easier to use and convert, as it utilizes base ten values, allowing conversions through powers of ten
>1.0km = 1.0 x 10^3 m
It also allow for conversion between different unit types such as using the universal of pure H2O to convert between volume and mass
>1L (of H2O) = 1 Kg

...

An aeroplane flies at how many miles, my bergerstani friend?

You can mark Puerto Rico red. It's pretty much the same as the US.

My friends in Canada use inches for some reason.

usually altitude is measure in feet

...

I think it's probably just that they want to be precise. And as for saying 1.237 meters versus 1237 millimeters, it's really six in one, half dozen in the other, isn't it?

>american education

>It's not a scientific laboratory that you are using those geeky digits constantly.
there is no rule stating you must use mm for everything, you use the appropriate units be they um, mm, cm, m etc etc

>precision
the u.n. won't exist in 2137days

a friendly reminder why imperial system sucks.

>>a single media report
No it's not single report, its constant practice to use millimeters or centimeters even in a very large units of measure.
I think it has to do with EU regulations.
No logical person would ever do that for practical reasons.
It wasn't like that 8-10 years ago. Media was using more practical digits not this millimeters crap constantly.
I think geniuses at the EU decided that this will be smarter but is actually stupid.

you know cm and m are metric too. it's just the retarded news readers using mm because rainfall is normally measured in mm (when there is not much of it)....

they're retarded not the metric system.

0.0000012 Mm = 0.0012 km = 1.2 m = 120 cm = 1,200 mm = 1,200,000 microns = 1,200,000,000 nm = 1,200,000,000,000 pm = 1,200,000,000,000,000 am

And usually rainfall is measured in millimetres. You see my point?

I think you're mistaking some weird media stupid way off saying numbers (maybe if we say bigger, longer number, it's more impressive and decimals to make it look insignificant. I also communicate my penis size in milometers to impress and my weight in tons).

But think about it, how many times did you hear some cunt on US TV talk about a length of something in fucking football fields ?

And about how numbers are usually used is because of the way most of us pronounce them.
We never say "three point four meters", rather "three meters forty" and that's kinda rare on TV, they will usually say "three hundred forty centimeters" (maybe it's a thing on TV to not say decimals, i don't know).

But i've never heard anyone talking about multiple thousands of millimeters unless it's some cunt weatherman whose time to shine has finally arrived with hurricane Irma and he can feel important announcing his micro-doom forecast while being fully erect because for once, he can be on the screen for more than 30 seconds.

yeah its just that when one nation popularizes something and refuses to change it, we get this

The real answer: Because the significant information is the last digits. It's a science thing you may not understand. It is used in a science called meteorology and it is often relevant to know if it is up a mm or down a mm. So when saying 1276 mm the 76 turns out to be the most variable and as important as the 12. To throw in a divider and add a decimal point actually is making it more complicated, less easily understood.

Surprised anyone at Lockhead Martin would be using inches and feet LOL?! Where the fuck did they get their degrees? Probably a decision by upper management.

desu the Imperial system is really retarded and archaic, and using it for scientific stuff is just painful.
I think I remember reading Myanmar is trying to go to Metric too.
Canada should definitely be green too though, it's not as widespread as the perfidious Brits but I'll still catch it every so often

Fuck metric utopianism.
Long live Anglo-American Imperial measurements.

NIGGER LOGIC RIGHT HERE

>Using mm is retarded.

mm are great for small measurements like sea level rise. When climate alarmists challenge climate realists it's real handy.

>I think it has to do with EU regulations.
No it doesn't.

Why not just say a plane is flying at six and a half miles, instead of however many thousand feet?

Burma is a colonial name, new regime just being bolshy and our media and governments just give in.

Same with Peking and Beijing.

>they're retarded not the metric system.
OK, I give you that.
But is just so annoying to listen to weather reports with large digits being quoted and not divided for easier 'visualization' like somebody told them not to do it.
I remember 8-10 years ago weather anchor would say,10.7cm of rain, ten point seven centimeters of rain. Today is, one hundred and seven millimeters of rain.
It's not just one particular radio or TV station, it's all over the news.

Being able to convert readily from mm to cm, to meters by shifting decimal spots is amazing though.

Your saying you have a problem visualising 1200mm? That's 1.2 meters? mili = 10^-3?

Like milisecond.

That makes more sense and shows you the relationship between quantities. Nor can you multiply them quickly and efficiently.

For example, what's 3 feet in yards?

I dunno, but I know 3 meters is .003 kilometers, and 3000 mili meters.

> requires real brains
a simple but frustrating multiplicative factor?

If I call burn 10g of coal to heat 10 cc of water from 40 to 50 oC at the sea level, how much more coal will I need to burn to the water start to boil at 1atm?

Now try doing this in imperial.

...

rain is usually measured in mm, roads in km, etc
you won't hear anyone say 'the road was 32000 meters long', and you won't hear anyone say 'the rain has reached 1.6 meters'

Scientific notation has the metric system built into it, where you can use pre-fix suffixes to communicate large numbers.

A gigapascal.

If anything we should make time metric as well.
A second, a kilosecond, a megasecond and a gaigasecond.
afterall we have a milisecond and a nanosecond.

Kilosecond = 16.6 minutes

megasecond = 15.57 days.

Gigasecond = 32.51 years.

1 L x (density of H2O) = 1 kg
density of H2O = 1kg/L

>But i've never heard anyone talking about multiple thousands of millimeters unless it's some cunt weatherman whose time to shine has finally arrived with hurricane Irma and he can feel important announcing his micro-doom forecast while being fully erect because for once, he can be on the screen for more than 30 seconds.
You making all good points, but this one is also very funny. lol

obviously you do not if you think that i don't, 'genius'

Caution though, Celsius isn't about 0 to 100.
0°C is the temperature of ice water fusion, same as 0° Centigrade.
1003Celsius means jack shit, 1003 Centigrade is boiling water.
99,975 °Celsius is boiling water ..

kys

why are my degrees signs all fucked up and replaced by 3 at the third line, ffs

rainfall is measured in inches, subhuman

an eighth of an inch

>just don't the american thing of trying to force the world to live your way

Pretty much too late, Americans have already largely colonized the world's culture. Whether it be business, entertainment, fashion.

It is like the 6 degrees of separation thing, but for American it is only 2-3 degrees of separation in the most extreme circumstance.

Put another way, if this was a game of civilization, America won decades ago and now we are just letting the clock run out post-game until the world ends.

>So when saying 1276 mm the 76 turns out to be the most variable and as important as the 12. To throw in a divider and add a decimal point actually is making it more complicated, less easily understood.
To me 1.276 meters is much easier and quicker to visualize than 1276 millimeters. The 1276 mm I have to 'translate' in my mind to meters and centimeters.
With 1.276 meters I know that is a meter and 27 centimeters (who cares about the 6 millimeters) with this high level of water.
Yes when you are in the laboratory things are different, but this is a weather news, give it in a simple easy quick form
for the listeners to form a mental picture so they can follow your other informations instead of trying to decode this stupid large digit.

>What's with the 2 different names, anyway?
One is metric the other imperial I guess. lol

>Your saying you have a problem visualising 1200mm? That's 1.2 meters? mili = 10^-3?
When you are listening to a weather news on the radio or TV is much better for the info to be given in such a format that you don't need to recalculate.
When you are reading it it's not such a big deal.

Notice when they give traffic road reports and they tell you when the accidents are and some reporters talk so fast that you don't have time to follow in your mind
where that particular location is because they are already yapping about another location, some of them slow down a bit so you have time to bring that location to your mind,
unless is in the area of town that you are not interested in at this particular moment.
Similar thing with those weather digits that you must convert in your mind while listening to what alse they are talking already.
Luck of common sense in my opinion.

>and you won't hear anyone say 'the rain has reached 1.6 meters'
Why not?
What's wrong with it.
1.6 meters, bum! you know instantly how much it is, but 1600 millimeters you need to recalculate in your mind while listening to the rest of the report.

>When you are listening to a weather news on the radio or TV is much better for the info to be given in such a format that you don't need to recalculate.
But normal measurements are given in millimetres. It's easier to say 1200 mm if you know normal rainfall is 20 - 30 mm. That way you can easily compare.

I was in Boston during the winter of 2014. There was 105 inches of snow. It was never once reported as 2 yards, 2 feet, and 9 inches of snow, or 2 point whatever yards.

Stop being so assblasted about this.

we report snowfall in feet unless its less than 6 inches

Not when I was there buddy.

Not my point anyway.

You got to be out of your god damned mind if you think anybody is gonna read all this shit science nerd

>There was 105 inches of snow. It was never once reported as 2 yards, 2 feet, and 9 inches of snow, or 2 point whatever yards.
But I would prefer to hear that it was 2 point whatever yards of snow and I would get instant idea how much is that, with 105 inches I have to recalculate in my mind and in mean time they are talking about something else.
I'm talking about weather news given on the radio or TV for general information of the public, this is not a scientific reporting to a bunch of scientists.
Make it simpler and easier quicker to absorb the news.

Some do some don't.That's how it works with every topic.
Some topics threads you can encapsulate in couple of sentences others you need to give more details.
Sorry for disturbing your peace of mind user. lol

>There was 105 inches of snow.
>we report snowfall in feet unless its less than 6 inches
Yes, I would prefer to hear that there was a 8.75 feet of snow instead of 105 inches.
105 inches divided by12 inches=8.75 feet.
Much simpler and faster to visualize that amount of snow given in feet that in inches, unless of course as you said is a very low amount of snow of few inches.

Sure thing faggatron

If I asked you what's the equivalent level of energy involved in the transition of electrons or the transitions of nucleons in the nucleus would you even know from where to begin, do imperial faggots even know what units are used for energy?

Do you even have units that can tell you the size of an atom?

Fucking useless system.

You need to involve nano tri-particles of subatomic quantum measurements to arrive at that conclusion, particulum brain thick bone

Youre not going to convince anybody.
Imperial units are ridiculous, specially considering that everytime I have to look a conversión on the internet, there are UK and US imperial units, and they are different just by a minimal amount.

Are you retarded?

99.974 degrees Celcius according to ITS90, but 99.9839 degrees Celcius if you use VSMOW water and a strict two point definition for thermodynamic temperature.

Somehow 40 posters understood my point I made in my thread.
You are the only one who has limited brain capacity to get the point.
Move to some lighter threads please.

i should clarify, i am not speaking on behalf of boston here, those niggers cant even find one white college-aged male targetting serial killer who has been active for decades
