Really?
Metric = globalism
he might have an easier time if we used metric
really
just use whatever you want
we use a mixture of both here and neither
Why don't you switch to metric? If you switch the other few countries left would switch too. In a few years you'd easily learn how to use metric.
It's obvious that yanks want to use imperial since it's always pride over logic with you dumb cunts.
Please tell me how the Netherlands landed a man on the moon using the metric system?
Hmmm?
What's that?
You didn't? Well ain't that just a nice how do you do!
>Americans still believe this 40+ years later
>le moon tactic
Wow, you picked pride over logic. Who woulda thunk it?
>work as a fish monger
>grocery store is in a resort town in Florida so there are lots of european tourists
>whenever they ask for a fish I try and help them by doing rough conversions from imperial to metric
>"How much is a ...lib of salmon?"
>"A pound of salmon is about 500 grams"
>"oh well actually it's closer to....."
more often than not they'll begin to correct me and go on some convoluted self-superior tirade on imperial vs. metric when I was just trying to be friendly and helpful
why do europeans do this
Yanks have infamously thin skin so it's a waste not to see them shart themselves a hissyfit. Thank you for being you, dear yanks.
Yeah I totally remember your great countries also sending a man to the moon. OH WAIT!
I didn't think americans eat salmon.
I like salmon.
It's actually my #1 selling fish. Some days I can sell almost 50 pounds/22 kilos of it.
Americans also like Cod and Haddock. They're popular in Scandinavia right?
Both Imperial and Metric units were used for the moon missions.
And since 1990 NASA now use Metric.
What's the least picked fish by your costumers? Why do you think is it? Do you also sell shellfish, what's your costumers favorite?
Honestly there's a lot of fish people just won't buy.
Any fish that isn't well known is avoided like the plague. For example, people won't buy Steelhead Trout even though it looks and tastes almost exactly like salmon, just because it's not Salmon.
Then there's uncommon fish like monkfish, corvina, kingklip, and cobia. Sometimes I won't sell a single piece of them.
Most of my clientèle are Midwesterners on vacation, so they already think of the most common fish as exotic. Anything that isn't sold in a can is forbidden and haram.
As for shellfish, I'm required to have littleneck clams, mussels, and snow/tanner crab on sale every day. The mussels and littlenecks don't sell much but I need to have them in stock.
I also sell steamer clams around christmas. The Midwesterners call them "pissers".
Then there's scallops. I'm required to have them in stock too, but they're so expensive ($21/lb for even the small ones) that I'll sell maybe a pound or two a week.
When they go on discount, or it's the holidays, I also sell lobster tails. They're expensive so people don't buy them unless it's a special occasion.
The most popular shellfish I sell are probably lobsters and tanner/snow crab.
Since it's the Holiday season, I'm selling more of the exotic and expensive stuff though.
I mean, its true
>corvina
Top tier fish. One of my favorites. But yeah, I guess it's like that everywhere. People just won't risk it and they go for what they know. Thanks for answering.
i see that we got a lot of smart fellas in here so tell me:
whats heavier
>kilogram of steel
>kilogram of feathers
Waiting for the boomers to die off desu. Metric is required for high school science classes so anyone born after 1990 already knows metric.
stel's hever then fethers.
We already know how to use metric, we're just never taught how to convert between the two. Also, our entire land system is based in imperial units, so a complete eradication of that system will never happen, but this is also the case in the other Anglo countries.
Fun fact, we attempted Metrication in the 1970s, with Baseball Stadiums and the Interstate being in meters and kilometers, but that fizzled out and was reversed by the mid-1980s.
yiss !
gret job
>why yes, I do indeed believe the moon landings were a hoax
This
I use a combination of the two
im more cultured
we metric countris stil use inches, for the diagonal length of displays and wheels usually
but using parts of ur body as a unit... lol
inches - small stuff
feet - height mostly
yards - football statistics
miles - long distances
Americans were passengers and financiers. Canadians and Brits put men on the moon tbqh.
>ameriburgers meassure their dicks in inches, not feet
ameridicklets everyone
>euros measure their dicks in centimeters, not meters
>>euros don't use the metric system but the metric system
eurodicklets, lol
>Any fish that isn't well known is avoided like the plague
>Anything that isn't sold in a can is forbidden and haram.
jesus christ, l2 enjoy fishes or just nuke yourself.
>amerilards measure their circumference in parsecs, not miles
We did, and we sent the first human ever to space, too. We use metric. What's your excuse now?
>British youtubers
They're all unbearable, why bother
