I wish the metric system was implemented before I was educated so this would be a non-issue.

Anyhow, this made me laugh. Of course, NASA and the United States know the reason metric people cannot ever reach the moon - it is not a constant. There is no base 10 way to reach it. The moon's orbit is elliptical, based on Luna and Earth's gravity, as well as the pull of Sol. Reality defines systems of interpretation not some arbitrary BS like math + numbers.

Liberia makes sense because it's the hosed up little offspring of America we like to pretend doesn't exist and it's pretty disingenuous to compare the united states to Burma.

eurofags posted metric signs everywhere and the populace didn't shoot them to smithereens because they're all a bunch of peasants

the only reason americans ever use metric is to be culturally sensitive while owning the gently caress out of the rest of the world, like, yeah we killed you, but we did it with 5.56mm bullets

meanwhile, the serfs in europe throw bananas at black soccer players, smdh

Other countries envious of our thermometers and measuring tapes with two sets of increments on them. They pay the same price but only get half of the measurements, which to them is 0.5 times the measurements.

cause a proper american thermometer tells me the difference between obvious coat weather at 64 degrees and comfortable shirt weather at 65 degrees, and also i'm not 203.4985166684 meters tall who has time to write all that
