minus-squareMy Password Is 1234@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up68arrow-down17·10 months agoWhy can’t Americans just be normal and use the metric system rather than some shit like 5’11 120 lbs? What the heck is that
minus-squarePatFusty@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up45arrow-down7·10 months agoSorry thats 1.8E9nm tall and 8.5 stone. Hope thats easier for you to understand
minus-squareSekoia@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up53arrow-down5·10 months agoThe stone isn’t since it’s not metric but the height legitimately is since I can just drop the e9 and get a reasonable height. Since, yknow, metric makes sense.
minus-squareAqarius@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up25arrow-down3·10 months agoIt’s funny, you try and be intentionally obtuse with the nano units, except doing it in metric doesn’t work since “1.8” is still there.
minus-squareBillegh@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up18·10 months agoI’ll help explain: 5’11 is like 9’11 and describes the sidereal period when he was born. The lbs in 120 lbs is for Likable Behavior Scale units. He’s just saying his brother scored very high and is very likable.
minus-squarematthewmercury@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up14arrow-down2·10 months agoThe truth is that all Americans are comfortable with the metric system but we still use Imperial when we know it will bother you.
minus-squaremaynarkh@feddit.nllinkfedilinkarrow-up14arrow-down3·10 months agoYou guys crashed a probe into Mars the last time you tried to use metric.
minus-squarecaptainlezbian@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·10 months agoAnd yet you insist we keep trying. For shame. What other celestial bodies do you want us to crash into?
minus-squarematthewmercury@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·10 months agoThat was one of the times we bothered you.
minus-squarestarman2112@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-210 months agoYeah but the time before that we put a man on the moon with it
minus-squareMindSkipperBro12@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down1·10 months agoAnd that’s why Imperial is better, Metric just crashes spacecraft into planets.
minus-squarefmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·10 months agoPretty sure you should blame the British.
minus-squarestarman2112@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up2·10 months agoBlame the British, both for inventing the system and for being so insufferable that we refused to change to metric along with them
minus-squarefmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·10 months agoThey didn’t fully switch. The chart of measurements used by the British is very… random.
minus-squareMindSkipperBro12@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·10 months agoFor you guys, he’s about 5.11 liters tall.
minus-squarerambaroo@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down1·10 months agoIt’s too late for us, once the end comes and we’ve split into multiple countries we’ll finally have the opportunity for genuine reform
minus-squareFrankTheHealer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·10 months ago5’11" = 180cm 120lbs = 54.4Kg For all those who prefer normal measurements lol
minus-squarecum@lemmy.cafelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·10 months agoBecause it makes other countries mad using our freedom units

Thanks, the nm were useful

Alpha Centauri
