      what were you measuring in middle school of all things, that would warrant using imperial units…

      if you cant look at anything not based 10, I hope you dont handle anything time or computer related

        Was your measurement systems values decided by a drunk dice game?

        1/12->1->3->5280->6080

        Just say that out loud

          when do you use all of those measurements in the same context is the follow up question.

          for example, why do europeans still use calories for food. the SI unit for energy is joule. things are decided because “thats what people are used to” . the calorie is not an SI unit.

            Why would you change calories into joules?

            And what do you mean you europeans? You guys use calories too! So does china and… I have not been to any other countries but I am fairly certain they use calories too!
