its not pointless info, the fact you don't know simple stuff like this shows a great level of ignorance

One of just 35 million people, less than the population of California, wants you to think metric.

We don't use metric because it's not familiar. I know exactly what 85 F feels like. If you told me it's 29 C outside, I have no sense of what that means. I'm 6 ft tall. No one here would know what I mean if I said I'm 1.8 m tall. It sounds like I'm a hobbit. For science, metric is the standard and is what we learn. I think it works when we don't have an intuitive sense of the numbers. We might as well say the moon is 384,000 km away. The numbers are arbitrary at that scale, so miles don't make any more sense than km.

Billions of people in the US are familiar with the current system, but I think metric is becoming more common.

metric is simply a better system because of how easy it is to convert between sizes/weights. relearning base rates of things might be difficult for adults (a little) but kids who learn with it will obviously have no problem. needs to start somewhere.

Agreed. I'm a sales engineer and I work closely with mechanical design engineers. We do everything in metric and imperial. It's being adopted and applied everywhere. Just because it hasn't officially been adopted doesn't mean that no one is using it.

The only measurement the US likes which is outside the norm and which I will defend is Fahrenheit. Fahrenheit has smaller units than Celsius, so you actually get a more precise read of the temperature without using decimals

Still, we don't NEED to know the difference between "60-70" degrees in ten demarcations as opposed to ~five and a half. But as a fan of meteorology, I do like Farenheit's precision.

There was this thing where he posted about how editing was delayed for his creepy SF video, and someone responded 'well of course it is when you fucking suck at everything else'

can anyone find that?
