minus-squaresurewhynotlem@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up19arrow-down1·13 hours ago Metric is just as great for everyday life as imperial units. This is what the metricians say to feel better about themselves, but they never mean it. “Oh yes, I’ll have a 236.588 milliliters of tea, thank you for offering” “The kids are out playing in the back 0.914 meters” “Doctor, I think I broke my left 30.48 centimeters” Do you see how silly you would sound if you didn’t use imperial?
