Metric allows you to convert between length volume and mass in your head. Someone smarter than me could probably take a reasonable estimate of how long a kettle will take to boil just by knowing it’s wattage and estimating its volume.

You’re right that “pounds” may have e been a practical measurement back when people didn’t have calibrated and everyone’s hand weighed a pound. However, that advantage ceased once everyone standardised those measurements.

A metre is equally divisible by 50, 25, 20, 10, 5, and 2. There arr numerous advantages to a base 10 system.

Sorry brother this makes me twitchy. Needs air.

The real answer, that we all know but dare not speak, is that it’s miserable here.

Once you’ve blocked the tankies, porn, and militant dweebs, it’s wall to wall politics and titty memes.

I’m here because I’m also a miserable asshole.
