The Imperial System of measurement is based on practicality and logic while the Metric System was invented by French proto-communists to standardize a system that is severely flawed. How did Europeans and everyone else who adopted the Metric System fall for such a stupid system of measurement?

Deluded. We use base10 number system , even you. So for 1000 you can write as 10^3. Comfy for doing science.

A gram = 1 = 10^0
A kilogram = 1000 = 10^3

Can you do that with Imperial?
>>
>>524419420
Niggers are illogical beings, the Metric System is illogical, therefore they are both illogical and nigger tier. What's that what you are making calls for 1500 ml and you don't have any tool to help you measure that out, yeah good luck measuring that out in your head with that illogical stupid shit.

>>524419508
The Imperial System can be used for both science and the kitchen, good luck using the Metric System for kitchen measurements especially if you have nothing to help you. The french proto-communist measurement system is stupid and only stupid people adopted it/defend it..

The goal of metric is to disconnect you from the human experience. The measurements are by design not relatable. It's a satanic system of measuring which is why all of it is based off the distance that Polaris goes under the horizon (Polaris is the throne of God and would appear under the horizon past the equator).
>>
I've used imperial to do chemistry before. It works. It's just more complicated math, but just as accurate.

it doesnt have any units for electricity (because it is that antiquated), Volts, Amperes, Watts, Farads, everything is metric
Also, all the imperial units are defined in reference to metric units, so they arent even real units

Metric system to imperial is like real numbers to rational. You can measure things, build a ship, sew a suit, but you can't do science and real engineering.

Length:
Vara: A traditional unit of length, roughly equivalent to 86 cm (about 34 inches). It was a base unit from which others were derived. In some rural areas of South America, a vara of firewood is still used as a volumetric measure.
Pié: Roughly 27.86 cm (about 11 inches), defined as 1/3 of a vara.
Pulgada: An inch, roughly 2.3 cm. Defined as 1/86 of a vara.
Legua: A league, a unit of distance based on the distance one could walk in an hour, roughly 6.68 km.
Weight:
Libra: A pound, the value of which varied by province. In Buenos Aires, it was about 459.4 grams. A libra de farmacia (apothecary pound) was different.
Onza: An ounce, 1/16 of a libra.
Arroba: A unit of weight equivalent to 25 libras (about 11.5 kg).
yea i can see why you need it
>>
>>524419329
I use my erect cock for measuring distance, weight, and land. I measure liquid based off how much I piss out onto holocaust memorial sites after a night of drinking. I don't really use minutes or seconds. The time it takes me to take a shit is my main unit of measuring time.
So I walked about 400 dicks down to the store and buy about 23 dicks of beef. I grab a holocaust memorial piss worth of wine and then head back. It takes me about 8 shits.

You can use decimals with the US Customary units. 8.4 pounds is a legitimate weight. 10.001" is a legitimate length. There is no rule or law that precludes decimals in the US system. The metric System uses Kelvins for temperature not Celsius. Water does not freeze at 0 K but at 273.15 K. In short the Metric System is useful but not the only thing that works. Listen to the astronauts landing on the moon calling out their distance and speed in US units.

Oh really? do you measure weight by feel or eye or do you use a scale like every single person? The scale is telling you the number, so its irrelevant if its lbs or kg. Same as measuring distance, you use a measuring tape like a normal person. You dont count with your feet or whatever. And we can measure precisely today because of standarizing shit. You cant standarize a foot length when everyone has different foot length, then pretend you can use such system accurately without standarized measuring

The best system would be a combination of the two. One that uses common body parts, distances, weights and the decimal system. We need to be measuring in kilofeet not kilo"meters". Everyone has a foot roughly the same size for rough walking measurements, everyone has finger inches, no one has 1/34,000th of the 1600s estimate of the distance of the equator in their pocket. It's completely arbitrary and by luck it made sense because they went by 10s.

1. Grams/meters/liters are kino
2. Prefixes are goated
3. Kelvin > Celsius and is absolvte
4. Units are useful, ergo pragmatism trumps idealism, consequently shakes and barns are based and prove Americans do SI better than eurotards
5. Fahrenheit is the ideal temperature scale for human comfort, its literally 0-10

Trade offer: America switches to SI nominally and the rest of the world drops Celsius in favor of Kelvin for science/engineering and Fahrenheit for weather/thermostats.

You know why the average European is feminine-brained and the average American is male-brained? It's the amount of languages and measurement systems used. The Average American uses more measurement systems than the average European speaks languages. Hell the average Euro speaks little more than their birth language poorly.
I have measurement systems for time, distance, mass, liquids, gas, alcohol content, engine output and temperatures both scientific and weather-related. All of these measurement systems need extra work to reconcile with one another because laid bare they have more cross-talk than a poorly shielded coaxial cable. And as an American I'm expected to do this on the fly.

It's no wonder the average European seems like a very dumb, but very smug fag to the average American. To us you all feel like you're mental equivalent of being incapable of changing a flat tire.

>the Metric System is illogical

I don't think you understand what logic means because the very definition of the SI system is Logic, i.e. It follows.
The Imperial system has explanations but very few steps of logic, every unit has its independent logic and is thus as a whole illogical because it doesn't follow itself.

But I do sympathise, I can't intuite the Imperial system at all unless I relate it back to metric first, a foot is about a 1/3d of a meter, an inch about 2.5cm or 1/4th of a decimetre, a pound about half a kilogram. Fahrenheit is complete witchcraft to me, all I know is 0 is like -20° and 100 around 40° but really it's the scale I'd like Americans to delete the most, everything else can sort of be made to work and might even with some tweaking be incorporated into the SI system, like, if you make the foot exactly 1/4th or 1/3d of a metre and a pound 500g and so forth.

You have 12 knuckles on each hand you can count with your thumb instead of holding your hands up like a preschooler.

And note how cm breaks the thousand jump between meters and milimeters. And yet even still all 3 units of measurement are ungainly when you actually try to do anything. Meanwhile inches can be represented fractionally and decimally in base10 with no issue. And in base10 when divided by 4 or half every decimal ends in a 5 while metric you'd be using like fucking micrometers and have a functionally meaningless full number or have to use scientific notion to do basic drafting.

both systems suck and we need a new one

imperial is base 12 which is just psychologically not compatible with humanity and it uses fractions which is pretty rough, and it's measurements are arbitrary.

and metric is often either too big or too small to measure things. the gap between cm and meters is gigantic. that's why everyone measures their height in feet and inches.

in the end i have to use both, depending on what is being measured.

1 cubic meter of water = 1 Liter = 1 kilogram

Especially for the kitchen the system is horrible.
Like cups of liquid will not be the same, since density of the liquid will he affected by temperature and air pressure.
So let us say I start my day working in the kitchen and it is 18°C, while my work day continues and I expel heat and the oven and burners work the temperature in the kitchen slowly rises to like 30°C.
At that point the cup of liquid from later that day will no longer be the same it was at the start of the day.
For weight on the other hand the 1000g in the morning will be the same later down the day.
It is very unlikely that you will experience notable gravitational fluctuations.
Even if they occured they are on such a minuscule scale you will not be able to notice or measure them.
While a precise kitchen scale will be able to measure the difference between the cups for the fluctuation in the weight through gravitational anomalies you need devices the size of a small town or city.

You can make any base numeric system. 12 is no much different from 10. Only problem all mathematics was already done in 10 base decimal system. You need ti rewirite all arithmetic and mathematics and that is too big of the task.

Mind you imperial doesn't have 12 base system. Foot is 12 inches, but yard is 3 feet and mile is 1760 yards.

In US every scientific body is using metric now. Imperial is used by civilians. I still fucking can comprehend how do you design anything with it when you need calculator for every build.

1km of sidewalk
need too put street lamps on every 100m
1km = 1000m
1000 / 100 = just - 00 and you get = 10 which is the amount you need and the spacing also. You can take out the meter, mark them on the ground and thing is finished.

In US KEK
1,093.6 yards - 0.62 miles
this doesn't work so we have to work with feet
3,280 feet = 999.7 meters because fuck you
spacing 328 ft (0,9997m)
3,280 ÷ 328 = 10 - retarded but at least something

It's work of a retard.

speed of light in a vacuum

Actual Origin of the Metric System
French scientists proposed the metric system in the 1790s during the French Revolution to create a universal, decimal-based system replacing inconsistent local units.
They defined the meter as one ten-millionth (1/10,000,000) of the distance from the Earth's equator to the North Pole along a meridian (a quarter of Earth's circumference through Paris).
Surveyors measured this distance via triangulation from Dunkirk to Barcelona, leading to the prototype meter bar in 1799.
Later refinements used more precise Earth measurements, then physical artifacts (platinum-iridium bars), wavelengths of light (1960), and since 1983, the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second.

The thing that makes metric work is standardisation. Which is important for anything remotely precise
Initially those standards were based on master measurements. So you had a collection of master kilograms that all other kilogram weights will ultimately be calibrated against (even if it is a long chain of calibrations)
Same for meters and so on.
The only reason the USA didn't adopt metric is because their set of master measures were lost at sea after they'd already decided to adopt it.

These days pounds, miles, etc are calibrated against metric measurements.
Now theres an effort ongoing to derive ways to objectively verify metric measurements using various natural phenomena. We've been through a few versions at this point and frankly they are getting kind of weird.

What's illogical are the colloquial units, like inches and furlongs.

Also let's do away with babylonian time and switch to decile.

Also my car's dash should read meters per second, hertz, cycles, meters, and cubic decimeters, instead of miles per hour, revolutions per minute, miles, and gallons.

If you are engineering and constructing 1 mile of sidewalk you aren't doing mental math. And even then you aren't buying aren't buying concrete by volume but weight so even more pointless of an example you dumb european jew who has never built anything in your life.

>How many cubic feet of sand do you need?
198,000 (5280x30x1.25). But landscaping-amounts of material are typically handled in cubic yards, and that's 7300 cubic yards (to the significant figures given in the problem).

Yeah modern metric is getting gay. It's like you had a physical measure that you standardized and used to measure the speed of light. Giving you a messy number and now you are back calculating that messy measurement to get back to 1 meter. Fucking silly. They also have a messy back calc for 1 second.

Used to be simple once you get the base measure of the meter. Then you have all basic measurements derived from water and the cm. Cubic cm is a ml and that volume of water is a gram.

Right, so where it matters its the superior system. What is the point in keeping the imperial system around then if you all understand metric and use it in technical fields?

Unsurprisingly anon, it makes perfect sense if you've been using it your whole life. That works both ways.

A meter hasn't changed anon, just how the standard for measuring an accurate meter has changed to align with new methods. It makes no difference whatsoever to the average user, only to those setting the standards.

>>distance equator to north pole is same
How do you locate the pole and equator to the precision required to base a measurement system on? How do you actually measure this 10-megameter distance?

>Can you do the same for imperial?
It uses the same physical references as SI these days. Constructing actual metrology references is exactly as involved.

>the Metric System was invented by French proto-communists
I usually don't respond to retarded mongrels who can't be bothered to even use a search engine but I'll make an exception to set the record straight for others in this thread. The metric system was invented by de Lavoisier, a French nobleman who was detained and later decapitated by proto-communist revolutionaries. So you have this backwards, mutt.

>>524441630
>I cannot conceptualize averages or trends from natural data
Did you know that ye olde metrology guidelines involved taking an average of the foot length of a randomized sample of the local population if a reference for "foot length" was needed?
>>
>>524419329
The imperial system is fucking retard. Metric is base 10 and makes way more sense for science. Also water freezes at 0 and boils at 100 is way more intuitive and logical. Anyone who seriously thinks the imperial system is better than metric probably reads at a 2nd grade level and thinks texas roadhouse is fine dining.

>>524444162
Sure but then we moved on from that arbitrary nonsense given it wouldn't even have been the same across a country given regional variations in stature.

Basing a unit of measurement on an easily-referenced part of the human body is the opposite of arbitrary. You've managed yo work yourself to an inversion of the actual situation here.
>>
>>524444806
But now you're back to "not all humans are the same size" anon.
>>
Avogadro's constant wasn't done in LBS you absolutely nigger. Metric is the system for all sciences. Imperial is for dumb Americans who cant read and don't visualize things in their head. The smallest measurement is an inch before you go into fractions, metric has MM. Water freezing at 32 and boiling at 212 is nonsense but 0 and 100 make sense. 12 inches = 1 foot. 5280 feet = 1 mile is gay AF. 100cm = 1m 1000m = Km is logical.
>>
>>524444806
Just shut the fuck up you dumb nigger and just admit your argument is based on pro American sentiment and not reality.
>>
>>524426851
Funny I thought that was Finland?
>>
Here is an easy to understand picture of the English imperial measurements.

Once you remember that 1 inch = 2.54 cm, you can easily compute all other units.
>>
>>524444941
...And so a reference value is used which is representative of a typical foot, and this reference is used to standardize measurement tools. This isn't difficult.
>>
>>524444952
>Metric is the system for all sciences.
SI is. Bit of a difference from Metric. And various fields use bespoke units like electronvolts or barns, since the parameters they work with are well outside those the base units were made to work with.

>>524445118
Did you know that there is a "heel toe" measurement method? You walk out a distance placing the heel of one foot directly in front of the toe of the other, and this gives an approximate measurement in feet. But since there is no Metric unit at this scale, that method is lost in Metric-dominant societies.

>>524437199
That's not how I remember it.
Pretty sure 100 was average human temperature, and over time the tools just got more accurate. So now it's 98.6. 100 is just the high end now before a real fever. Toddlers often run warmer.

No, but Imperial is for actual, every-day use. Metric is for faggy science nerds. Plus, your ancestors are definitely NOT smiling at you, metricuck.

>>524433349
>I still fucking can comprehend how do you design anything with it when you need calculator for every build
I don't though. Everything is fractions.
>>
>>524419329
There is no reason to be upset. Imperial is the natural choice for a pre-modern civilisation, where people don't have access to the definitive metre in Paris or whatever the fuck. Metric is the natural choice for a civilisation which has advanced mathematics and modern... everything. Engineers don't need to be fucking around with 3s, 12s, 16s, 20s, and 1740s.

>>524419621
it’s hilarious watching people here either include either:

>>524435164
ok take a meter and measure out exactly 1/3rd of its length.

meteric is useful for science and conversion, but in terms of speed of mental calculation and convenience for mundane daily tasks imperial is really useful because its most used units are highly divisible.
