Distance will be measured in inches, feet, yard and mile
>>215498498A meter is a completely arbitrary measurement. At least an inch or a feet are body parts you always have reference to
the british invented all those.
>>215498498Europoors seething
>>215498498All the measurement systems have fucked up relationships with cubits or other ancient measures in order to hide knowledge.
>>215498517The meter is based on a fraction of the equator and all measurements are on a 10 based system. A litter is 10 cm cubed.How many 3/16ths are in a yard for example is a nightmare to convert
>>215498525the who
>>215498549>The meter is based on a fraction of the equatorAn arbitrary fraction that you don't have a reliable reference to at all times
>>215498541but europeans invented those measurements
>>215498571and what if i have big feet? what if i'm like 10 years old, whose fucking feet is it based on
>>215498592All men's, needless to say white, feet are the same size.
>>215498571But once you understand it it's easy to imagine 100 kilometers or 60 litters. 789 inches? 3405 feet? A ton isn't even 1000 lbs its 2. Imperial is fucking idiotic, and converting anything or adding is idiotic. How much is 2 inches and 3/16ths plus 5 inches and 1/8 th? You gotta take a few seconds as opposed to 2.5 cms plus 3.2 cms

>>215498569no not those british
>>215498744That's more like 3-4 washing machines or 14-18 microwaves imo
>>215498498The US was supposed to get a representative meter and kilogram but pirates stole them.
Metric is betterExcept temperature. A fraction of a degree goes from normal to fever. And really most weather temperatures don't have enough nuance and gradients. It is also just as arbitrary.Meters and grams but no Celsius
>>215498951If Celsius was 0 for freezing and 1000 for boiling out would work better I think.
Why aren't we using multiples of planck units? I mean hello?
>>215498947The two sample Kilograms the US received is over 130 years old. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmSJXC6_qQ8
>>215498978Maybe but I am tired of being 0.1 or 0.2 from a fever and wondering about margin of error for the digital thermometer probably made in China
>>215498951Yup. Farenheit is the only US measurement I prefer over the rest of the world. Although C isn't arbitrary, 0 is the freezing point and 100 the boiling point. But still too finicky for every day usage
>>215498517A decimeter is about the width of your palm, a centimeter about the width of your pinkie finger. 2 meters is a very tall man's height, 180 centimeters is a normal male height, 150 is a short person.
>>215498517
>>215498951if metric is so great why dont we have metric time with 100 seconds in a minute 100 minute in an hours 100 hours in a day 100 days in a week 100 weeks in a month 100 months in a year 100 years in a decade 100 decades in a century
>>215499039combine this nonsense with people thinking 1/4 is more than 1/3 and you know why america is the leading country in being retarded.
>>215499059That would be better but a 12 based system is too ingrained to culture and history as far as time management goes
>>215499083>a 12 based systembut 12 inches in a foot is.................... LE BAD???????
>>215499059because the french tried that and failed miserably.
>>215499098is one yard 12 foot? is one mile 12 yards? is a league 12 miles?no? then kill yourself.
>>215499113everything is multiples of 12
>>215499012There was supposed to be a kilogram sent to the US in 1793 but it was stolen by pirates in the Caribbean.
>>215498951>>215499024There is no use case other than science where you need more accuracy than 1 degree Celsius, and in those cases decimals exist>>215499023Margins of error exist in Fahrenheit as well since they’re measured the exact same wayNonsensical posts

>>215499131>There is no use case other than science where you need more accuracy than 1 degree Celsius, and in those cases decimals existt. eats rubbery meat
>>215499098A 12 based system IS bad. I never said time management was good, I said it was too ingrained to culture and history. But there's no reason to calculate 5280 feet to a mile, or 1760 yards to a mile or 63360 inches to a mile. That system is antiquated and impractical as fuck.
There's a misconception in the US that standard to metric conversions are hard and overly exact. So like let's say you saw a snake and it was about a meter long. Americans wouldn't think it was about three feet long, they'd look up on Google how long a meter is and think it was 3.28084 feet long.
>>215499153see >>215499043
>>215499161>and in those cases, decimals existMongoloid
>>215499173big words from a nigger
>>215499113One mile is 5280 feet or 1760 yards. 5280 is chosen because it can be divided by a lot of other numbers. These are:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 20, 22, 24, 30, 32, 33, 40, 44, 48, 55, 60, 64, 66, 80, 88, 96, 110, 120, 132, 160, 165, 176, 192, 220, 240, 264, 330, 352, 440, 480, 528, 660, 880, 1056, 1320, 1760, 2640, 5280
>>215499210so not then?
>>215499210Ah yes. Very useful when I want to divide 14 miles by 264 ft, as opposed to just moving a decimal.
If you learn the Fibonacci sequence you can estimate mile to kilometer conversions easily.3 mi is about 5 km5 mi is about 8 km8 mi is about 13 km13 mi is about 21 km21 mi is about 34 kmYou can multiply this all by 10 or whatever, for example, 50 miles is about 80 km.
>>21549854912 is divisible by 2,3,4,6. 10 by 2, 5. The imperial system makes more sense mathematically too, unless you want to argue that we chose 360 degrees for its divisibility for the wrong reason too.
>>215499262The metric system is definitely better but that calculation is easy, it's just:14*5280/264 = 280 feet
>>215498517The meter is the amount that light travels in 1/ 299792458 second in vaccuum.
>>215499278You don't need to do that when multiplying by 1.6 is fairly easy already. If you have a measurement x in miles, just add half of x and then a tenth of x. For example:8 miles is 8 + 4 + 0,8 = 12.8 km.21 miles is 21 + 10.5 + 2.1 = 33.6 km
>>215499388That's not nearly as easy though it's more accurate. The Fibonacci method is more easily reversible too.
>>215499024>”What temperature does it start to freeze outside?”>Uhhhhh 43 Fahrenheit of course. And water boils at 223. But at least today is a pleasant 76 outside, last week it was 114 remember?Kek you don’t even realize how retarded this sounds do you? You sound like people running around using Kelvin except Fahrenheit has 0 (zero) scientific usage ever!
>>215499503What I don't get about Fahrenheit and Celsius is that the conversation is so mathematically simple. Like a Celsius unit is nine fifths the size of a Fahrenheit unit. That's 1.8, a fraction made of two small whole numbers. It's not like it's 1.864367 times the size. If they can be so easily converted, why are there even the two scales?Fahrenheit was supposed to have 100° be human body temperature and 0° the freezing point of brine. But average body temperature is about 98.6° and that throws things off.
>>215498609My beef with metric is the vast gap between the centimeter and the meter. It needs a foot equivalent.

>>215499503>What will I base my temperature around? Hmm... when the pot boils, of course!Kek you don’t even realize how retarded this sounds do you?
>>215498549foot inches are base 12 which is easier to do math with than 10 because 12 is a highly complex number or whatever the word for number with a fuck ton of factors is
>>2154986097 and 5/16th of an inch, the same size as my penis, wow, so hard >>215498723>your colonizerswe didn't fuck the indians
>>215498549Feet and yards, to be fair, have similar deep math origins. Look up the "megalithic foot" and "megalithic yard". Similar to cubits, they harken back to a shared ancestry of super-advanced builders that created the pyramids and other like structures.

>>215499503water freezes at 32 and boils at 212 which is 180 degrees hotter because 180 is an easily divisible number with a bunch of factorsthe only reason it's slightly dumb with starting with 32 is the yuro who invented it didn't want it to ever go negative so he figured 0 degrees was the coldest it ever was where he lived
>>21549915372 actually.
>>215499699cause it's based off of 100 vs 180. or 10/18 or 5/9
always kek at mythbusters when they put up the "formulas" where they start and end with converting to and from metric units but make it look like magic constants
>>215499278Truthfully nobody needs to know miles and kilometres that accurately so multiplying by 1.5 is usually fine
>>215499318The speed of light isn't constant. Neither is big G.The speed of light was circularly defined using the meter by international commission on weights and measures in the 60s because it would break Relativity to admit there are measurement variances over time.Big G is even worse, big G will vary from location to location and vary throughout the day in the same location.So no, unlike what you Einstein worshiping morons believe the speed of light isn't universally constant.

>>215500351Earth is an oblate spheroid.It's wider around the equator than it is looping round the poles. It also isn't perfectly round along the equator even without the tide constantly moving.The meter is arbitrary.
>>215500584You don't at all know what you're talking about.Ironically prove to me C and G are constants--this will amuse me to no end because you can't and don't understand why it's impossible.

>>215500660Relax, Ivan.
>>215500558>>215500584he's right. the speed of light isn't the speed of light, it's like the speed limit of the universe the fastest speed we know of to exist. light travels at different speeds based on gravity or medium. it's why nuclear reactors glow blue. because particles from the reactor can move through water faster than light can move through water >>215500564yeah that's 32
>>215500660one of those yuro countries refused to deport some muslim because he raped a child but he didn't rape her for long enough to justify deportation. also the media lied and said he needed an albanian interpreter when it was an arabic one

>>215500730>because particles from the reactor can move through water faster than light can move through waterPresumably we're talking about the speed of light in a vacuum being a constant.
Did our southern boy Bargatze deliver an iconic sketch? I wouldn't know
>>215498571>>The meter is based on a fraction of the equator>An arbitrary fraction that you don't have a reliable reference to at all timesYou are right, once you travel far enough away from the earth. But until then you have the reference

>>215500948
>>215500601Light has to move at c, Maxwell calculated this. C is the only speed photons with no mass can move
>>215501054From a book I once read>Faraday had shown that moving magnetism produced electricity, and moving electricity produced magnetism. Maxwell realised that a magnetic wave moving at just the right speed would produce an electric wave that produced the magnetic wave and so on … but it would continue to haul itself up by its own bootstraps only if it moved at the speed of light. ‘This velocity is so nearly that of light’, Maxwell commented, ‘that it seems we have strong reason to believe that light itself (including radiant heat and other radiations if any) is an electromagnetic disturbance in the form of waves propagated through the electromagnetic field according to electromagnetic laws.’
>>215500558>So no, unlike what you Einstein worshiping morons believe the speed of light isn't universally constant.It is though. It's a 45 degree angle.In relativity, time is a direction, so speed is an angle. Using c as the conversion factor between meters and seconds you get that the speed of light angle is 45 degrees.
measurement systems are occult and esoteric. There are very real reasons why the USA's power and economy is so much larger then metric users. But you all arent ready for the discussion about 12 and 10

The metric system was a french idea, therefore it is to be dismissed outright.I literally don't care how "hard" it is to convert between units. In my day-to-day life as a carpenter, I literally never have to do that. I take my measurements in inches and I leave them there. If I order gravel or dirt, I specify how many (cubic) yards, and move on with my life.Cooking is imprecise and subjective enough as it is that I don't need to be exact -- you can just intuit how much is right.Sometimes I bake bread. I don't measure shit. The feel of the dough tells me everything I need to know about how much flour or water or whatever to add. What kind of world are you fags living in where you need a precise recipe for everything beforehand?Metric has its place in the laboratory and nowhere else.

>>215499059Because 60 based time was invented by babylonians, so changing it would be antisemitic

>>215498517>At least an inch or a feet are body parts you always have reference tonot really.. when you're a kid and have to learn these measures you can't apply your thumbs, fingers or feets because they're significantly smaller in comparison to adultsalso women are smaller so the body part argument is dumb as hellI do understand the fat lazy argument of americans having used their dumb system for so many years it would be a hazard to change it. They could've done it in the 1930s, but now there's too much stuff done with it.Also, there's another argument for the elite, they was dumb idiots and the american system makes measurement too complicated which creates a bunch of fools, a herd of sheeps easier to handle
