Do you put the year before the month? If not then it actually makes no sense, either go from longest to shortest or vice versa, anything else is nonsense.
>>
>>726634223
Here's why you're retarded. Saying the month first instantly conveys the most relevant information. "The 1st" means nothing and "2025" means nothing. But when you start with "January", you've immediately narrowed the date down to 31 specific days out of the year. It's objectively the most efficient method. Your adherence to sequential progression is arbitrary and has no actual logic behind it

I almost agree but I think you guys have it both ways so you end up being barely better than us.

As a Yuro, I think we should change to YYYY/MM/DD. Starting with the day is absolutely worthless.

Just think, if you do it this way, not only are you giving away information in the most efficient way, but you're also making it so that when you organize anything by dates (Cabinets or files on your computer), it's a million times more useful.

Yes it does, anon. That's the most relevant information right there.

>April...
This doesn't give me any context
>Third...
This didn't help one iota
>1948
Now I'm finally properly situated

Whereas if you start with 1948, you already dismissed 99% of human history. You already instantly know that it's a long ass time ago. You guys are better than us but you still have the same fundamental problem, and you add a small problem by having it switching in between dates within dates for the sake of having it be lower number to higher number most of the times. Still, I concede you guys are slightly better than us in this regard. But we both should be switching to year, month, day.

Americans use "US Customary" units. They're similar to British Imperial, but also very different. You don't see us weighing in "stone" or whatnot, for example.
The official measuring system in the US is the metric system. All official measurements are metric, all scientific measurements are metric, and every product is labeled with both.
US customary units are metricated, so even it is technically a metric system (e.g. the definition of 32F is 0C).
Many products bought in store are metrically sized and only roughly labeled in customary for small differences that don't matter.
Officially and in practice, the US is metric. We don't force anyone to use Customary — in fact quite the opposite. Meanwhile, the "metric" Britain literally has laws mandating the use of Imperial units.

The MM/DD format is how English is spoken. Romance languages operate in DD/MM instead. We say May Third, the French say Troisieme de Mai.

Customary units remain popular because they're easier for everyday use; metric is only better for scientific mathematical cases.
A foot is an easily manageable distance compared to a meter . It divides well and most worked objects are about that size. It can divide into halves, thirds, quarters easily, which makes working with it very simple.
Temperature has a greater variance. A single degree does not determine whether you need a sweater or not. 0 is fucking cold and 100 is fucking hot.

TL;DR: There's a double standard about Americans, as usual, and Customary units are actually superior for informal use.

Because Americans are like "we take whatever is first", while Europeans (and the Chinese for that matter) are "we take whichever ends up being the best after a while".

Example AI right now.
America is putting all their money into OpenAI because they simply were first... however even right now they are FAR from being the best, OpenAI is completely scatterbrained in their approach just burning money to find a winning formula while for instance Claude.ai by Anthropic is actually homing in with a laser focus to create models that work best for enterprise customers. While nobody is really making money, Claude is certainly less fucked here. But they don't get any of the attention. So the US may focus their attention on the wrong company.

This is why the US often gets an early lead which it then loses over time until they are completely overtaken, often by China. And then the US scrambles to find "The next big thing" to get an early lead over.

You started with a random easily divisible number rather than a whole unit, ignored any of the example equations I gave that didn't suit your narrative, and so ended up with a fractional amount which you cannot measure out accurately.
Just face it, customary is extremely easy to work with in everyday use and metric is only good for science and mathematics.

China has different problems. One of the reasons they lost the First Opium War so badly (and experienced much of the Century of Humilition, by extension) is because they kept misreporting the results of each battle as victories to the emperor, because lying to gain promotions was deemed more important than actually conveying essential information. The net result being that Beijing didn't know how fucked they were until it was too late. I don't know if this is a problem in modern China but it wouldn't surprise me if it was.

All this because we don't have to drive anywhere and can easily meet in the city. It's plain and simple. The idea that we'd have to avoid public transport or meet in some obscure town in the middle of nowhere is fucking retarded and there's no reason to settle for that.

I'm perfectly fine with sending every single one back to their shitholes but even if you did that whites still wouldn't want to live in cities. No self respecting white man would want to live in a filthy, crowded, city when he could buy 30 acres for himself out in the country/suburbs and build a palace on it to hold all his guns.

No, they wouldn't. American whites are not like the compliant goycattle that stayed in yurop and love to suck the dicks of their masters in Brussels and Berlin. No one here would accept living in pods and eating bugs for the sake of muh global warming like you passive, pussies, do. No one here will accept a government, local or otherwise, trying to take their guns or tax their property and income at 50+%.

The US urbanised rapidly and was ahead of most European countries on that front. That was at a time when the US were 90% White.
The reality is that US Whites lost their cities to non-Whites, retreated to soulless suburbs and tier 3 small towns and then (and only then) made up those extravagant cope scenarios in their minds according to which cities are the great dens of Satan.

Americans used to live in cities perfectly fine like anyone else but ruined them with extreme leniency for antisocials, then they turn around and pretend like that's the fault of the city and that nobody would ever want to live in a place that has anything mankind can create. I live in stockholm and american travel bloggers freak the fuck out over how clean and quiet the city is. Like, to exemplify the decadence and foolishness of american city planning, in any city in the world the center is always prettiest, most valuable, with the most services, shops, cultural institutions, valuable offices, fanciest apartments etc. Aside from cultural value, it's just prime real estate. What do americans do? They put the ghettoes INSIDE the city so all the antisocials have direct access, rather than on the outskirts like european cities. That's just absolutely stupid. If americans solved their antisocial crime problem and also didn't do shit like fill entire city blocks with parking lots, you would have perfectly fine cities just like anyone else.

When something its good its adopted worldwide, like football, its good thus it was adopted worldwide. American football however isn't good, so only americans play it. Sure there's some teams scattered around some other countries by its an obscure scene and no one knows anything about it.
Its the same with measurement units, metric its so good even American organizations adopted it, Nasa adopted it, ammunition industries adopted it. Pharmaceutical organizations adopted it, technological organizations adopted it, etc. The only reason for any organization to use imperial units its for backwards compatibility with USA and that's about it.

>>726672629
In Italy, vendetta (from Latin vindicta, “revenge” or “claiming justice”) has deep historical roots and strong cultural symbolism, especially in the south. It does not simply mean “revenge,” but represents a whole system of honor, family loyalty, social order, and extrajudicial justice.

Below is a clear breakdown of its historical meaning:

Historical Meaning of Vendetta
1. Pre-modern justice system gaps

In medieval and early modern Italy—especially in rural areas—state institutions often lacked the ability to enforce justice effectively.
Families or clans therefore took justice into their own hands.
Vendetta functioned as an alternative justice system, regulated by community norms.

2. Family and clan-based societies

In regions like Sicily, Sardinia, Calabria, and Corsica (historically connected to Italy), extended families—clan or cosche—held more power than formal law.
When a wrong was committed (murder, theft, insult, etc.), a family was expected to respond to restore balance and honor.

3. Honor culture

Honor (onore) was central.
If a family didn’t avenge an offense, they risked public shame and loss of social standing.
Thus, vendetta was seen as a duty, not just an emotion.

4. Cycles of retaliation

Vendettas often became intergenerational feuds, lasting decades or even centuries.
Examples include:

The Barbaricino vendettas in Sardinia

Sicilian feuds tied to early Mafia structures

Corsican vendettas (so influential that Napoleon tried to suppress them)

The pattern: offense revenge counter-revenge ongoing feud.

1) something that's not exclusive to Italy, most agrarian societies were patriarchal like this
2) it's just one kind of revenge, the word could carry that connotation but it does not necessarily carry that connotation, and nowadays it never carries that connotation

Even more amusingly outside of some very small measurements while in construction giving sizes in "old money" is common internally every company operates on metric. As in, the invoice for that timber will list it as 25x50mm.

The metric system uses Avogadro's number, which isn't an integral power of ten, to standardise large quantities.

do american's even use their guns for ORGANIZED resistence or is it just rhetoric and praying for another killdozer as some spectacle?

like canada is in number 15.5% for houshold firearm ownership and finland has up to 37%

I hear this cope a lot, but americans would refuse to use celsius even if it was 0-200 scale

MM/DD is inconsistent and there is nothing wrong with saying 4th of July, 5th of November etc

Grams and kilos are much more handy and precise than ounces, cups, fluid ounces as well and also translate better into volume e.g. 1 kilo ~ 1 liter water

You also do the classic "i'm just gonna talk about the good things" and ignore the things it doesn't do well, like yards not dividing by 10, 5 or 2 neatly.

If any of the things you say are superior or popular about the Customary units, why haven't they spread anywhere else in the world?

tl;dr everyone prefers the units they grew up with and refuse to change
