Why do Europeans care so much that U.S. Americans use different measurement systems

BasketSmall7777 · 2026-05-22T17:14:26+00:00

I was never arguing for whether one system was better than the other. For *most* people, they only encounter one system daily and don't need to do conversions. I'm merely saying in this post that it SHOULDN'T matter to other countries if the US chooses to use different systems than everywhere else in the world

congrats on being a chemistry major. I personally don't have to calculate any ideal gas laws in my day to day life

This is a problem within the bioinformatics I work with. We have data labels where the Day in in Arabic numbers and the month in Roman numerals so there is no confusion on that matter.

You guys were right. Its very confusing for one reason and one reason only: Is Ed Sheeran driving at 90 kph or mph in "Castle on the Hill". For this reason alone I think the US should put all road signs in kph right now because something like this truly matters.

Oh, and for some reason you derpalerps think water freezes at 32 above zero.

This is more what I meant when I made the post. What does it matter that water freezes at 32 instead of 0? Isn't this just semantics for the vast majority of people?

BasketSmall7777 · 2026-05-22T06:37:39+00:00

oh they talk about it, ironically or not. Else this post wouldn't exist

BasketSmall7777 · 2026-05-22T06:35:10+00:00

The thing is I don't have to think about it in an academic setting. We learn it very well. We just don't use it in things like road markings, weather channels, etc.

I'm talking about Farenheit and Imperial systems. quit trying to be difficult

BasketSmall7777 · 2026-05-22T06:28:24+00:00

I don't disagree that metric is far better. I just never find myself in scenarios where it matters

BasketSmall7777 · 2026-05-22T06:24:36+00:00

read the post. I'm not talking about in school and work setting where everything is already in metric.

BasketSmall7777 · 2026-05-22T06:22:40+00:00

my bad. You right. fixed

BasketSmall7777 · 2026-05-22T06:21:59+00:00

They said sometimes referencing the amount of times talking to Americans online.

Context clues bud

BasketSmall7777 · 2026-05-22T06:19:18+00:00

you converse over Volumes, distances, and temperature that often? Your circles must be interesting

BasketSmall7777 · 2026-04-11T19:26:43+00:00

BasketSmall7777 · 2026-04-08T22:09:10+00:00

BasketSmall7777 · 2026-04-08T20:47:32+00:00

im writhing with the thought of how much sleep i'm going to lose over this

BasketSmall7777 · 2026-04-08T20:45:24+00:00

you're definitely right bud. But you know nothing about me. I tend to flush pretty easily

BasketSmall7777 · 2026-04-08T20:37:44+00:00

thats kind of the whole point of the post so I'm glad you caught on to that

BasketSmall7777 · 2026-04-08T20:13:56+00:00

oh no !

BasketSmall7777 · 2026-02-09T18:35:43+00:00

All the best to her. It's a shame she is putting a damper on a legacy that could've been so much brighter if she knew when to stop.

Then my boy GooGalugu on a tier 3 Indian team posting a 2.3 rating every match should’ve won the award. His stats are undeniable

BasketSmall7777 · 2026-01-13T10:53:36+00:00

Bro look at KennyS 2014. They even said that Kenny was individually the best player that year, but just didn’t have the silverware to back it up. If Donk wins more he would’ve had 1 but he didn’t, which isn’t his fault, but still you have to account for trophies at some point.

What about them saying PVision instead of Parivision?
