Fuck I wish imperial would just disappear. Metric is 100% better in every single way, bar none.

Imperial unit ratios tend to have a greater number of smaller factors, which makes fractions nicer. 1yd/3 = 1ft. 1ft/3 = 4in.
There’s nothing nice or consistent about those fractions. A third of one is one of the other, but a third of that is four of the other? Imperial units don’t convert in any meaningful or logical way, you have to memorise the conversions. With the metric system, it’s all tens.
And the fact that there are no usable units smaller than an inch and you have to use fractions should drive any craftsperson up the wall.
It’s a bit weird that the US uses a measurement that was created in the time where people used their body parts for measurement.
Like, the inch is around the size of a thumb, and a foot could be bigger or smaller depending of who measured.
Still, it’s still used as a measurement that only a small fraction of the world still uses.

Wdym?
What’s so weird about my new monitor which is 7 penis in size?
