A few inches is still a couple of centimeters.

I wish altbot had a sibling, unitbot maybe?
So when a barbarian informs that: "I caught a fish 3.5 lengths-of-a-bodypart long!11", then civilized people could ask the bot to please translate. 🙂
Many posts here start good, but then gets weird with units (and I'm sure it works both ways). The post is not quite interesting enough to start actively wondering how to perform the conversion by myself, and so the mild interest turns into mild frustration.

My form of #protest against the #trump #regime is to adopt the #metricsystem. Screw him and his convoluted ass #imperialsystem. (sips from my 355 ml can of Spindrift) ✊

Good morning. 🌿🌿🌿
21 December 2024
I got up early this morning, thanks once again to Ben; so, I made coffee and let the dogs out - in case you were wondering who. Now I'm up struggling while Ben and Charlie are fast asleep.
It is bundle up weather where I live in Louisiana (34° F or 1° C) which translates to shirt sleeve weather in Minnesota. Do you know what is weird? It is not surprising that the United States adopted the Imperial System of measurement along with the British Empire (British Weights and Measures Act of 1824), what is surprising is that after the rest of the world moved on to the metric system, the United States did not - change is difficult in the United States of America.
'Thus, the metric system did not really catch on in the States, unless you count the increasing popularity of the nine-millimeter bullet.' - Dave Barry

A question to people who grew up with the #ImperialSystem, and don't use the #MetricSystem very often:
When hear a person is 1.90m tall, I mentally process that in one go.
How do you folks mentally handle the equivalent "6 feet 3 inches" in your brains?
Does it "automagically" get mapped into a single height figure, without you even noticing it's values on two different scales, added up? Or do you mentally stack the inches on top of the feet?
Assuming you were 5 feet 2 inches tall, and could not see the 6 feet 3 inches person: how does your brain "compute" and "visualize" the difference?

Murica! We'll use "DICKS" as a measurement before we go metric. 🇺🇸😂 #Merica #ImperialSystem #FreedomUnits #Based

What's all this then?
"...the liquid and dry pint in Britain both equal 0.568 cubic decimetre, while the U.S. liquid pint is 0.473 cubic decimetre, and the U.S. dry pint is 0.551 cubic decimetre."
Perfectly sane way of defining volumes?

Few things vex me more than the use of the #fractions and the #ImperialSystem. And I get pommeled daily by the 350M fellow #Americans who, for some unfathomable reason, adore this nonsense.🤦♂️

Dear Europe. We love standards, like to make jokes about the imperial system and, well everything else that is used in the US.
But there is one thing that sucks. shoe and clothing sizes. Just what the fuck is this? How can I have a "44" with this brand of shoe and "40" with another one? Could you please fix this, oh my lovely europe?

@MeanwhileinCanada
The only thing worse than the #ImperialSystem is an Imperial / #MetricSystem hybrid (just as confusing, and even less internally consistent).I love #Canadians. You're truly some of the kindest folks out there. But this nonsense is a crime against humanity.

Canadian friends, you use all kinds of units. Are you able to convert all of them or is the weight of a human a total different scale to you than a horse or a pack if flour? #units #imperialSystem #SIUnits
