You can have the Fahrenheit temperature scale when you peel it from my cold, dead hands. Metric is great for measuring size and weight and I suppose distance (though miles sounds so much nicer than kilometers), but the Celsius scale is too short until you get into really high temperatures.
0 as freezing isn’t bad, but boiling at 100 feels wrong. It’s not enough of a difference.
Fahrenheit’s number values may be a little wonky and arbitrary seeming but it gives a better sense of scale.
Sad but true, Americans will only do the right thing if they get some benefit, if you give them money. Trump is just the embodiment of everything American. That’s why some Americans love him, some hate him.
It’s true, not all americans and it is not uniquely american thing. But it is a predominant american thing in general and nobody expect different behaviour. Just like “americans are good basketball players”. Not all, not uniqiely but when america (USA) is playing you expect that they will win.
By the end of the year they are gonna adopt the metric system!
(Now which organisation needs to invent a fake medal to get that done?)
But space is so much cooler in the imperial system!
We’ve been through that.
Only one of these pictures is real, and only one system is used for space stuff in reality
ISO I believe
Or BIPM
Just need the ISO organization to give him some fake participation trophy and by God we can finally get rid of the stupid Fahrenheit and other shit

Like an amp that you can turn up to 11

Which is 99% due to you being used to that.
Third down and 3 meters to go!
Kicking a 20 meter field goal.
Perfect.

Hey hey. 1 - it’s not all americans. 2 - it is not a uniquely American thing. You don’t see many “poor” poloticians for a reason.

True, america draws that kind of person. So they come here from all over. And the system here is designed to help them.
