So Americans reject logic because... feelings?

Get with the program, every other country historically used different ways of measuring things and eventually managed to make the switch.

Yup and that it wouldn't be that useful for most people. It'd be a huge pain in the ass to reeducate the country too. Fools are proud. As long as the can buy milk they don't care if it's in liters or gallons.

I try to try to remember the conversions, but it's tricky and tedious. Iirc a mile is about 2.2 kilometers. A foot is shockingly close to 1/3 of a meter. 28°C is 82°F.

I don't care for the imperial system, I'm just forced to use it. Empires are bad in all forms.

So I was going to say that Fahrenheit has a better range of numbers to know when going from 68 is comfy to 70 is too warm, but 20c to 21c is basically exactly the same. Fuck your logic though, -50f is colder than -50c and that's all I care about.
