Bicycle is fine because it's an everyday object I can visualise, but what the hell am I supposed to do with 800 burgers?

According to google, a deer has a height between 0.85 to 1.5 metres. According to the Texas Almanac, the Lone Star State extends 801 straight-line miles (from north to south). This equates to 1289084,54 metres.

Taking this into account, a deer is between 0,00000066 and 0,0000012 Texas.

I hope this helps.

Are we talking 1/4lb, 1/3lb, or 1/2lb? Then are we talking single, double, triple? Hamburgers as a unit of measurement is a horrible idea.

What's the convention rate from hamburger to American frie's?

Hamburger units feel appropriate for things that can be hamburgers.

That's how you know that Americans hate even their own imperial system. As an American myself, I gotta ask, is it the weight of a Cheeseburger or the Big Mac?

So you're telling me that deer are made out of hamburgers and bicycles?

I want this on a T-shirt.

1 centiyard is about equal to 1 centimeter

1 miliyard is 3 milifeet

1 kiloyard is 3 kilofeet

It would be the same as the metic system having something like a "hand"

That if you wanted to express 1/3 of a meter you could just call it 1 hand. 2/3 meter would be 2 hands.

If you were using this metric system and knew that something had to be two hands long. You'd simply call it 2 hands instead of .66 meters or 66 centimeters.

If something had to be 2.5 hands long it would be .825 meters or 82.5 centimeters

Meter and yard are both random established lengths. Using miliyards or millimeters is exactly the same.

US customary units just have smaller unit names you can call them if it is convenient. If you never wanted to use anything but yards like the metric system does meters, it's possible. Don't want to use miles? Then megayards.

I do think 1 simple system that everyone uses is needed and the metric system is simple.

But if stupid Americans can use the "difficult" system, it can't be too hard.

Fun facts:

1 Mile Per Hour ≈ 2.511 Bananas Per Second

1 Kilometer Per Hour ≈ 1.561 Bananas Per Second

Calculated with the assistance of http://bananaforscale.info/

I'm willing to defend the use of US Customary.

Come at me, bitches.

I once saw a tsunami tidal wave height described in refrigerators tall. Something like it could reach the height of 2.5 refrigerators.

How do Americans find out how big a bicycle is?

That's a ridiculous way to weigh a deer. There is plenty of parts you don't eat and a hamburger is more that a piece of meat.

Of course then when you ask how tall a bicycle is they'll tell you it's about as tall as a deer. Damn useless
