Mfs don't realize we already fuckin use metric for all kinds of shit.
I bet the dang Nasa doesn't measure their rockets by the barley corn.
Fun probably-already-known fact: NASA accidentally destroyed a $200 million Mars orbiter from of a missed imperial->metric conversion, because NASA does generally work in metric, and some Lockheed-Martin software provided numbers in imperial (while claiming to be metric)
