Strange Planet by Nathan W. Pyle

Buddy. Take the L. You know how there's the popular saying: if you think everyone else is an arsehole, it's probably you. The anology here being you think everyone is else is blind, when it's you.

No one is suggesting not to use base 8 and 16 in computing because those are appropriate for thei use-cases.

If the imperial system was internally consistent it would be just as great as metric. A fully dozenal system would be dope! So many fractions (for real, that'd be sick. Microfeet, 1/(12⁶) of an ft, or 10-⁶ ft in base 12, sign me up. Take a ft³ relate that to a unit of volume and mass via water..... Wait this is just metric but base 12). But it isn't, So take the L.

Metric is objectively (removing things that are just preference) better or the same in every, single, way. It's entertaining for you to try find examples, so please, continue.

"In metric, one milliliter of water occupies one cubic centimeter, weighs one gram, and requires one calorie of energy to heat up by one degree centigrade—which is 1 percent of the difference between its freezing point and its boiling point. An amount of hydrogen weighing the same amount has exactly one mole of atoms in it. Whereas in the American system, the answer to ‘How much energy does it take to boil a room-temperature gallon of water?’ is ‘Go fuck yourself,’ because you can’t directly relate any of those quantities."
