Ehhh I know my metic system!!! Check this out.
Kg is 2.2 lbs a good roundish number.
Cm is almost half an inch.
Km is just over half a mile
Celsius kinda throws me but I know 36c to 37c is body temp and 0 is the freezing point of water, and 100 is the boiling point of water. Sooooo I can guesstimate from there.
See there rest of the world. Your metric system doesn’t scare me!!
A-size paper!
Decimilization legit sucks though. We should just move everything to base 12, and standardize imperial measures to base 12.
Imperial is trash but, listen, Fahrenheit is the superior system for describing weather on Earth and I will die on this hill. 0 is very cold, 100 is very hot. Below or above either, respectively, is a very bad time.
Celsius is obviously superior for basically any other measurement of temperature, of course.
In C, 0 is cold, 10 is mild, 20 is comfy, 30 is hot (european climate). And sure, Farenheit is more granular. But you can't actually measure down to the Farenheit (say in weather forecasts, but even in a thermometer it's iffy), so that granularity is useless (and in fact adds noise). Also, having "negative numbers might freeze" is really convenient for weather.
I can happily confirm the granularity is not useless. I can definitely tell when my house is 73 and when it is 74. And I live where it is very hot. There is a very noticeable difference between like 89 and 91. The actual degrees of difference are pretty useful. The vast majority of terrestial weather also fits nicely into this very simple 0-100 typical range, and you can still easily summarize by describing weather in the 50's or the 80's, for example. It's just better imo.
