There are two types of countries: those which use the metric system, and those that lose wars to Vietnamese farmers.

In high school, my chemistry teacher made us learn the metric system and we used it all year. I forgot everything ... but it was easier. Our country is weird.

Yeah all the over the world, they should have three things in common:
1. Drive on the same side of the road
2. Use the same system of measurement (Metric System)
3. Use the same kind of wall socket for connecting electrical appliances..
That would make the world way much easier place to travel and live...

The American military uses metric. And for a country that fought for freedom from the British Empire it's strange for them to still use the Imperial system.

1mm
10mm = 1cm
10cm = 1dm (decimeter; never gets really used)
100cm/10dm = 1m
1000m = 1km

which makes 1km = 1000m = 10.000dm = 100.000cm = 1.000.000mm

1g
10g = 1dag(decagram)
1000g/100dag = 1kg
1000kg = 1 ton
which makes a ton = 1000kg = 10.000dag = 1.000.000g

Water at 1atm freezes at 0°C and
Boils at 100°C

easy

Lol even the British switched and they're the ones who started the imperial system XD

They're calling rugby; football.. You think they're gonna change to Metric?

When someone traveled to US, they expect that someone to speak their way. When they travel to anywhere else in the world, they expect everyone speak their way too.
Really... please use metric.

When Cate Blanchett says switch, you switch America

not gonna lie but the metric system is really easy, also i'd say its more precise

"We elected Trump. Do you think we're gonna change to metric?" Well, he has a point :))

Fun Fact: The top scientists back then actually calculated everything in metric and then converted their work over.
No american rocket would've ever lifted off without the use of the metric system :-D

I wanna sleep in a bed made of Cate Blanchett's voice.

I don't know miles or inches, everybody uses centimeters and km around the world.

The funny thing is that americans are measuring distancies in imperial units, but wavelengths are measured in nanometers too because their system can't do it... :DDD
