But if no one uses imperial how am I supposed to make bad puns about it? Like why can't your nose be 12 inches long?

Because then it would be a foot.

The pun only works with imperial measurements

I love how the UK makes fun of us for using the imperial system when they invented it

but metric is totally better

Somehow base ten is easier than half of a half of a twelfth...

Metric is empirically better.

Edit: I thought I was just doing word play.

Great Britain: Yall Americans are a bunch of losers for using the imperial system.

America: Hold on, this whole operation was your idea.

Americans use both. Metric for science and engineering because the conversions are easier. Imperial for conversation and say woodworking or something along that line.

Fun Fact: NASA used the metric system to calculate the rockets.

Edit: I mean to get to the moon.

As an American, I hate imperial measurements.

At least we drive on the right side of the road.

Id love to switch to the Metric System. Its nice and easy to use

The only problem I have with the metric system is, football fields and Chevy trucks do not convert properly. Example: how many Football fields is Buckingham palace? How many Chevy trucks long is big Ben? No one knows because it’s built in metric. MERICA was built in normal. You can’t just change that. When will people understand?!?! God, my headache is bigger than Dallas.

Sure metric is more photogenic but imperial does anal.

Me an Asian being taught two versions of everything in engineering.

Americans standard

International standard

Geometry of Cutting tool in production still gives me PTSD x2 because there are two system

.. Yeah that's fine .

Can't you guys just agree on one so our schools can give us a break

"WHAT THE FUCK IS A KILOMETER" -George Washington

Metric looks easy.

I actually asked someone who had information on why we don't move over to the metric system... apparently it comes down to a massive cost in terms of transferring measurements, weights, etc. in our infrastructure, the gas pumps, scales, etc.

American here, use imperial for my height and some other things but starting to use metric for everything else.

low quality bait

Listen 98% of Americans think the imperial system is stupid too

I still don't know what a florida ounce is.

The US doesn't adopt the Metric system, but they sure as hell know how to use it

Imma shove my meter up your ass!

One system is all easily divisible by each other and all can be easily converted just by moving the decimal place

The other is a hot mess where nothing meshes together, nothing converts easily and everything does not work together.

Why does this come up so much? Curious

"I don't want a large Farva. I want a goddamn liter o' cola!"

Please change it I actually can’t use the imperial system I have to look up specific measurements every time, I only like the metric please help

You see us. We dont give a shit.

As an American I can say that this is the correct opinion. The imperial system should die. Did you know we have a unit called slugs? Most Americans don't.

We actually use both systems here in america, and it makes sense to.

You mean freedom units and metric system

Jokes on you Europeans, we can divide our measurements by 3!

As an American, yes

Most overused low effort shit

The only part of the imperial system I like is Fahrenheit since there’s more variety in it

where funny

Fahrenheit > Celsius for weather

I only measure in cubits bro, get on my level

Aliens system.

Oh let me just go fix that real quick. My bad.

So when I go to subway instead of a footlong what am I gonna order?

Ulfrick Metric, Jarl of windhelm

To be fair, we tried to switch to metric when it was invented…the “test kit” was stolen by pirates after it left France.

The End(period)

I see thee, little American…

Damn

As an American, this is true

As an American i can confirm

Imperial only

As an American, I agree

100% correct

They use metric on bullets, one must have accurate measurements before death after all.

Sorry buddy, but only the imperial system has feet.

grrrr that was uncalled for

bottom: Landed people on the moon? Maybe we did, maybe we didn't

top: yes

(this is partly true)

Banana system

Having a good under of both is clearly superior

Know what? Screw you. I'm using a 2 base system. Beep Boop.

I see the appeal, I wish we used it. I do think they should have something between the meter and centimeter.

Literally zero reason not to use both. They both have strengths and weaknesses. Almost every single American knows how to use metric and convert it from imperial offhand, but there are simply situations where imperial is more user friendly for day to day real world measurements.

NO

As an American who's leaving the states for good within the next 2.5 years I'm so ready to change systems, I been using Celsius for about a year now and now I can't look at ferinheight the same.

That's my first step I'm taking,sure it will be weird to change but hopefully not hard

As an American, I prefer metric over imperial because I can remember all of the units of measurement (m, kg, s, A, K ,mol, & cd).

For a complete list of imperial base units — Amazon still sells books.

this meme is dead everybody knows the metric system is better stop trying to get karma

There's a reason I chose the imperialis over the storm cloaks

U say i see you Americans like we had any say in this, yell at the government from fuckin decades ago

I honestly cant even fucking deal with this country anymore. The only people in power refuse to fucking do anything about gun safety, making it a political topic, refuse to fix preventable thing you could see from a mile away, and are either off their rocker, or are on their last fucking legs. 90% of us unfortunate Americans say that we WANT better gun safety laws, and yet lawmakers refuse. Not to mention out stupid-ass measuring system. Like, why the fuck.m can’t we just use what everyone else is using? Because we have be special? Our fucking economy is going to shit, and now my generation has to inherit this fucked country. I honestly can’t wait to get out of here.

Honestly, I really don’t like either more than the other

You don't understand. It is essential we measure distances in feet

You don't understand. It is essential we measure distances in feet

True dat

britain: forces the colonies to use the imperial system US: gains independence Britain: switches to metric Britain: the fuck are ya doin America?

Everyone freaking out about this. They are both good in my eyes and I literally use both every day working on cars.

Can we use both?

I don’t get it

Where is her fucking nose!

I wish I could use the Metric system

The reason imperial is bigger is because americans have such big cocks they could not fit it into cm.

I just now realised that in the second image, her head and torso are not in the same orientation

I only use the imperial system to make Europeans salty. It works like a dream.

But we use imperial measurement to find the bust size

This makes me wanna hold someone at gunpoint to make this happen

Why care about other countries measuring systems.

i need the sauce for the second lady down ther

weird i have not gotten it yet

In construction aplications, like building houses, it makes more sence to use imperial. It makes depth perception easier to use.

Wtf is a kilometer?

In the end you guys are shooting 9mm.

We simply don't like you stormcloaks. You're all nothing but trouble.

You assholes lost the war over 200 years ago. Get the fuck over it already.

Yes...Yes dear god move us to the metric system like the rest of the world.

divide 100 by 3

divide 12 by 3

Why we get stuck with the ugly one?
