All the haten on other cultures inspired me to put up this video. I don't know how to make the video appear. If you can't laugh then you must be a really angry human.

Predictable answer. you guys really gotta stop having all these wars and invest more in your education system.

I'm American and I use crappy metrics as well as terrible "Imperial" so die.

Because it makes sense, and people don't like things that make sense.

Rounding? That doesn't sound very "metric", to me.

Apparently there was ment to be a metric clock but never caught on.

They could just call it a Royale (with cheese).

But then that violates Republicanism. A Democrale, perhaps? Republicale? Libertale? Washingtale?

Pretty much this, except I've always used kilograms for weight.

175 centimetres just doesn't have the same ring as "5 foot 8". "Mile" is a lot easier to say than "kilometer".

But if you're doing a scientific calculation, I just have no idea how you can do that with inches and pounds. The equations don't even work unless you use SI units! How do you figure out density? Multiply the mass by 2.2 and then divide it by the volume over 2.54^3? Or I suppose you could use pounds per cubic inch, but that just sounds horribly wrong.

Actually that is pretty close to a quarter kilo burger,  That burger is a Double Quarter Pounder w/cheese,  the 2 patties  add up to about 230 grams.

Wouldn't a double quarter pounder be a half ponder?

Anyway, in that case 250g would be standard. So you can get a half kilo too.

But really, the metric system is much easier and makes much more sense than the imperial one, but I also understand that those that are used to something don't wanna change it, so my attitude towards this issue is officially "whatever".
