Metric system = best system

If you disagree, please state why.

And i'm talking about metres and crap, not celcius and fahrenheit.

Agree, there is cold scientific logic behind it instead of some random rubbish that was arbitrarily made up 300 years ago.

I don't like to have to describe the temperature in fractions of a degree

[Zero]

Yeah, I agree.

it's not arbitrary, just dated

[Abisha]

ah you know Metric system only one exist today right?.

Then don’t?

There's a great joke that I love to tell: "If God had meant for us to use the Metric system, Jesus would have had 10 apostles instead of 12!"
Edit for those who don't know Imperial and don't get the joke: Metric works in 10s; in Imperial, 12 inches equals 1 foot.

In all fairness, though, while I definitely see the merits of the metric system for measurement, I would argue that Fahrenheit is far better for general weather/temperature needs. In a scientific sense, I can understand 0 = freezing and 100 = boiling, but anything over 60c is way too hot, and temps very often get below freezing.
In Fareinheit, 0 = You're probably going to die of hypothermia, and 100 = Be careful not to die from heatstroke. And for body temperature, 97-98 is normal, 99 is feverish, 100 is fever, 101 is a worse fever, etc. I feel like it's a good, all-around kind of temperature measurement.

To British/Australian/New Zealand/Japanese people:
We Americans will learn to use the metric system like the rest of the world when you all figure out how to drive on the right side of the road like the rest of the world.
And British people specifically, when you finally get rid of "stone" as a weight measurement. I want to know how much X weighs, not about your rock collection! ;^)

[Bergman]

Agree. Metric system for life.

i 100% agree

[HypersleepyNaputunia]

i give metric a 10/10
I give imperial a 12/12

[Glass Mother]

It is.

You know it's funny I prefer metric to measure distances and volumes but when we're talking measurements of height/length of some objects I prefer inches/feet (When needed).

Also I find it easier to understand land size measured in acres over hectares, like I know 2 hectares is fairly big but can't really picture/visualise it but if you say 4.9 acres I can visualise that.

I think both units have their uses tbh, imperial is good for when you're working with exhaust systems and etc.

I mean we still measure rim sizes in inches but than revert to metric measurements for the rest iirc.

It might be the best system but America doesn't use it. I actually don't blame us for not using it, but it is good as far as it goes.

Personally inches, feet and yards all make more sense. So do miles.

That's probably because I'm American, though.

I take it history of SI isnt taught in schools as im pretty sure the Egyptians felt the same way about their use of math in gauging things as would have those long after before international commerce made it necessary to produce conformity which is the only reason its necessary to exist.
