but you don't have to
it's pragmatic
you just have a scoop for a tea spoon, one for a table spoon, and one for a cup.

stuff you add in tsp amounts isn't the stuff you add in tbsp amounts and tbsp stuff is only occasionally what you add in cup amounts.

Do Europeons really still use standard time?

[Anonymous No.11902515]

it seems really convoluted on paper, but in practice it's not all that complicated. and most of the time, any imperial measuring vessel will have metric equivalents as well so there is no actual math to be done. also see pic related is how i remember

Fun Fact: The USA passed a congressional act under Jimmy Carter that mandated the metric system as the standard US system. But after a massive public outcry that "changing our math" is the equivalent of racism towards blacks, the US repealed the act and went back to traditional measurements.

Math is racist. This has been proven over and over again. Why else would asians, who learn calculus in high school, dominate math while 'Merican niggers can't even do basic algebra?

Racism. That's the only explanation.

>more intelligent!
I can't believe there are suckers who seriously believe this.
There's nothing intelligent going on in the metric system.

Metric tied unit standards to absolutely irrelevant shit like "mass equal to one cubic centimeter of water at maximum density" (almost)
What use is the gram then? In the metric psuedo-intellectual attempt to arbitrate a hard standard they created something completely useless.
OH BOY this recipe calls for 28.3 grams of yogurt. What an I N T E L L I G E N T unit of measurement.
>"Consider" the metricuck says to me "how easy conversions are in the metric system! 1000 grams is 1 kilogram."
>"By adding a prefix, you can simply move the decimal over. It's genius and so much more scientific."
Science you say? You mean where I might write papers and work complex engineering calculations? Certainly I would opt for fool-proof scientific notation such as 1.5778E9 inches. I won't waste time doing elementary school conversions and changing prefixes.

Imperial measurement system uses units of measurement that came about from experience with everyday human applications. A cup itself is a practical of value and unit for cooking. A mile is a practical unit of distance for everyday travel, walking or riding or driving. (Think of how easy time and distance is to track for a journeying layman with miles, where a mile is typically walked in 20 minutes and for a land-bound almost 6 foot tall person, the horizon is 3 miles away. For a metricuck, it's 4.82803 kilometers, and they can walk a kilometer in ~12 and a half minutes)

But ooooh nooooo. Eurocucks bought into the idea that fractions are bad and claim their system is more intelligent.

What if we just keep blacks on the Imperial system while everyone else moves to metric? That would be "fair" to blacks then right?

[Anonymous No.11903042]

base 16 is objectively the better way to make measurements, it can be divided evenly 4 times before you start working in halves
base 10 like you dummys use can only be split once before you start working in halves

you idiots are so reliant on counting on your fingers that you can't comprehend how much more sense our system makes
There's literally no arguing this fact

It really unnerves me that they have trouble with simple fractions. There's only a few measurements to learn. They'd have to be really retarded. Either that or they're like the boomers and scream I don't want to learn when you give them the most basic task.

Are they aware that a lot of skilled Americans (cooks, programmers, engineers, carpenters, construction workers, etc.) can use both systems, doing conversions without a calculator?
