These things*

Graduations

thats 1/16th of an inch you euro faglord, go make some scones or have a pot of tea mate, fucker

>>5169423
I mean in the sense that 1/10 a cm is called a millimeter. What is 1/16 an inched call?

I am sure you knew that though.

>>5169436
What are the imperial units of measurements in the quantum level?

>>5169445
microclaps

>>5169445
schroedinger's dick is both in/out of your asshole right this very second

>>5169416
well we could just measure things in thou

1000 thou =1 Inch

That is 62.5 thou

>>5169437
>What is 1/16 an inched call?
a sixteenth of an inch

>>5169457
Feels good.

>>5169459
What is the Ln of an inch?

>>5169458

They have already named 1000ths of an inch; they are called mils. Thickness of plastic sheeting may be measured that way in the US.

1 mile = 8 furlongs
1 furlong = 10 chains
1 chain = 22 yards
1 yard = 3 feet
1 foot = 12 inches
1 inch = 1000 thou
1 thou = 25.4 µm

*SI gh* (of relief)

Americans are this retarded.

>>5170372
its really not hard to remember.. the only ones who have trouble with this are euro trash.. why don;t you euro fags just go ahead and name all your people in logical numberaology. Mr A Mr B mr C Mr D.. ect

euros are so autistic its laugahble.. dont disturb muh circles!

>>5170395
>using a system that makes sense and is easier to use
>autistic

ah kay

centiinch
hexadeciinch if you're a complete faggot

>>5170419
you know what sci.. fuck it.. fuck the metric system im so tired of it. Lets just go off the inch standard. Kilo inch mecha inch deca inch and gigainch's then mili inch's and centi-inch's as well.. never subjugate to metric!!!

>>5170395

It is harder to remember than metric where you're just dealing with multiples of ten all the times and it's far harder to convert between the unit in your head.

>>5170395

you may have left the empire, but you just can't seem to shake off that imperial system. sucks to be you.

>>5170383

1. We didn't invent the damn system, we just use it, and there's too much cultural inertia to effect a proper changeover to metric at this point. At least we don't measure weight in "stone" like our cousins across the Pond.

2. No one uses anything but inches, feet, yards and miles. It's like dekameters or hectometers in metric - perfectly valid measures, but who actually uses them to describe things?

>>5170815
>cultural inertia
>implying there is such a thing

>>5170815
Well, I've seen road signs in California giving distances in miles AND km. So there are signs of progress.

>>5170815
>1. We didn't invent the damn system, we just use it, and there's too much cultural inertia to effect a proper changeover to metric at this point.

Except that everyone else managed that just fine, including the people who did invent the damn system.

>>5169475
So you've seen it?

>>5170372
>1 mile = 5280 feet
>1 yard = 3 feet
>1 foot = 12 inches
Fixed, nobody uses or even knows what those other units are.

I'm not saying it's not stupid, just that you're exaggerating the stupid.
