Or maybe we don't want to waste our time with unit coefficients, as seen with basic force calculations; and stupid fraction measurements, as seen with the inch. When will you Americucks accept that the metric system is the more efficient, and therefore more intelligent option.

>> No.9033713

ITT: Amerifags BTFO with their retarded system.
Why the fuck is your unit of mass the slug, literally defined as "the mass that is accelerated to a foot/second under a pound force"? And why don't you use it normally for weight measurements? Your system isn't even internally consistent.

Daily reminder that the imperial system is defined in terms of SI units.

metric isn't arbitrary, it's defined on the plank length and speed of light, kilo is in the process of being redefined on molar mass

>> No.9036469

>>9035322
Ehhh kinda
They began as arbitrary units, that we only fairly recently redefined in terms of universal constants
Either way metric is way more intuitive than imperial

>> No.9036538

It's still impossible to measure thirds in metric. This is why normal units are better for construction, you can actually cut accurate quarters, thirds, and sixths - none of that approximate metric garbage.

>>9036565
no, it's approximately 1.3333 meters, meaning you introduce uncertainty into your measurements every time you have to APPROXIMATE dividing 10 by 3.

Consider instead feet: If I want one third of a foot, I simply measure out 4 inches. It's unambiguous and it works.
