Imperial is only better in fiction? Noted.

Metric is for people who need to count in their fingers

You know what's ruled by the imperial system?

British colonies...

AHHAHAAHAH

[–] • 3 pts

Yes, because the British conquered the ENTIRE WORLD with imperial while France lost everything once they switched to metric.

And the Brits ditched thier own system anyway. When they go down to the pub for a Pint it could be anything from 473ml to 570ml, WTF kind of system is that? https://www.google.com/search?q=ml+in+1+pint&oq=ml+in+1+pint&aqs=chrome..69i57j6.8932j0j15&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF

Wherever the Imperial measuring system predominates, everyone still has to know the Metric system. Where the Metric system is adopted, no one needs Imperial.

Perfect because all these imperialists have 12 fingers and an extra chromosome

We use our two dicks. Metric is for people with no dicks.

No LGBTQIA

There is all that. Entire worlds succumb to their cults and then get feasted upon by demons. Imagine if all the Alex Jones memes were real but barely scratching the surface.

Don't have enough time or money for that, much less patience to paint

The Death Star was built using the Imperial system, of course.

Better when you need quick dirty estimates of proportions.

Did they really? I am new to WH40K and I haven't seen much of the woke/commie/jew shit from them.

AMERICANS ARE LITERALLY RULED BY THE BRITISH IMPERIAL SYSTEM

LET THAT SINK IN

One of mankind's greatest mistakes was the metric system.

We would have been far better off sticking to Imperial. Despite Imperial not matching the way we speak and write numbers, it is mathematically the better system. But despite being the mathematically superior system, it is more difficult for the lesser races to use because it doesn't match the way numbers are spoken and written (or match the amount of fingers).

The main reason the metric system was implemented was so the lesser races could participate more in the global economy. In hindsight we know that we would have been far better off if we wouldn't have allowed that.

We'd be far better off if we would have stuck to the mathematically superior system, focused solely on our advancement, and didn't try to help the lesser races.

Typical Afro'murica whigger wisdom. If you put your head from your ass, you will realize why is metric system much more practical. Do you know that every serious engineer, scientist... even 3D artist use metric system as much more practical? One thing is your emotional stance, but shitting such retarded bullshit from "science' side is one more prove that you Afro'murica wiggers to much breed with niggers. Obvious decline in mental capability.

Answer this question -

Why doesn't every serious engineer, scientist... even 3D artist use metric angles?

That's an honest question. Don't get emotional when answering it. Answer it honestly, truthfully, and factually without emotion.

When you figure out the answer you'll see why in my country, a metric country, we use Celsius for temperature, but use feet and inches for carpentry. And 360 degrees for a circle.

Also, when you figure out the answer, you'll understand why base 10 is mathematically a horrible numbering system, and you'll use Imperial for engineering and design every chance you get.

Also, attacking the messenger is just proving me right. So thanks for that.

Edit - And to address why engineering, science, 3d artists, etc use metric - It's because of what I said in my original comment. It's because we "accommodate" the lesser races. We ourselves use an inferior numbering system in order for the lesser races to be able to participate in our economies. And, like I said before, we would be far more advanced if we hadn't done that and we used numbering systems that were mathematically superior regardless of whether or not the lesser races could use them too.

Obviously you never deal with real stuff, more complex than carpentry. My personal experience is with 3D. Some dudes ask me to make models for 3D printing, but they insist on Imperial. This simply don't work. When you deal with tinny stuff you get some insane numbers. Luckily after I send them some article about this matter, they .... accept facts. btw. all articles are from countries which still use imperial ( mostly from Afro'murica ). Although they continue to nagging, how world is unfair and such bullshit. And for me is much easier to manipulate with numbers like 35.57 than 0.0234456557 or such shit.

This is the best thing I've seen all day.

The imperial system was used to design all of the spacecraft in the apollo program. Also engineers know how to convert. Their slide rules and their precision instruments and guage blocks were all in imperial units in the 1960s.

Fuck metric vs. imperial units. How about just a fucking standard one that everyone uses? These are units of measure we're talking about, not cultural preferences. Fuck, I sure have been using the fuck word a lot more lately.

Fuck the imperial system then. I don't want warp demons to eat my soul and slaughter whole worlds just to upset more souls so they can feed on humanity more.

Correct. And I don't appreciate when they do it either.

This is the gay soyboy shit they "argue about" on reddit. If you came to say why one system of measure is superior to another FUCK OFF and GO BACK TO REDDIT!!
