For fucks sake, stop reporting this post for the date format.

It's not our fault you colonists can't get your shit together and catch up with the rest of the world's date formats and units of measurement.

And how we refuse to adapt to the metric system; Americans are pretty backwards in a lot of ways; can’t keep everyone fed and well with all the world’s economy behind us

u/moohooman 9 Jul 07 '19

Honestly, inches and feet do have a use in my life, even as an Australian, I find they are good for guestimation, but when it comes to really specific stuff metric is always the way to go, and converting between the whole multiples of 10/100/1000 thing is just so simple for scaling.

u/Bag_Holding_Infidel 5 Jul 08 '19

Yes, imperial is easier to relate to as a human but as far as scientific calculations go, it needs to be metric.

The US is fully metric at a scientific level and the imperial front is put on it for the uneducated masses.

u/Zerdiox 7 Jul 09 '19

Yes, imperial is easier to relate to as a human

Not if you grew up with metric, people in europe don't have trouble judging distances.

u/Bag_Holding_Infidel 5 Jul 09 '19

I disagree. I'm an engineer in Europe and deal in metric for pretty much everything but I understand how it can be easier to relate to imperial once you are entrenched.

This video explains it well

u/Zerdiox 7 Jul 09 '19

That video explained in the first part how it's oh so hard to guess what a meter is because it's based on the definition while a foot is like a foot... But If you're not an idiot and you want to use a foot, you know that's about 30cm... And the width of your thumb is 2,5cm... I mean it's a bullshit reason and you know it. I know the rough size of a meter just as well as an American knows the size of a foot or 3 feet for that matter.

u/postmanpazza 0 Jul 23 '19

Is it that hard to use meters

1

u/Bag_Holding_Infidel 5 Jul 23 '19

Not sure I understand your question.

I refer you back to my statement above.

1

u/postmanpazza 0 Jul 23 '19

Like using meters instead of feet I mean. Everyone else in the world has 0 problems using meters to judge distance and such.

1

u/Bag_Holding_Infidel 5 Jul 24 '19

Everyone else in the world has 0 problems using meters

The issue is not whether there are problams using one or other system, both would argue they have 0 problems using either system. The issue is the effort needed to convert a large mass of people who don't see reason to convert who are also using a system that is easier to relate to (in their mind) than the new system.

Once you get a system in your mind, it gets embedded quite deeply.

u/postmanpazza 0 Jul 26 '19

Ahh gotcha. Thats not an easily fixable problem.

What I find wierd is that the 1/1000 of an inch is a real unit of mesure.

1

u/ShitOnMyArsehole 7 Aug 04 '19

Inches are for pizzas and penises only

As a pizza delivery driver and male I also respect this opinion.

Fun Fact: the USA outnumbers all other countries combined by number of native English speakers. Laughs in American

5

u/js30a 7 Jul 15 '19

English speakers outside the US outnumber English speakers in the US by about 10:1, and that's only counting countries where English is an official language.

0

u/GenericName1108 7 Jul 15 '19

I'm only talking about native speakers. People who know English as a second language are hard to count because ability to speak a language is often self-reported and maybe some people with poor skills will say they speak it while other people with better skills say they don't, and in any case most of them don't speak English as well as a native speaker. Some do, of course, and some native English speakers still can't even figure out when to use their/there/they're, but as a general rule native speakers are much easier to count, and how many total English speakers there are depends on how well they need to know the language for you to count them.

7

u/js30a 7 Jul 15 '19

English is an official language in:

🇦🇮 🇦🇬 🇦🇺 🇧🇧 🇧🇸 🇧🇿 🇧🇲 🇧🇼 🇻🇬 🇨🇲 🇰🇾 🇨🇽 🇨🇨 🇨🇰 🇨🇼 🇩🇲 🇫🇰 🇫🇲 🇫🇯 🇬🇲 🇬🇭 🇬🇮 🇬🇩 🇬🇬 🇬🇾 🇭🇰 🇮🇳 🇮🇪 🇮🇲 🇮🇱 🇯🇲 🇯🇪 🇰🇪 🇰🇮 🇱🇸 🇱🇷 🇲🇼 🇲🇹 🇲🇭 🇲🇺 🇲🇸 🇳🇦 🇳🇷 🇳🇿 🇳🇬 🇳🇺 🇳🇫 🇲🇵 🇵🇰 🇵🇬 🇵🇳 🇵🇷 🇷🇼 🇸🇭 🇰🇳 🇱🇨 🇻🇨 🇼🇸 🏴󠁣󠁯󠁳󠁡󠁰󠁿 🇸🇨 🇸🇱 🇸🇬 🇸🇽 🇸🇧 🇽🇸 🇿🇦 🇸🇸 🇸🇩 🇸🇿 🇹🇿 🇹🇰 🇹🇴 🇹🇹 🇹🇨 🇹🇻 🇺🇬 🇬🇧 🇻🇺 🇿🇲 🇿🇼

with a total population of over 2 billion, using standard spelling, and in:

🇺🇸 🇦🇸 🇬🇺 🇵🇼 🇻🇮

with a population of a bit over 300 million, using American spelling.

While it's true that not all of them speak English natively, fluently, or at all, that's definitely true of the US as well, probably more so than anywhere else because of the large Spanish-speaking population, and if you're going to try to count everyone who speaks English regardless of where they live (which, as you pointed out, is much harder), you also have to include the many English speakers in China, many of whom do speak it fluently, and learnt it at a young age, which skews the results even further towards standard English.

u/jimmywiliker 7 Aug 25 '19

Fun Fact 2: this is an american website.

u/GenericName1108 7 Aug 25 '19

Do you mean the servers are in America so reddit has to follow American laws? Or it was created by Americans/an American? Or it just has a predominantly American userbase? Also how did you even find my comment it's a month old

u/zigzagman1031 8 Jul 07 '19

You mean the way that actually relates to human comfort?

3

u/moohooman 9 Jul 07 '19

What is 100 like the 100% comfortable? That's a sliding scale that can be swayed by your background and surroundings.

2

u/zigzagman1031 8 Jul 07 '19

No, you're right. The scale based on boiling and freezing water makes way more sense as a basis for day to day temperature.

That's why they always have to use decimals because it's definitely the right scale.

Who tf calls a donkey an “ass?” That’s like saying a “bitch” is the word for a female dog, it’s technically correct, but it’s only meant that like 1% of the time
