Europhiles / Americanophobia / EU+UK Commonwealth Inferiority Complex / American Dunning–Kruger Virtue Signaling

Hate to repeat myself from Q&A, but are there some things better about Europe compared to the US? Yes, but it is only at our cost as Americans.

I will never give up my US citizenship. Living there really cemented who I really am and what country I ultimately identify with. I do ID with Germany just because I spent half my life dealing with it, but would I give up my US citizenship to be German? LMAO NO.
 
Metric isn't all that much better than Imperial. The only advantage Metric has is that it's easier to do conversions, that's literally it. Unless you work in a laboratory setting where you need to do a whole bunch of conversions quickly, you're probably just fine using Imperial, and I think Imperial absolutely blows Metric out of the water when it comes to "everyday" applications. A foot is the length of your foot, an inch is a about from the knuckle of your thumb to the tip 0 degrees is really cold but livable, 100 degrees is really hot bur livable, etc. Every Metric measurement is based off of something horrifically obscure like how far light travels in a fraction of a second, yet they're going to turn around and go "HURR HURR YOU MEASURE BY HOGSHEADS". Metric is a system that only makes sense if you're the person in the office crunching data, if you have to actually measure stuff in the field with hand tools, it's an unlubricated spiky dildo. The only people that openly simp for metric are seething Europoors and American Europhiles. Which is more contemptible, I leave to you.

The worst part is that for all this insistence that us Americans just need to "gEt wItH tHe pRoGrAm" and switch to the metric, most of the industries where it makes sense to switch have already done so. Science, medicine and most high-tech fields have already switched over. Meaning that when Europeans are talking about how ass-backwards Americans are for using, they're kvetching about road signs and food measurements. That's how you know you have a heckin' superior culture right there, when you're throwing autistic meltys over the fact that you had to read a sign in miles instead of kilometers.
 
I hate both. Eastern Europe and East Asia is just better.

The EU is just as pozzed as the US.

It is better, and easier to convert. But I just though mutts were stupid and couldn't into multiply by ten, but apparently it is a stone age system, useful if you don't have any tools at all. 0 C is water frozen, 100 C is water boiling. There are upsides to the US, but their measurements aren't one of them unless you are so redneck you don't have even measuring tape.

Could you pick a side and stick with it? First our system is arcane and arbitrary and harder to do conversions, next it's a system that we use because we're stupid. You can't have it both ways.

Which is fine if I'm boiling or freezing water. If I'm trying to tell someone how hot it is outside, having half of the 0-100 scale being outside of the temperature range humans can survive in is a very silly-billy thing to do. And most scientific applications use Kelvin anyway, so there's not even the "heckin' science" defense here.
 
Eastern Europe and East Asia
Gee couldn’t of guessed you would say that… kek:lol:
Clown World
forget it jake, it’s clown town.

I think a more accurate term for where Clown World seems to be headed is "totalitarian".
It definitely is that, but sneaky about it and always lying.
Our cynically and strategically liberal progressive elites have no issues going full boot stomp mode whenever it suits them.
After all, that is the natural reaction power always has towards dissident challenges.

Metric is arbitrary, too. I don’t give a fuck if a cubic centimeter aligns with a milliliter, there’s never going to be an instance where that matters. It’s just advertising.

Now I ask you, how badly do you want to dig up Robespierre and suck his dead balls? Because that’s where the metric system came from. Too bad the ten month calendar didn’t catch as well, or worshipping Robespierre as a god

lmao

Theres never going to be an instance where unification of various measurements and weights and volumes matters! Its just advertising!

1 cubic centimeter equals one milliliter. Ok, and now what do we do with that?

Did you have an example ready or are we waiting for it to come up?
Knowing that a barrel with a cubic meter of water will take however many liters to fill. And that the weight of the barrel will be however many kilograms.

Idk man it makes a lot of math simple and easy, arbitrary as it may be. And that's good enough

My question is how hard is it for you to learn SAE? Americans usually know both. Why should we conform to YOUR inability to count by 12's when it works perfectly fine and we already know your system??

nobody is ever going to worry about any of that without having a calculator or an excel spreadsheet or some version of computer aided drafting anyways.

I’m just saying, I’m a journeyman cnc machinist and I’ve yet to come across a situation where I was like “oh thank god it’s metric”. You just ignore it and remember conversion. Like 10mm is .3937

It’s a total prejudice thing, but yeah, I aesthetically enjoy the patterns in sae conversion. 5/8ths or 10/16 is .625 and 1/16 is .0625

I think people assume metric is going to be neater because they assume things in real life are going to come out in base ten multiples. But you’re never really going to measure something that’s 10.00 mm, it’ll be 9.99 or 10.01

Yeah i love measuring clearances in tenthousandths of an inch instead of tenths of a millimeter. How easy and convenient!
