Automatically translates measurements written in body parts and archaic British units into something comprehensible.

Thank you very much for posting about this. Extremely useful to someone that doesn't understand American babble (such as myself).

People who don't have freedom units in their hearts can never be free, for they do not even know how to measure the quantity of their freedom. I could offer you Pounds of Freedom, or gallons of liquid freedom! Even offer square miles of untrammeled freedom, and you will turn it down. Because your liter of tyranny, your kilo of oppression, and square kilometers of imprisonment are all you can understand.

Does it work in reverse? I'd like to know wtf a british liter converts to in football fields.

"I'm too stupid to perform unit conversion, much less to understand that units based on powers of 10 are equally arbitrary as any other units" Well thanks for making this thread to let us know

As the Americans learned so painfully in Earth’s final century, free flow of metric measurements is the only safeguard against tyranny. The once-chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on imperial measurements flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism. Beware of he who would deny you access to Jeffrey Epstein's fly list, for in his heart he dreams himself to be free.

Imperial units are anti-democratic and anti-American. The Br*tish haven't truly been kicked off the continent until metric becomes the standard. You have nothing to lose but your chains (1 chain = 66 feet = 20.1168 m).

The metric system is French in origin. If Americans want to be truly free they need to start measuring weight in big macs, distances in McDonald's parking lots and volume in refillable soda cups.

I don't see imperial ever ending here unless something changes, most people will stick with it out of comfort. I wound up using both since my private school really heavily pushed metric.

That's been done a million times and it's always a fruitless debate because at the end, in daily use, it just comes down to conforming to the environment and using whatever is the norm where you live. This is for people like me who aren't American but browse American websites and are confused at statements like men who measure less than six feet are manlets (whose feet? a ballerina's? a professional basketball player's?)

I live in Burgerland but I prefer metric, though I may post both here.

Like "a bird could dive at 100 KPH (60 MPH)" for example.

Don’t you mean:

Autoumatically translates measuremeunts written in boudy parts and archauic British units intou soumething compreheunsible.

I wish I could install a browser extension that would disable daylight saving time in my country. I'm so tired of this stupid bullshit that makes already short days even shorter.
