I was today years old when I realized I don't own anything to measure with the inferior measuring system, but here we are with instructions that say "mm." Wtf is that?

Haha you're probably not going to like this but..... The metric measurement system is a superior measurement system everything is divisible easily by 10 or a multiple of 10. (10 mm = 1cm, 100 cm = 1m, 1000m =1km. 1000g = 1kg, 1000kg = 1 tonne or metric tonne, 1 liter (or litre) of of fresh water weighs 1kg and 1 cubic meter of fresh water weighs 1000kg)....... just sayin

For people that can't do fractions or decimals 🙄 There's nothing hard about measure a smidge over 37/64th and adding 3/8s to it 😤

There's nothing special about the number 10.

Imperial was the original measurement system.

I knew you weren't going to like that comment :) I can do fractions but it makes things more efficient in my opinion but to each there own friend.

also just because it was the original measurement system doesn't make it necessarily better.

But we use that argument for Bitcoin 🤣

Haha yes, Well it doesn't necessarily make it not better either.

I'm not going to link to YT - don't know how to do a clean link - but your post made me think of that SNL skit with Nate Bergatze (as George Washington) about US measurements. I've lost patience with SNL but that's a good one.

That is a great one 😁
