I got it, it hurts to have to reflect on how completely scientifically illterate and ignorant Americans are.
It’s a completely fair dunk. Person shows up to lecture and act like measuring things with thumbs and arms is somehow sane, and expect to receive no mockery? Lol
Anti-intellectual people do not deserve much respect and I’m not sorry.

Dehumanizing an entire populace because of an opinion you have about a measuring system doesn’t make you better than them, it makes you a bigoted asshole.
Are you going to say the same about your ancestors who also measured things with cubits, spans, and paces? How fucking up your own ass do you have to be to judge individuals for a culture of measuring things? It literally doesn’t effect you at all if I grew up measuring things in yards and feet, as if I had a choice in the matter.
The United States of America is metric where it counts. All military, all scientific, all medical fields measure in metric. We are all taught how to use metric in school, and then we are introduced to the actual physical world where 200 years of infrastructure was built in Imperial. The system works, we don’t need to change it, it would nothing more than vanity to do so.
