Soon it won’t matter anyways. Isn’t AmericaUS like..done now? We can move on with our normal shit and chuckle at it like a museum piece.

0 C being the temperature water freezes is useful for knowing if there is ice outside, which has practical use. If we keep going the way we are, soon 100 will be an indicator that there is no water outside. Practical if you're a hydrophobe or hydrophile.
There was something I read once upon a time that was like:
F is how hot/cold people are C is how hot/cold water is K is how hot/cold matter is
I feel like that's pretty accurate.
Come up with a metric time system then. Also, fix the damn calendar.
Also, fix the damn calendar
13 months, 28 days per month = 364 days. New Year's Day can be its own holiday separate from the rest of the year, and every fourth year it can be 2 days long.
Now we just need to get Big Calendar on board.
The second is the metric time system: A day is 86.4 kiloseconds!
Jokes aside the French did come up with Decimal Time (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_time), but it didn't catch on.
Never too late to catch on.
they tried to but it was a complete failure

I'm accustomed to the imperial system. But agree that metric is better.
Some metric stuff I have no trouble with. I have a good spatial sense of the distance of a mm, m, and km. And can do a rough miles to km (and vice versa) conversion in my head. I have a good sense of how much a kg is and similarly can do a rough conversion to and from lbs in my head. But while I understand that a gram is 1/1000 of a kg, if handed a small object and asked to guess how many grams it is, I'd fail miserably.
Celsius I can't ever remember the conversion, but I've had enough exposure to it that I understand if it means cold/cool/warm/hot weather.

I got used to Celsius while living abroad in Europe and Japan and prefer it to Fahrenheit. The extra granularity of the latter scale doesn't really add much more utility.
However, while 32 F and 212 F are pretty arbitrary, so is calibrating to the freezing and boiling temperatures of water. I'd rather have a scale that's calibrated to humans rather than H2O.
How do you define inch without metric units? How much is that?
Every country has a different definition of inch.
It was a beautiful chaos before metric!

Burgerperson here, metric should be standard
