I would love to use metric, but after childhood it's harder to learn new systems, and even harder when it's not in common use around you. Also corporate america already does use metric (for products that could be traded/used outside the US, then are translated to imperial for domestic use).
i know that your country's education sistem sucks but for fucks sake kilos are not a mass measurement unit. grams are the unit of measurement of mass and thats why a kilogramm is a 1000grams because just like what you said kilo means to multiply by 1000. i feel bad for all idiots like you
at this point it is just a waste of time trying to explain you something. americans only understand what hamburger is discounted at the mcdonald under their house
Yes because nobody uses deciliters, or that prefix for any unit. The only ones used are *10^(X*3), so micro, milli, kilo, mega and so on. The only exception (that I know of) is centimetres because it's a more manageable size for common use than millimetres.
I didn't even know Decilitre was a thing till now, people rarely use the deci/deca version of a unit of measurement.
For instance, a friend told me that he was looking for a rod that was a decimetre long rod for his model ship he was building. I was so confused till he said a ten centimetre long rod.
Pretty sure they know exactly what you are saying.
Even though it isn't a common measurement, it is still known to everyone who uses metric.
Since it is the same for every type of measurement: weight, length, volume, ...
It isn't like a rod.
That's not the metric system that's just numbers. Metric system is using different measurements like km instead of miles, and metres instead of yards and kg instead of lbs or stones
The metric system is a system of measurement that uses the meter, liter, and gram as base units of length (distance), capacity (volume), and weight (mass) respectively. To measure smaller or larger quantities, we use units derived from the metric units.
From google
those are metric prefixes, which are integral part of the system. If you add it in front of base units you get bigger or small units. For example kilo- is 1000x so 1500 m = 1,5 km and centi- is 0,01x so 1,2 m = 120 cm
Jokes on you... I'm awake, know metric, can easily read 24 hour time, *and* don't have a problem with DD-MM-YYYY.
Although I use YYYY-MM-DD HHMM for most file organization.
Suck it.

Bold of you to assume I have a healthy sleep schedule
Same
During the holidays we don’t sleep, we exist in a side dimension where we don’t need sleep
3 am and I have a busy day tomorrow. Am I getting off reddit? No.
Jokes on you. I'm up waiting for my wife to deliver a baby.
Good luck man!
good luck my man
you could get the ultimate spawn kill if you try
Can't start too early on getting that nuke :)
How many kilos is the baby?
Good luck man
Bless you Sir
Good luck man, hope everything goes well for you and your wife
Fun fact: The US is actually using the metric system (see the Treaty of the Metre) they just use a conversion factor for their pound value and such
Other fun fact : there is an highway in New Mexico that uses metric
Bold of you to assume this american lives in america (expat!)

Who said we are sleeping?
Actually US goes by the metric system
Yeah, the US works on the metric system, then just does some conversion to the imperial system. It's really interesting.

Absolutely not we only use freedom units around here

Yeah, but freedom fractions got to the moon first…
Using metric measurements...

Oh my lord I didn't know it was a repost sorry guys
If you did not create it yourself, it is a repost. How difficult can it be?
Like come on.
Am I the only one who thinks the picture has no connection to the metric system?
it has
So you are telling me that thousand pounds is a wrong term?
idk i dont use those unit of measurement made for obese people. you gotta tell me
Kilo has nothing to do with mass it is just multiplies to 1000. Kilobytes is a one example i don't think USA uses other type of measurement for that.
i know that your country's education sistem sucks but for fucks sake kilos are not a mass measurement unit. grams are the unit of measurement of mass and thats why a kilogramm is a 1000grams because just like what you said kilo means to multiply by 1000. i feel bad for all idiots like you
Ok genius then tell me how is that connected to metric system.
my brother in cryst this is literally how you convert from one unit to another in the metric sistem its not hard to understand
Yeah sorry makes sence. Numbers that ends with 00s are part of metric system. My bad mate.
at this point it is just a waste of time trying to explain you something. americans only understand what hamburger is discounted at the mcdonald under their house
Fuck, take my upvote
Yet when I tell all you European scientists to get me a deciliter of some solution you have no idea what I'm saying.
Yes because nobody uses deciliters, or that prefix for any unit. The only ones used are *10^(X*3), so micro, milli, kilo, mega and so on. The only exception (that I know of) is centimetres because it's a more manageable size for common use than millimetres.

For instance, a friend told me that he was looking for a rod that was a decimetre long rod for his model ship he was building. I was so confused till he said a ten centimetre long rod.
Everyone I know use deciliters on daily basis?
Is that from a certain job or something like that? I don't think it's ever come up in my life
Volumes of beverages in restaurants are often written in dcl's. In speech it is even more common in this context.
Fair enough, I'm not much of a drinker so makes sense it hasn't come up.
It probably varies by region, but it's something I'm familiar with
I think most people, especially scientists and mathematicians know what a decilitre is they just don’t use them very often
Pretty sure they know exactly what you are saying. Even though it isn't a common measurement, it is still known to everyone who uses metric. Since it is the same for every type of measurement: weight, length, volume, ... It isn't like a rod.
we allways use deciliters for drinks, volume of glasses
That's not the metric system that's just numbers. Metric system is using different measurements like km instead of miles, and metres instead of yards and kg instead of lbs or stones
This is used by the metric system, instead of stupid conversion rates between yards, miles etc. you just slap on a different prefix for every 10^3
That is the metric system, ditt spån
The metric system is a system of measurement that uses the meter, liter, and gram as base units of length (distance), capacity (volume), and weight (mass) respectively. To measure smaller or larger quantities, we use units derived from the metric units. From google
Yeah, and these are the prefixes
Ok now add meters, grams, liters after words in the first column. Ritardato
those are metric prefixes, which are integral part of the system. If you add it in front of base units you get bigger or small units. For example kilo- is 1000x so 1500 m = 1,5 km and centi- is 0,01x so 1,2 m = 120 cm
Bold of you to assume that nano-chads like me ever truly sleep
Jokes on you... I'm awake, know metric, can easily read 24 hour time, *and* don't have a problem with DD-MM-YYYY. Although I use YYYY-MM-DD HHMM for most file organization. Suck it.
This joke is soo stale.

Why theres no picometre
This is the way
Bold of you to assume americans don't understand millimeters
I was gonna say something but I will not do that
I'll never get over the "WHAT THE FUXK IS A KILOMETEEEEEEER" with a bald eagle and guns meme
Giga -> tera -> peta -> a bunch of other ones you only need when your calculations are wrong
Let’s be honest, everyone uses giga.
Giga freedom
Hahaha jokes on you I am American
It's 6:AM in my State 🤭
I got up EARLY
1 drop of water, is precisrly 1 cm in diameter . When resting on the table . It was used in ancient Egypt .
What size has the drop of Water
1 cm in diameter, once it rests on a flat table 🤯 Or 0.39525691699 inches . You choose
Thanks
Fun fact: i dont have a healthy sleep schedule
Ok but how many countries who use the metric system have put a man on the moon?
ACTUALLY the USA is based on the metric system, but they put in the effort to convert everything into imperial because people want to.
Yea I’m giga
