Actual poster from 1917 that made me laugh. A lot.

Also, those motherfuckers are measuring the weight of those balls in kilograms, aren’t they?

    i made a point:

    more like we’d rather stay with the stupidness and inconvenience we know rather than change anything, no matter how much better it would be

    and you’re agreeing with it. repeatedly. though i don’t know what you think the “debate” here is. are you trying to get me to agree with “no, we shouldn’t change to metric”? because that’s not going to happen. but you can keep trying if that makes you feel better

    • I don’t care that you think we should switch to metric, you said that Americans aren’t switching purely because they hate change, and they don’t care about the potential benefits just because they hate change so damn much. This is what I’ve been arguing against. I honestly have no idea how you could have read all of that and come to the conclusion I’m arguing against the metric system. Every word of it is about why Americans don’t think the switch is worth it.
