      I understand you like imperial better. It is after all a system designed by and for people that need to count on their fingers and haven’t figured out the use of the decimal point yet.

        In case anyone wants to randomly take a deep dive into the origins of numerosity (including finger counting) I highly suggest the work of Karenleigh Overmann.

        A paper to get you started

        A youtube (sorry, not on peertube) video if you’re not into papers

        metric is for people that are to mentally impaired to do conversions quickly. it is built for the feeble mind, unlike imperial

          So that’s why it’s always 1/4 mile and 2/3 cup instead using feet or ounces.
