Millimeters as well for you? It’s probably because having to use fractions is so much less intuitive.

It’s weird, because small units I think about it cm, not imperial.

That’s a good idea that I think I will try out. To be honest, I have a pretty hard time visualizing distance, even with imperial, so sadly I don’t think that help will help me in that area.

Did you grow up using metric?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

I mean, yeah, I’m not arguing that imperial is a better system. Metric is superior, absolutely. I’m just arguing against the statement that there’s no reason to use it.

There is a reason. When you grow up with people around you using imperial units to describe things, you think in terms of it. If you tell me 10 ft., I can picture that in my head, I have an idea of how much that is in real terms. If you tell me 10m, I have no mental idea of how much that is, even if I can convert it. It’s like a language you grow up speaking, versus one you learn later in life.

I do think metric the sole system used in schools, to be honest.

I haven't even watched half the seasons of Curb Your Enthusiasm yet

You’re in for some amazing content! I wish I could watch that show for the first time again.

I highly recommend the show “What We Do in the Shadows.” It sort of covers this
