America FUCK YEAH
May 5, 2010 at 8:14 pm
INCHES FOR LIFE BITCHES
May 5, 2010 at 9:31 pm
Err… America has mostly adopted the metric system. In fact, ALL OF AMERICA but USA.
May 6, 2010 at 3:06 am
those silly yankees
May 5, 2010 at 7:43 pm
go Liberia!
May 5, 2010 at 7:50 pm
Strong standards do not official backing to be put into use. I am sure there are plenty of housewives in Britain still using the Imperial.
May 5, 2010 at 8:06 pm
BULLSHIT, and fuck you for your anti-metric thoughts and how much you want to destroy mars observers.
May 5, 2010 at 9:18 pm
They still use things like miles (incl. miles per hour) colloquially, but for the most part anything official is in metric.
May 5, 2010 at 10:29 pm
Exactly. Who ever heard of a 20 centimeter dildo?
May 6, 2010 at 3:58 am
I guess somewhere around 6,800,000,000 – 400,000,000 people.
May 5, 2010 at 11:12 pm
I’m sure they verb, too. What was the missing one in your first sentence?
May 5, 2010 at 7:53 pm
And yet we are the only country that has robots and future missions to mars.
May 5, 2010 at 7:59 pm
Japan has more robots then we do.
May 5, 2010 at 8:25 pm
We got more nukes than they have.
May 6, 2010 at 3:43 am
Yet you don’t have universal healthc– fuck wait nevermind
May 6, 2010 at 11:09 am
Well it’s better than what they had, but it still sucks compared
to most other nations…
May 6, 2010 at 6:44 pm
No we still don’t have universal healthcare. We have universal ” you must purchase insurance ” healthcare.
May 6, 2010 at 11:10 am
Remember the last time NASA used Metric ?
They cratered that thing because the flight system thought
it was in miles not KM’s…reality is funnier than fiction…
May 6, 2010 at 4:00 am
and Mechas and Tentacle monsters that rape little girls
May 5, 2010 at 8:05 pm
Those guys DO use metric, though.
May 5, 2010 at 9:38 pm
Yes, and surely you think the scientist send the robots using foots and inches.
May 5, 2010 at 9:39 pm
I think they use miles.
May 6, 2010 at 1:51 am
*feet
May 6, 2010 at 10:49 am
Yeah, feet, thanks.
May 6, 2010 at 1:09 pm
You have “future missions to mars”? Shit, everyone’s got that. Hey, know what I got? Future Million Dollars, right here!
May 5, 2010 at 8:04 pm
I think it is a financial reason why we don’t use the metric system. Changing mile markers, speed limits, exit signs, and speedometers would cost a fortune. Plus, we’re stupid as fuck to learn something new.
May 5, 2010 at 8:08 pm
no, it wouldn’t cost a god damn thing. my truck already has Km on it, all we’d need to do is educate people on what’s what and just phase it in. speed limit signs are changed out every so often anyways right?
so why not add this economic stimulus to our economy now?
May 5, 2010 at 8:48 pm
CUZ MM ARE FOR MAH BULLETS
May 5, 2010 at 11:07 pm
…and if you need to repair your truck, you’ll prolly need metric tools.
May 5, 2010 at 8:16 pm
Canada’s been metric for a while now but everyone I knew there still measured people in feet and pounds. Like, it’s fine for me to describe a room as so and so meters but I couldn’t tell you how tall I am. One ninety or something.
Anyway, you’re standing with some lofty giants there americans.
May 5, 2010 at 8:23 pm
Is that Burma?
May 5, 2010 at 9:19 pm
The US still officially calls it Burma cuz it doesn’t recognize the current government there, but the rest of the world’s gotten over it.
May 5, 2010 at 10:31 pm
I thought it was Burma too and I’m from the UK. Although I might just be a moron.
May 5, 2010 at 11:19 pm
What does it call itself? Myanmar (sp)?
May 5, 2010 at 8:49 pm
Well at least we can say it’s used on 3 continents!
May 6, 2010 at 1:11 pm
It’s used in every continent, bro.
May 5, 2010 at 8:51 pm
Watch Top Gear, they still talk about miles per hour. Same up in Canada. So if they’re not using it, why should we? Oooh, everything divides by 10, so fuckin’ awesome!
May 6, 2010 at 9:54 am
in Canada we use km/hr, not miles per hour. tho in conversation we replace km/hr with miles per hour. SO we’ll say “i was goin 130 miles and hour down the 401″, but we mean 130 km/hr
May 5, 2010 at 8:54 pm
Actually, the United States uses both systems. Check the dimensions in a recent Government Motors service manual or the two scales on an automobile speedometer. The only difference is that the rest of the world dictates the metric system as the official government standard while people still use their traditional units as well. An excellent example is the unit of weight called the “catty”. Wikipedia notes it’s still in use despite their governments claiming to be metric.
May 5, 2010 at 9:20 pm
I-19 in So. Arizona is signed in metric (though I think they’re changing it back).
May 5, 2010 at 10:02 pm
So, folks were doing 112 in a 70mph zone?
Also, engineering feet FTW.
May 6, 2010 at 3:51 pm
The speed signs are in MPH still, but all the mileage (kilometerage?) signs are in meters or km.
May 5, 2010 at 9:55 pm
“I don’t want a large Farva. I want a goddamn litre o’ cola!”
May 5, 2010 at 10:15 pm
It doesn’t look like antarctica has adopted metric either!
May 6, 2010 at 12:01 am
Hah, there’s 4 countries who still uses it. Because we’re cooler and special
USA USA !!
May 6, 2010 at 12:09 am
Only 193 left to go.
May 6, 2010 at 12:56 am
america is for faggots
May 6, 2010 at 1:00 am
America is ‘special’
*cough* short bus *cough*
May 6, 2010 at 10:01 am
AMERICA GAVE BOTH YOU FAGGOTS THIS FINE WEBSITE
May 6, 2010 at 1:12 pm
I’m pretty sure Tiki did that.
May 6, 2010 at 4:04 am
Countries like the UK are smart about which system they use. Take temperature. We say Fahrenheit when it is hot, and Celsius when it is cold. Distances are all in miles, unless it is engineering/science related.
Amerifags are useless at mathematics so they can’t be arsed to learn to divide by 10 rather than 12, 6, 32 and 1609.344. Heck the US make it arsebackwards on themselves by using a different fucking pint and gallon measurement for fluids.
May 6, 2010 at 10:38 am
US is retarded. Where’s the news about that?
May 6, 2010 at 11:10 am
Drug dealers, users, and patients use the metric system.
Stupid map is stupid.
May 6, 2010 at 1:27 pm
In Canada:
Everything come packaged in metric but when cooking we use tablespoon and cup.
We measure speed in Km/h but long distance in miles.
we weight things in metric and people in lb and kg.
We measure horizontal things in metric and vertical thing in feet.
Weather outside is in C but we use F for cooking.
May 6, 2010 at 7:22 pm
Engineers and Scientists both use metric i personally don’t care for it.
Soon there’s going to be a system of measurement that surpasses both anyway in less than 10 years that people will adopt
May 10, 2010 at 11:40 am
lul.
