Combing WWWP's facial hair usually just makes me uncomfortable.

The imperial system is just as logical and useful as the metric system and the metric system is just as arbitrary as the imperial system. Neither of those things actually matter once a communicative standard has been established and anyone who argues that one is superior is a Nazi culture whore incapable of applying their knowledge beyond regurgitation.

Imperial is superior. You know how? Take a cake for instance, cakes taste better with ingredients measured out in the Imperial System than with a metric system. It's true. It's a scientific fact. You buy orange juice, right? Let's say I buy Imperial System OJ in the 64 fz (fluid ounces) cartoon and you're buying metric orange juice in the 1.75 liter container. I'm getting the full 64 ounces amount of orange juice and you're getting jipped out of 4.82546 ounces of orange juice, cause you're only getting 59.17454 ounces. Now how is metric superior? Another thing if you're deserted on an island and you had to choose between a 12 inch ruler, or a metric yardstick. What would you pick? You would have to go with the 12 inch ruler. Cause with a twelve inch ruler you can mark out 3, 4, 5 segments and make a right triangle. You can use that as tool to make right angles when you build your hut. If you use metric you'll run into all kind of problems because of irrational numbers trying figure out how to make a right angle out of ten decimeters. Since you don't know how to make right angle with your meterstick you'll be building a crooked hut that will fall apart on you and you'll die from exposure of the elements. See Metric will kill you.

Metric has too many zeros. Zeros don’t even have any value. They’re just stupid circles. Lame af tbh
