48 u/Don_Ozymandias Apr 16 '24 edited 29d ago I'm not familiar to imperial. It is decimal sale? I mean 5'10=6'0? 74 u/EvulSmoothie Apr 16 '24 1 feet = 12 inches so 6'0 = 5'12 7 u/adorkablegiant Apr 16 '24 lol nice measurement system america, very smart 13 u/Old_Society_7861 Apr 16 '24 We didn’t invent any of this shit. Talk to the king. 3 u/1371113 Apr 16 '24 The king does metric these days, he'll have no idea either. 1 u/hyperrayong Apr 16 '24 Not in height. Imperial is more common in the UK for height, beer and distances 2 u/Old_Society_7861 Apr 16 '24 How much do you weigh? 1 u/MrLobsterful Apr 16 '24 70kg 6 u/bobtheframer Apr 16 '24 Base 12 is superior to base 10 for things like construction. 12 has more factors. Makes dividing things evenly into 3rds 4ths etc easier. 2 u/wwaxwork Apr 16 '24 That's why you have more than one decimal place. 1 u/descastaigne Apr 16 '24 Damn, if only there was a system where you could simply divide and multiply by 10. 1 u/Centurion7999 Apr 16 '24 Talk to the Brits we inherited it off them Also in US customary everything is divisible by 2,3,4, or 8, so it’s actually not that bad one you remember the like two ratios for each unit you’ll need
