The best country would have: * EU floor numbers (ground floor is 0th) * Also Global South floor numbers (don't skip 4th or 13th) * East Asian date format (YYYY-MM-DD) * EU time (24 hour) * Also non-Western time (no DST) * Anywhere-but-US units (meters, kg) * OK fine, if I can have all of the above I'll use Fahrenheit

12” is a lot more divisible than 10 centimeters. Fahrenheit is stupid though

I’m hearing - 5280 is more divisible than 1000 Instead of a decimeter try a meter And it’s so easy to make conversions when 1L of water is 1 kg and 1 mL is 1 cm^3 vs just looking up whatever imperial conversions you need at the time

My only argument for US system is really just the 12" per foot scale, the rest of it is stupid. I'll take a 1kg or 1L everyday of the week over the rest of our shit

i had a coworker (microbiologist) just casually say how lucky it was that 1 L of water = 1 kg, he thought it was some happy accident American excellence!
