Well, even the USA uses metric in every science and discipline that requires precision. Thus, many engineers are forced to use both. Metric for accuracy, and imperial to explain the measurements to their boss/clients/contractors
I study mechanical engineering in Brazil and i still need to learn freaking imperial for some american blueprints for stuff, it makes me sad. Even in autocad theres a Drop down menu for choosing your measurement for the unit of light and there are 2 options: "universal" and "aMeRiCaN" exactly for the reason you mentioned
Which implies that the only reason to use imperial is for people that haven't learned metric ergo if you just teach metric in schools the problem is gone in 3 generations maximum.

I have no idea how long any measurement is, so I just measure things in Kirbys. Kirby, the video game character, is 20 cm (or about 8 in.) tall. I have a plushie of Kirby that’s pretty much exactly that height, so I have a physical frame of reference. Every time I need to measure something, I just imagine Kirby next to it. One meter? That’s 5 Kirbys. One foot? Around 1.5 Kirbys. Easy.
We'll make that universial now, I want rocket engineers around the world to math out how fast their rocket needs to go in a specific angle around jupiter to go to outer space in kirbys per second.
2:46 Fun fact about that Air Canada flight: They found out about their low fuel situation mid-air, and like most people, went to the manual to see what to do. However, the writers of that manual just kinda... never included what to do when your plane has no fuel. They were then directed to another airport, but realized they didn't have enough fuel to get there. Fortunately, the pilot knew of an abandoned airstrip, and tried landing there. However, turns out that the airstrip had been converted. Into a drag racing strip. Where currently. There is a drag race going on. Fortunately, the plane was able to land, despite the fact that the front landing gear didn't lock in place and went back into the plane, it actually caused the plane to lower on the ground, and the friction helped stop the plane, so yay!
What’s bonkers is that in America you grow up learning imperial and then learn metric for like a week and then be expected to remember all the conversions for both
Nobody actually expects you to memorize the conversions, because nobody uses metric unless they need it for work (like an engineer) or to pass a test in science class. You memorize it for that week and then forget it. This is normal and basically an expected given.

Let’s be real it makes more sense for weather. Like dang 10 degrees outside?? That’s like 10% hot as in very cold like 10 is not a big number. 100 degrees is real hot; that’s a big number.

@@dianarojo-jewell6091 Note: you should never describe either Fahrenheit or Celsius in terms of percentages or multiples. 20 degrees in either measurement is not twice as hot as 10 degrees in the same measurement.

Football fields are 100yards, so when they say football fields, it’s a general reference because most people have a pretty good sense of how big a football field is, rather than being told a arbitrary figure in its 2 tenth power
@@Ikkei-4444 Yeah except they're not. An American football field is (using metric here, I'll put imperial below) 110m by 49m. A European football field can vary with it being 90m - 120m by 45m - 90m (done with a quick google search). This is just comparing USA with Europe, it might be even different in other continents.

Keep up the amazing work, your videos always brighten my day!
When you’re from a country that uses metric but almost everyone you know uses what I think is imperial to measure height so whenever you google someone’s height and it doesn’t say like 5’7 or something you have to convert cm to feet to get a good mental image and understanding of their height.

oh yeah and i have to do this conversion almost daily too since we like to nerd out about animals and everyone else uses imperial so when my mind hears that an anteater is 7'2 feet in length it creates a fucking huge anteater then i remember feet is dumb convert and it's a normal 2,2 meters in length still very big but not stupid big

Metric is base on pure and careful calculation, and scientists and mathematicians have agreed to make measuring easier, so with careful desicion making and rational thinking the metric system has been created, props to the peps who made dimensional analysis easy for me and my classmates :);)
But do you really need decimeters, deciliters , centiliters , centigrams , decigrams , and anything below the milli prefix and above the kilo prefix for measurement in 99 percent of task no...

Back to my first physics class: the professor was intruducing us to the class and metric system, he said: "there are also other measuring systems used by other countries, for example some uses inches... but those are uncivilized countries so we're not using those..." I loved that professor

Fahrenheit is pretty easy, it’s just what percent the temperature feels to you, so something 20% hot would feel pretty cold, and something 90% hit would be pretty warm
As a person who lives in the U.S is currently in school and struggling to remember all the stuff in the imperial system this was accurate of how I feel about it :/
Simple Learn it a little, and then never retain it and just Google it for the rest of your life like the rest of Americans Who gives a shit if you memorized it if you have Google in your pocket at all times
Honestly I don’t think anyone i know in the US would mind converting to metric. It just makes sense for everyone to be on the same page xD sure relearning it might be hard at first but it’s the first step that’s always the hardest.
as someone who had to get used to different currencies, I can say it's easy. You get lost for the first week or so and then you just divide or multiply by the rate. Metric is even easier since the rate doesn't change.
I can't do metric, imperial is so simple and easy to understand. Everything being the same with a different prefix to denote size is just madness I will never be able to put my head around. Plus you would just cause total chaos on the streets, people would be guessing at what speed to go if signs became metric. They aren't gonna buy new cars will use old ones with imperial speedometers.
@@domehammer 2 things 1: Even if you don't want to memorize what the prefixes mean, really all you have to memorize is the order, in everyday life most people just use millimeters, centimeters, meters, and kilometers because thats usually enough. Same with weight, ect 2: just buy a new speedometer instead of a new car lmao Really the biggest hurdle would be converting from Fahrenheit to Celsius since thats one of the few imperial system numbers that'll actually be ingrained in people's heads, a lot of thermostats and ovens here in Canada STILL use Fahrenheit despite us being a metric country. Most Americans I've met who swapped over to metric have described it as "surprisingly smooth" It's not learning a new language, it's just learning to count to 10 again

It's like learning a new language: no matter if you fail or succeed, you will go mentally insane
@@doomclasher9287 lmao what? All American schools teach physics and chemistry in metric system. Or at least in California where I am.

Edit: Thanks Narnio. I'm a true potato.
A decimeter cubed is 1 liter But since it's cubed, instead of multiplying by ten, you multiply by 1000 (if its square, you multiply by 100) So 1 meter cubed is 1000 liters, you probably already knew that
I’m American. I’ve lived in America my whole life. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever even traveled outside the country. I totally agree with your point. I have a whole lot of things that make it so that I struggled a lot to learn/remember certain measurements. And don’t even get me started on conversions! Even just conversions between different imperial system measurements is hard, converting it to metric is even harder! I’m sad because at this point in my life my brain is developed a decent amount and that makes it even harder to learn a new system of measurements. They did teach us metric in school, but I never actually really truly learned it or understood it. Although I understood the concept, I can’t picture/visualize what the different metric system measurements would be. Like, when I think of an inch I can picture how much an inch is and I’m pretty accurate. But I can’t do that with most metric measurements. And I have personal issues and things that make it so that I can’t really learn it now. So I’m kind of salty about it because I think it would be so much easier if I just learned metric first and America just used metric. It’s very annoying.

The wasaship sank because it was to tall. The swedish king wanted it to be bigger when they where almost halfway through the build process. The bottom was to small in comparison to the height and a tiny tiny wind knocked it over.
I mean America uses metric for international affairs (science, business, etc.) just not locally Besides that's changing too, just slowly, "inch by inch" if you will Additionally when you tell someone to do something they're quite unlikely to listen, this isn't an American trait, it's a human trait, the only reason I listen and try to use both is because no one told me too, I just learned in in school Plus it's not exactly easy for me, sure conversions are easy, but to me I don't have a good idea what a Kg feels like, what a km looks like Life is more than just raw data, it's also how the brain uses that data (addionally the only downside is that metric is unnatural and must be taught, since humans are wired to count, measure and perceive in multiples, not units, this is likely evolutionary because oh what's the difference between 51 and 50 wolves, well not much But 1 or 2 wolves is either bad or 100% worse) One of the biggest annoyances about metric harkers is that they completely forgot that science tells us why the US is taking so long, give us time and be nicer and it'll probably happen sooner
@@Sip_Dhit "addionally the only downside is that metric is unnatural and must be taught..." I don't know if you're aware but you were taught how imperial works as well, people don't slide out of the womb with the innate knowledge of how many inches go into a foot go into a yard go into a mile, if you're talking about what's easier to understand then I'd say multiples of ten are comparatively pretty simple to get your head around. Remarks like that are part of why people make fun of Americans that defend imperial in the first place; they're seemingly born entirely out of the fact you know one system because it was taught to you in grade school and barely even knew what the other system was until you were a teenager at the earliest, of course you think imperial is more intuitive (the other part that gets them mocked is that they're usually much more obnoxious at getting their point across because differing opinions on arbitrary systems make people extremely defensive). Like, I can even empathise with your struggle to visualise and convert from imperial to metric naturally; I grew up in a household that uses feet and stone despite living in a country that entirely uses metric, but even then metric is _leagues_ easier to grasp because you literally only need to learn one unit and you can convert it up and down by shifting the decimal point, it's not remotely "unnatural" (or at least no less natural than any other system of measurement).
@@theundeadgentleman4998 In my humble opinion, the Imperial system is best for the layman. How long is an inch? about the first digit of your thumb, or three barleycorns. A yard? three feet. A quart? Four cups. An English mile? 1000 paces. How would you visualise litres, centimetres and kilograms?
@@liamthibaudeau8966 the average hand is 15 centimeter long, middle of the neck to end of the middle finger is 1m, as well has waist to ground, or even one long step, most water bottles are 1 liters, 1 liter of water is exactly 1kg. for the other units, just scale it up or down. just for length, you had to give three different exemple, if I need a higher distance units, I can just do 10 long step, if I need a smaller one, I know that 2/3 of my hand (aka my index finger) is 10 cm.

The frustation with measuring is so relatable - especially the part about trying to memerize all of the nonsencical measurements of the imperial system. Keep up the amazing work, your videos always brighten my day!
When you’re from a country that uses metric but almost everyone you know uses what I think is imperial to measure height so whenever you google someone’s height and it doesn’t say like 5’7 or something you have to convert cm to feet to get a good mental image and understanding of their height.

oh yeah and i have to do this conversion almost daily too since we like to nerd out about animals and everyone else uses imperial so when my mind hears that an anteater is 7'2 feet in length it creates a fucking huge anteater then i remember feet is dumb convert and it's a normal 2,2 meters in length still very big but not stupid big

You're forgetting temperatures. (and also kelvin... because having two temperature units wasn't confusing enough!)
Eh kelvin is only used by space folks and them idk
Kelvin is just Celsius with about 300 added on top :) It's just there cause scientists wanted to start from zero (the absolute cold of 0 kelvin)
@@Cibershadow2 273.15 to be precise, also kelvin is used a lot in physics, especially when we talk about energy and transfer of it.

Is your school in a dumpster? How is your education that bad, lol.
That’s your fault lmao
Honestly I don’t think anyone i know in the US would mind converting to metric. It just makes sense for everyone to be on the same page xD sure relearning it might be hard at first but it’s the first step that’s always the hardest.
as someone who had to get used to different currencies, I can say it's easy. You get lost for the first week or so and then you just divide or multiply by the rate. Metric is even easier since the rate doesn't change.
I know multiple old people who flip over the thought of having to learn anything new but they're garbage racists so eh.
It would be stupid expensive too.
I can't do metric, imperial is so simple and easy to understand. Everything being the same with a different prefix to denote size is just madness I will never be able to put my head around.
Plus you would just cause total chaos on the streets, people would be guessing at what speed to go if signs became metric. They aren't gonna buy new cars will use old ones with imperial speedometers.
@@domehammer 2 things
1: Even if you don't want to memorize what the prefixes mean, really all you have to memorize is the order, in everyday life most people just use millimeters, centimeters, meters, and kilometers because thats usually enough. Same with weight, ect
2: just buy a new speedometer instead of a new car lmao
Really the biggest hurdle would be converting from Fahrenheit to Celsius since thats one of the few imperial system numbers that'll actually be ingrained in people's heads, a lot of thermostats and ovens here in Canada STILL use Fahrenheit despite us being a metric country.

Fun Metric Fact: A decimeter cubed can hold exactly 1 liter of liquid. That makes calculations between distance and volume REALLY easy. Like...call me smooth brain but there is something so clean about being able to tell that a meter cubed of something is exactly 1000 liters of that same thing. IDk, maybe it's just me.
Edit: Thanks Narnio. I'm a true potato.
1000*
If a liquid has the density of water, you can also say that a gram is exactly one mililiter.
A decimeter cubed is 1 liter
But since it's cubed, instead of multiplying by ten, you multiply by 1000 (if its square, you multiply by 100)
So 1 meter cubed is 1000 liters, you probably already knew that
And guess how much how much that weighs? 1 kilogram per litre of water, so a cubic metre of water is 1000kg, or 1 metric tonne. Brilliant.
Meters are the best man
I’m American. I’ve lived in America my whole life. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever even traveled outside the country. I totally agree with your point. I have a whole lot of things that make it so that I struggled a lot to learn/remember certain measurements. And don’t even get me started on conversions! Even just conversions between different imperial system measurements is hard, converting it to metric is even harder! I’m sad because at this point in my life my brain is developed a decent amount and that makes it even harder to learn a new system of measurements. They did teach us metric in school, but I never actually really truly learned it or understood it. Although I understood the concept, I can’t picture/visualize what the different metric system measurements would be. Like, when I think of an inch I can picture how much an inch is and I’m pretty accurate. But I can’t do that with most metric measurements. And I have personal issues and things that make it so that I can’t really learn it now. So I’m kind of salty about it because I think it would be so much easier if I just learned metric first and America just used metric. It’s very annoying.
Your color palette was excellent. I watched your live stream and I know how much work you had to put into finishing this video (alot) I'm very impressed with the dedication you must've had to finish this in such a short amount of time. Oh and also Happy Birthday

Almost everyone: USE METRIC SYSTEM
Americanes: *NO!*
almost everyone :why
americans : cuz we aren't sheeps
I mean America uses metric for international affairs (science, business, etc.) just not locally
Besides that's changing too, just slowly, "inch by inch" if you will
Additionally when you tell someone to do something they're quite unlikely to listen, this isn't an American trait, it's a human trait, the only reason I listen and try to use both is because no one told me too, I just learned in in school
Plus it's not exactly easy for me, sure conversions are easy, but to me I don't have a good idea what a Kg feels like, what a km looks like
Life is more than just raw data, it's also how the brain uses that data
(addionally the only downside is that metric is unnatural and must be taught, since humans are wired to count, measure and perceive in multiples, not units, this is likely evolutionary because oh what's the difference between 51 and 50 wolves, well not much
But 1 or 2 wolves is either bad or 100% worse)
One of the biggest annoyances about metric harkers is that they completely forgot that science tells us why the US is taking so long, give us time and be nicer and it'll probably happen sooner
@@Sip_Dhit "addionally the only downside is that metric is unnatural and must be taught..."
I don't know if you're aware but you were taught how imperial works as well, people don't slide out of the womb with the innate knowledge of how many inches go into a foot go into a yard go into a mile, if you're talking about what's easier to understand then I'd say multiples of ten are comparatively pretty simple to get your head around. Remarks like that are part of why people make fun of Americans that defend imperial in the first place; they're seemingly born entirely out of the fact you know one system because it was taught to you in grade school and barely even knew what the other system was until you were a teenager at the earliest, of course you think imperial is more intuitive (the other part that gets them mocked is that they're usually much more obnoxious at getting their point across because differing opinions on arbitrary systems make people extremely defensive).
Like, I can even empathise with your struggle to visualise and convert from imperial to metric naturally; I grew up in a household that uses feet and stone despite living in a country that entirely uses metric, but even then metric is _leagues_ easier to grasp because you literally only need to learn one unit and you can convert it up and down by shifting the decimal point, it's not remotely "unnatural" (or at least no less natural than any other system of measurement).
@@theundeadgentleman4998 In my humble opinion, the Imperial system is best for the layman. How long is an inch? about the first digit of your thumb, or three barleycorns. A yard? three feet. A quart? Four cups. An English mile? 1000 paces. How would you visualise litres, centimetres and kilograms?
@@liamthibaudeau8966 the average hand is 15 centimeter long, middle of the neck to end of the middle finger is 1m, as well has waist to ground, or even one long step, most water bottles are 1 liters, 1 liter of water is exactly 1kg.
for the other units, just scale it up or down.
just for length, you had to give three different exemple, if I need a higher distance units, I can just do 10 long step, if I need a smaller one, I know that 2/3 of my hand (aka my index finger) is 10 cm.
According to Gingerpale there are 17 + different ways to measure with in the Imperial System
