aylez [#9]what happened to your stars RickyIndian??
idk LMAO
i didn't do anything to get them removed
GlaZeD [#7]Indians have disowned ricky he belongs to Americans now
i've always been with the americans tf
RickyIndian [#12]i've always been with the americans tf
well change your name to RickyAmerican then
RickyIndian [#16]but im ethnically indian
You cannot claim that part of yourself anymore. Sorry not sorry
welikefortniteandvalorant [#19]metric system:
1km = 1'000m = 100'000cm = 10'000'000mm
imperial system:
idk even know shits just bad and overcomplicated for no reason 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
?
1 foot = 12 inches
1 yard = 3 feet
1 mile = 1760 yards or 5280 feet
1 pint = 2 cups
1 quart = 2 pints
1 gallon = 4 quarts
pretty simple

literal garbage system
GajarKaHalwa [#22]how is it possible to have such terrible takes
it's not a bad take if you think about it

It’s pretty self explanatory ngl
Mortadelo [#25]You mean Indian from India or Indian as Native American
my parents are from india
they moved to america and i was born in america
SilentNight [#30]your takes are garbage that's why you lost your stars
hey just a friendly help, it should be "your takes are garbage" since takes is plural
RickyIndian [#31]hey just a friendly help, it should be "your takes are garbage" since takes is plural
thanks for correction (altho i dont give a shit about my english as long as it's understandable)
RickyIndian [#29]my parents are from india

Fair enough, just wondering
RickyIndian [#11]idk LMAO

seems like there is a new system that counts downvotes as more than upvotes, so if you get downvoted a lot itll probably lose stars more quickly.

yes but how much is a pint in relation to anything you can quantify in order to find your starting point, and how do your distances relate to your volumes and weights? How many inches cubed is a pint? how much does a gallon of water weigh? Once you've remembed the 10 different conversions listed above (forgetting the ones between stones and pounds etc) how do they relate to each other? Same issue with Fahrenheit v Celsius.
Imperial seems easier to use because every distance/weight was completely arbitrary and so we picked things that were on a similar scale to humans, feet being the prime example. Once you start using it for anything complex it completely falls apart and that's why metric will always be superior

ur american now.

well you're british so that's all invalid

exCUSE ME why is "cups" a unit of measurement??? and then you have "1 mile=5280 feet". and that is easier and/or better than 1km=1000m??? no its not. also could they get more uncreative than naming a quarter of a gallon a "quart"? this whole system is messed up.
RickyIndian [#43]well you're british so that's all invalid
well youre rickyindian and all your takes are just wrong so that is all valid.
RickyIndian [#45]no it isn't
if you spend more time converting between the different units than actually figuring out a problem using these units then its stupid
PuGGey [#51]i use both, football fields are still the supreme form of measurement.
Fahrenheit > Celsius tho, I am a human, not water
oh yeah, completely forgot about that
farenheit is much more accurate

BLIMEY WHAT'S THE WEATHA?
oi it's about 20.5 degrees celsius!
is it not easier to say it's 69 degrees farenheit
RickyIndian [#46]*you're
10mm = 1 cm
100 cm = 1 m
1000m = 1km
12in = 1 foot
3 feet = 1 yard
1760 yards = 1 mile
idk about you but that seems harder

why do yards still exist? 1 yard is 0.91 metres
barooni [#54]10mm = 1 cm
100 cm = 1 m
1000m = 1km12in = 1 foot
3 feet = 1 yard
1760 yards = 1 mileidk about you but that seems harder
12 in = 1 foot
that's fair, but Fahrenheit clears Celsius by a mile
RickyIndian [#43]well you're british so that's all invalid
I will concede we should phase out miles from the roads and move to km but basically everything else is in metric apart from getting pints of drink, and since there is no reason to ever have to convert a pint of beer to a weight or another volume I am perfectly happy to keep drinking them in such a quantity
Other than that your take is about as accurate as the average American claiming to speak the 'American' language

the measurement in metric is probably better
the volume measurement in imperial is better
the weight in imperial is better
the temperature measurement in imperial is better

Fahrenheit > Celsius tho, I am a human, not water
you are majority water actually
RickyIndian [#56]12 in = 1 foot
that's fair, but Fahrenheit clears Celsius by a mile
yes freeze temp 0 degrees and heat temp 100 degrees is much easier than whatever the fuck the farenheit average temperature like 70 degrees or some shit
reycac [#60]you are majority water actually
isnt human DNA also like 89% similar to that of a banana too
Luck_ [#61]yes freeze temp 0 degrees and heat temp 100 degrees is much easier than whatever the fuck the farenheit average temperature like 70 degrees or some shit
32 + 32 = 32 according to the imperial system
