can we please just switch to metric so that trades jobs in the US dont have to buy two fucking sets of every tool
having to have two sets of wrenches, ratchets, allen keys, driver bits, sockets, chisels, calipers, consumables, etc is so fucking cool, so efficient, love it
“oh but americans are resistant to change, learning new measurements would take time”
too fucking bad its worth it and it needs to happen and it shouldve happened decades ago
right like so much of the resistance from the average person is “well i dont wanna, customary measurements are AMERICAN” like… youll do just fine with metric
itll take some time but itll be fine, its not a big deal for the average person
for industrial and scientific purposes, the US has already gone through a mixed bag of metrification, going full metric is mostly stalled by inertia. a wide push for metrification would…. actually not be prohibitively difficult for the industrial and scientific sectors
i just want one fuckin system and not to have a bunch of required duplicate tools

in pathology we already use exclusively metric & tbh it is. far easier to work with and im always baffled that even in just a medical setting each department is kindof… using whichever set of units they want instead of everyone being on the same page

Canada does this too… We also straight up don’t learn a standard date writing method (like m/d/y vs d/m/y) bc we are so close to u guys. In school we had a unit on how to tell them apart that was basically “hopefully the day # is bigger than 12 :)”
