    Why can’t Americans just be normal and use the metric system rather than some shit like 5’11 120 lbs? What the heck is that

        The stone isn’t since it’s not metric but the height legitimately is since I can just drop the e9 and get a reasonable height.

        Since, yknow, metric makes sense.

            Well, as the „n“ just stands for „E-9“ it really just says 1.8 m

            1.8e9nm means 1.8*10^9nm, which is 1.8m.

        It’s funny, you try and be intentionally obtuse with the nano units, except doing it in metric doesn’t work since “1.8” is still there.

      I’ll help explain:

      5’11 is like 9’11 and describes the sidereal period when he was born.

      The lbs in 120 lbs is for Likable Behavior Scale units. He’s just saying his brother scored very high and is very likable.

      The truth is that all Americans are comfortable with the metric system but we still use Imperial when we know it will bother you.

        You guys crashed a probe into Mars the last time you tried to use metric.

          And that’s why Imperial is better, Metric just crashes spacecraft into planets.

        Blame the British, both for inventing the system and for being so insufferable that we refused to change to metric along with them

          They didn’t fully switch. The chart of measurements used by the British is very… random.

      120lbs = 54.4Kg
