Only telling people my height in cm from now on

Fun penis fact: if you tell people you're 6.5 inches, it sounds like you're trying too hard to get that last bit of length. If you instead say 17cm, that's just how long you are.

You're welcome, fellow penis owners.

You can see this was made by an American.

Because why would the European use decimals for their own height? Just so it rounds to the nearest inch? Unlikely.

Making me divide by 12: that’s a paddlin’.

Fuck your freedom units. I'll stick to sane units of measurement thank you.

I've gotten so sick of working with people in multiple timezones that I've just started using UTC for everything.

Fuck you for living in a different sliver of the planet. You aren't gonna make me do all the math. I'm bringing you down with me.

Let's see them tremble when daylight savings time ends.

That's 0.00934 furlongs!

Metric system:

• Tons of great subdivisions
• Continuously and exclusively use the same two or three prefixes for everything ever

0.093 cricket strips.

How I feel about meters per second that gets changed to miles per hour and I just want kilometers per hour

Do Europeans really give their height in cm? You'd think they short hand it like to like 1.7m or whatever since height is one of those things that doesn't really need to be exact and will change by a cm or so based on the kind of shoes you are wearing, or wearing shoes at all.

I just wish people would step up to a bigger scale when it's needed or to a smaller scale for the same reason. I hate seeing big massive boats measured in thousands upon thousands of centimeters instead of just using meters or feet, and it's annoying when people say their height in hundreds of millimeters.

Or when knife-blade thickness gets measured in hundredths of decimal inches or weird fractional measurements instead of just using millimeters since it's a smaller unit.

Mathless morons should be exiled to the middle of the saharan desert with a 5l bottle of water and a metric measure map to the nearest settlement

6'2"

Dividing by 12 isn't that difficult

He's 6'2" but I needed a calculator to figure it out.

He wants to do the math twice!

I don't get why Americans and some other countries don't use metric system. Guys! x10, x100, x1000 or mm, m, cm, km is way easier than 🦶, ", ', mile, yard or whatever weapon you use to hurt yourself lol. I know scientists get that, but its easy for them to convert anyway. Imagine that 120 cent is 1$ haha

I'm familiar with both, but only use inch for screen size and for some specific pipes that are made in ". And yeah, the guy from the picture is 188 cm tall or 1,88 m. Don't think anyone use 10th of the mm for that and even if they did they would probably say 1879,6 mm

How much is that in bananas?

That is one of the many many ways someone gets shot in American schools.

Man it's been 2 days since I saw this and it fucking gets me every time. 🤣

Now every time I remember how tall I am, I also* remember this.

All these comments, and I'm wondering who would ask someone about their height like this...it's pretty easy to estimate someone's height just by observation.

Don't disturbe the enemy when it is making a mistake.

Question, why do Europeans measure height in meters then centimeters(or just centimeters). It seems to make more sense to use decimeters then centimeters. Just one of those traditional things?
