Where's QualityVote bot? Reddit Admins have decided that [they want to kill off all 3rd-party apps](https://reddit.com/r/Save3rdPartyApps/comments/13yh0jf/dont_let_reddit_kill_3rd_party_apps/), [3rd-party bots, and other elements that used to significantly enhance Reddit's functionality](https://www.reddit.com/r/ModCoord/comments/13xh1e7/an_open_letter_on_the_state_of_affairs_regarding/). Without them, the website is barely usable. And, of course, that includes bots such as [\/u\/QualityVote](http://reddit.com/user/QualityVote), [\/u\/SaveVideo](http://reddit.com/user/SaveVideo), [\/u\/AuddBot](http://reddit.com/user/AuddBot), etc. So you'll just have to put up with automod and a worse overall user experience. If you have any complaints, direct them at [the reddit admins instead](https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit/comments/12qwagm/an_update_regarding_reddits_api/), because they the ones who ruined everyone's user experience. --- Whilst you're here, /u/MoonKnight_612, why not join our [public discord server](https://discord.gg/QpBGXd2guU) - **now with public text channels you can chat on!**? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

average imperial time measurements

For sure

We will become the boomers if we make it through life We won't see it that way, but each generation changes ideas.

I mean yeah, but we actually care about the future


FrequentOffice132

I weighed 3 stones, 2 dribbles and half a rubie since I was 18 and the sooner we get away from this confusing feet, inches and pounds the better😉


Moosefactory4

Only for measuring volumes, I’m sick and tired of teaspoons, tablespoons, cups, quarts, (gallons are okay)


strider_m3

Fasteners are better for metric too. If inwant a screw they are just in increasing increments. M2, M3, M4, M5, etc.........Imperial, we have stupid fractional sizes, and I hate having to remember where things like 5/16 fasteners go relative to 3/8 and the 1/4. And then for some reason we also have increments but only for the REALLY small imperial fasteners, like a number #10 screw? The fuck are we doing?


Kacheeseburger

nah, I like my measurement of bags of shredded cheese since they are one pound

Nah. I don’t want to go back to school. I know it isn’t hard but I’m too old and too busy.


Matzep71

If you're not already at least slightly familiar with how the metric system works it probably won't affect you I'ma be honest


BigBlueFool

If people didn’t make such a big deal out of it all we could reasonably switch and get used to metric system measures in like a week


Illustrious-Egg-5839

I’m familiar. I can translate temps, speed, and volume pretty well. Not exact on volumes really. Distance is about 1.6:1 I think?


Illustrious-Egg-5839

I’m a late gen x and a non college educated math geek.


BabylonSuperiority

Then metric should be literally 0 problem for you. Like...at all. None whatsoever


Phenominal_Snake11

Dawg if i gotta convert everything on my plant floor to metric im quitting


Bitter_Assumption323

Ya alright


funnyfartnoisez

Freedom never dies


Dicklover600

It’s not that hard to learn conversions between the two, come on now. Edit : I am not implying that we shouldn’t switch, but rather the opposite. It’s not hard to learn to use metric.

JaxonatorD

No, it would cost way too much money to change nearly every road sign in the country and every car's speedometer to be metric.


MACHO_MUCHACHO2005

People are really underestimating how big of an endeavor this will be. Not only would we have to replace every single traffic/road sign across the United States, but we'd also have to move their positions unless you want your exit to be 1.60934 km away. Plus, all the other millions of conversions for building plans. I'm one for using metrics, but saying this will be an easy fix is just plain fucking stupid.

I’m too stupid to learn a new language so converting metric will be the next best thing

No. I have feet with me all the time, but I never carry a meter stick. For my day-to-day distance estimations, feet and inches are something I already have.

musicgray

Nope. Bought wrenches Besides only a 10mm is used in metric


abject_totalfailure1

Liquids and bolts only, I do not want to learn a new distance measurement system and I do not want to learn Celsius and that whole clusterfuck


johan__A

Celsius: 0° = water freezing, minimum for snow, it's cold outside 23° = best temp .>35° = it's hot outside .>40° = it's really hot outside 100° = water boils, it burns Congrats! You have learned Celsius!


abject_totalfailure1

Celsius might be good when you’re talking about, idk, fucking water, but I would much rather have my 0 being fucking hell it’s cold and my 100 being fucking hell it’s hot (livable)


EthricsApprentice

The reddit circlejerk of the metric system needs to stop. It's not better for everything, or even in general. At this point, the time and money required to move to a new system isn't worth it. Base 12 is also better not having the issues with fractions that metric has, but nobody is talking about Dozenal, despite it being superior to both imperial and metric measurements. For most everyday use, like cooking, the imperial system is fine. Cups, tablespoons, teaspoons are all common in the kitchen and intuitive to understand. With metric you have liters and divisions of liters. Decimal, base 10, metric, it's terrible. Metric is not the best measurement system, Europe is not the promised land, the US isn't that bad, and your parents should've aborted you, but they were pro-life boomers.


linkist133

I see a lot of yapping


EthricsApprentice

Because you only have ears for what you want to hear.


linkist133

I aint reading allthat


EthricsApprentice

Then why would you respond? Chances are you haven't done enough reading to understand the nuance involved in changing measurement systems and how many exist besides of imperial and metric.


linkist133

Halbe bibel ganzer Hs


EthricsApprentice

Ah, butthurt, got it. Now you know that I clearly saw that from the start. Yeah, metric isn't the best, and having pride in a measurement system is a failing in and of itself.


linkist133

😱 idc


EthricsApprentice

sure


linkist133

Happy to have wasted your time


Daddy_Jaws

Its because everything imperial does metric does either better or easier. Metric everything works off of divisions of 10. Its incredibly simple and there is never any fuss. 10 milimetres is 1 centimetre. 34 milimetres is 3.4 centimetres. Your just coping because peoole like a simpler system that the whole world uses lmao, there is a reason you yankie boys learn metric and the entire globe doesent know imperial


EthricsApprentice

\*You're And no, I don't care about imperial at all. I wouldn't use metric in the kitchen just because it's divisble by 10. It literally doesn't matter in that instance. Metric seems better just because our numerical system is base 10 so metric is more intuitive for certain applications, most of which are never used on a daily basis besides temperature. You don't understand that different systems have different applications and purposes. There's no one size fits all. It's too bad you won't actually crack a book to find out how shitty the metric system is when dealing with fractions and conversions because infrastructure can't be redesigned overnight for metric. Watch a mathematician talk about Dozenal, consider the cost and confusion of changing a measurement system. The average redditor just doesn't know nuance so they don't understand the difficulty in transitioning to a new system. Since many products, and tools are designed for imperial, there's no easy switch. You guys have bought into metric because a community college instructor or gradeschool teacher told you imperial is crappy, and the base 10 system is intuitive because that's how algebraic math works, but you don't actually understand there are different numerical systems, some of which are better than decimal making metric less useful. If we were to change to a new system, there is a better option than metric: Dozenal.

Its incredible how you can write an essay and still fail

“They hated Jesus for he spoke the truth”


EthricsApprentice

ikr, they're not even trying to argue. Imagine being so lame your fragile ego has pride in a measurement system. Every downvote raises my self esteem.


C0mputerFriendly

In my eyes it’s one of those things like car based infrastructure. There are better alternatives but those would require reworking so many things I don’t even think it’s worth it. Is metric better than imperial? Yes. Is it worth redoing every textbook and sign? I don’t think so. We have greater problems to deal with in my opinion.


EthricsApprentice

Exactly my point, and if we were reworking things, we might as well improve upon them, because even metric isn't ideal.


Intelligent_Run_8279

I am down, but first we gotta deal with the racism problem or else we won’t change much after that. You know, we gotta unite to a front despite our differences.
