@Anonymous: It looks like someone doesn't know about the Age of Imperialism

My ideal would be a system that was consistently based on powers of 2 or otherwise numbers with lots of small prime factors. 10 is arbitrary and lame. What's a fourth of 10? 2.5? dumb. 12 and 16 are both better. But consistency is also important.

@Anonymous: a base-12 measuring system would be THE BEST

@Anonymous: Yea, let's switch from the decimal system too!
DUODECIMAL
it's like decimal 2.0

@Anonymous: EW! WTF, man?! That dude has TWO LESS FINGERS than he should!

Still not as good as babylonian base 60 numbers.

They're why we do degrees in 360 and time in 60 too.

I've never really gave a shit about inches or feet because I learned them first and so I understand them better, but I learned DEGREES as in heat and coldness and stuff at a pretty late age (took till 5th grade) and I learned Celsius at the exact same time I learned Fahrenheit.

Fahrenheit is FUCKING. STUPID. The reason it's fucking stupid is simple. It's based on points that are INACCURATE.

See, in Celsius, water boils at 100° and freezes at 0°. This is why the scales are at where they are and that's the foundation for the system.

Fahrenheit supposed to be that human body temperature is 100° and water freezes at 0°. BOTH OF THESE POINTS ARE INCORRECT. Water freezes at around 32° and the human body is 98.6°.

Why the fuck does ANYBODY use F to measure ANYTHING? If you say it's more precise because the number span is larger, I'm going to fucking punch you.

Also, Kelvin is just Celsius minus -273.16° exactly. Now you know Kelvin, in case you've ever wanted to know for science reasons.

@bee: BEE I BLOODY LOVE YOU!

@Xeno_Mezphy: >still unclaimed
>implying that was you

@Anonymous: How's that?

@Anonymous: What the fuck are you going on about? No one thinks water freezes at 0 degrees Fahrenheit. It's also common knowledge that normal body temperature is around 98.6 degrees F. Everybody understands why Celsius is scaled the way that it is. Everyone learned this shit at 10 years old. Who do you think you're preaching to? Get real, homie.

@Anonymous: Read a history book, dumbas--

Oh wait right, American. Sorry. History is like kryptonite to you.

...is Superman before your time? Uh... it's like Garlic to a Vampire to--wait right. In America, Vampires sparkle and aren't weak to anything.

uh...

Shit I don't know how to talk to you.

@Anonymous:
>implying nationality determines if you can learn history

You know, if I had to only judge by Internet conversations alone, Europeans are probably the most xenophobic and racist people ever.

@Anonymous: I'M EUROPEAN
SON OF A BITCH AMERICAN
AMERICAN IS PIG
DO YOU WANT A HISTORY?
DO YOU WANT A SUPERMAN?
AMERICAN IS PIG DISGUSTING
FAHRENHEIT IS A MURDERER
FUCKING U.S.A

@Anonymous:
Well, isn't that the definition of xenophobia? Irrational hate or fear of another country or people?

@Anonymous: It isn't irrational if you're all a bunch of fucking wankers.

@Anonymous: google translate is a robot and robots have to be invented

@Anonymous: Sarcasm is also an invention of the French.

Remember back in the 90s when the US first discovered sarcasm, and in order to get it to work, they had to end their statements with "NOT!!!!!"

"Oh this is delicious... NOT!!!! HAHAHAHAH I'M HILARIOUS. GET IT?"
"No. :("
"HAHAHAHAHAHA IT'S SARCASM!"
