Do you want to develop imperial measurements? Because that’s how you invent imperial measurements. Next thing you know you’ve got a cup that’s really good for measuring liquids and a couple spoons you like to scoop with…
Oh, certainly. I just enjoyed that, in a thread about the vagueness and oddness of the imperial system, the suggestion came up to use a casual approximation for the inch instead of the word “inch”.
Why not say ‘2-3 cm’ for the first one? Or ‘a couple centimeters’? It doesn’t feel too different from saying ‘about an inch’ to me
Taking it even further who the fuck uses inches or cms for vegetable cutting measurements anyway, it’s like, one or two fingers thick
Recipes I use regularly say “2cm chunks” and the like. I’ve never seen one measure in fingers.

We are talking about cutting vegetables maybe meat, the room for error is enormous…

Why not make it even more ambiguous by specifying the desired cutting width in “circumference of my dick”.
That’s too thin
Would that be flacid dick inches or erect dick inches?
Sure.
It’s to do with how I think about numbers, rounding, and margins of error. I don’t know how to express that better, I’m sorry.
I was not raised using inches for anything. It’s not a cultural thing, it’s a use case I’ve found them useful for.
