who the fuck are these absolute twats that are simping over a system of measurement? good for you, your governance made a good choice, but it was hardly like OP invented it or was responsible for the adoption, so whoop de fuckin’ doo. or Le Whoop if you must convert.
we don’t like imperial, it’s not like you’ll find people (outside hicksville or maga) claiming to defend it’s superiority.
and get off your silly pretensions, for all your metric elegance the UK is still measuring shit in stones and miles.
Honestly who uses stone to measure their weight? And if we switched to km for roads tomorrow I’d be happy, might take a minute to adjust but it’s fine.
Nope. Household use in Europe is Gramm “g” and Kilogramm “kg” (often shortened to just “Kilo”). Maybe Ton “t” (metric ones, of course) if you are handling large loads like building materials, but nobody uses Megagramm “Mg”. Likewise with Gigagramm “Gg”, where one uses Kiloton “kt”. Not really SI, but still with the same conversion factors.
Going down from the Gramm, people use the Milligramm “mg”, often used in pharmacy related context.
Some Austrians (especially the older ones) still use Dekagramm “dg” or Deka, primarily in cooking and baking, but these are the only outliers. Anything else is just factor 1000 for each step.
Much easier than cups, ounces, pounds, and buttloads.

Every time metric vs imperial comes up on the internet there will be a gazillion Americans defending their system, claiming it is more “human” or some similar sort of nonsense. So yes, are a lot of Americans who will defend its alleged superiority.

pfft ok bud. there are schmucks in the UK that love stones. it’s a tiny minority on both sides.

Well the UK isn’t in Europe anymore. They moved away a couple years ago. Besides the best system is the French Revolutionary System
The UK isn’t in the EU anymore. As far as I know their island didn’t drift away from our continental plate.
hon hon hon mes oui yeah whatever

Brits, and only for body weight, as far as I know.
I just use kg, makes more sense
Heavily depends on the use case.
Yeah, sometime you use grams, or dekagrams, or hectograms
Or Megagrams and Gigagrams if you want to go bigger.

Mad?
Nah, about what? I didn’t make the decisions. you didn’t either, so if you’re proud, that’s fucking dumb too.

They use a blend of metric and imperial as do we.
the secret of the sauce is just the right blend. give them predictable units for most things then hit them with the hogshead when they get comfortable
