| Did visiting the moon damage your hearing? Last I checked there haven’t been any Americans on the moon for over half a century. Perhaps if you used the metric system… |

Your metric system is for people who need to have things simplified in order for them to be understandable and relatable. It's about as dumbed down as you can make something. Lowest common denominator type stuff. Americans have always thrived on challenge and that is why we stupidly cling to the complexity of the SAE system of units. It fits so we sits. | |

| ▲ | antonvs 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | Yes but their US contractors don’t all use metric, which is what caused them to miss Mars that one time. | | |
