Don't @ me, I just stole it. :(
From the same video i watched earlier?
It's showing more centimeters than inches
this feels like thinly disguised foot fetishist posting.
~~thinly disguised~~ blatant

Taritino posting.
oh yeah. I think I see the new shitpost meta emerging. I'll be eagerly awaiting TherapyGary's 3 page scientific write up on foot-philia as a product of the war on drugs

So instead of "imperial" we start calling it "foot fetish". Got it.
"Sexy" vs "Unsexy" measuring.
Hey just because you aren't into feet doesn't mean there aren't people who might the imperial system sexy.
More feet like this
I hope there was a bee involved in that picture.
Maybe, but probably McDonald's
Maybe Arbee's? Taco Beell? Starbeeucks?
The American foot is 38% thicker than the British foot.
In Europe people wear Boss, Armani, Versace, etc. In the US they wear McDonald's, Burger King, KFC.
Americans, to the British: "I learned it by watching you, dad!"
It probably worked because they had such a great empire and a kingdom wide standard. One of the biggest reasons why other countries got rid of these measurements was ambiguity and trade. At least every country had their own measurements, often differed by member states or even by city. (Although differences by city probably already were gone when metric came around)
Raven is responsible for the imperial system?
She's responsible for at least seven inches of it, by my current count.
Imagine if King Henry used his penis to measure things instead of his foot.
How many dicks in a yard?
African, or European?
Yoda would be into feet. He's so short and down there all the time, sniffin and making those strange happy satisfied noises. Just look at him.
Maybe not so into human feet, though.
And you wonder why Quentin Tarantino is an American filmmaker…
NSFW
How about Europe, Asia, South America, Africa, Austrilasia, and every country in North America except one?
So -
Rest of the world: Metric
USA: Imperial
?
There are three countries that use the Imperial system: U.S.A., Liberia, and Myranmar.
You don't usually think of those other two having their shit together.
Which two?
Burma has been switching to metric though. It's not there yet, especially with the civil war, but it's on its way.
I never had problems with feet, but i can't wait until the current foot-craze subsides.
It's like with everything these days. someone makes a mildly interesting/funny/sexy/whatever thing and for unfathomable reasons 12% of humanity or 96% of humans on the internet latch on to it and make it the core of their worldview/humour/identity until the next thing pops up.
STOP THE FEET
In the UK plenty of people, young and old, use imperial for a number of things, like feet and inches for height, miles for distance, stones for their weight, pints, acres etc.
I love feet, so yummy! 😋
Maybe the imperialists were on to something?
