Paul ArmstrongLooking to boycott US based stuff?
Start with the cultural imperialism: don't buy anything marked in gallons, feet, pounds etc. Even if it's dual marked.
Send a message that it's time to stop bending the rest of the world to the desires of the USA.

@thomholwerda actually, it's quite simple
0°C = water turns to ice
100°C = water turns to steam
-40°C = -40°F
Who the heck came up with 32°F for freezing and 212°F for evaporating?
Oh yes, the same people who came up with 12 inches to a foot, 3 feet to a yard, 1760 yards to a mile, etc etc. Total Hogwash, lol
allriteWhat's so remarkable about this? Most human babies are born with two feet. #gometric
Isaac CsandlPerhaps a way to get holdouts to accept the metric system would be to transitionally allow them to say unnecessarily complicated things like “12⅝ centimeters.”
Pablonius Monk 🇺🇦In the 70's, we learned both the Imperial and Metric Systems of Measurement and consequently are unfamiliar with either system.

Metric units have conquered the globe, but in the US and the UK, their presence has become part of a culture war between ‘traditional’ and ‘progressive’ values.

The battle of the standards: why the US and UK can’t stop fighting the metric system
Metric units have conquered the globe, but in the US and the UK, their presence has become part of a culture war between “traditional” and “progressive” values. This is an extract from James Vincent’s book Beyond Measure, a history of measurement.
