Don't make me start measuring things in decifeet just to be contrary. I have a measuring tape dividing the foot in tenths and I'm not afraid to use it.

Hey hey, US customary units are metric:

The majority of U.S. customary units were redefined in terms of the meter and kilogram with the Mendenhall Order of 1893 and, in practice, for many years before.

They just use weird provincial conversion factors, that's all.

[–] wieson@feddit.org 10 points 21 hours ago (3 children)

They could be more metric. Just imagine this wonderful reality:

  • 1 inch = 2,5cm
  • -> 1 hand = 10cm
  • 1 foot = 30cm
  • 1 yard = 1 m (=3ft+1hd)
  • 1 pound = 500g = ½kg
  • 1 thou = 25μm

Funny thing is here in the Netherlands some people use pounds and ounces ( pond and ons in Dutch ) when they buy meat at the butcher. 1 pond = 500 gram, 1 ons = 100 gram

Deka and Hecto are the metric system’s unloved children

[–] mumblerfish@lemmy.world 15 points 22 hours ago

Hecto used to be popular in sweden until like 2000 or so, when it came to food. Especially candy and charcuterie were priced and ordered in "hekto" (the "gram" dropped in speech).
