    Okay, that chart is, like, 5 difference systems of measurement pretending to be one unit of measurement. The imperial system is bad, but it’s not quite as bad as that chart.

    That said, I like how most imperial units are at a scale that feel nice. Like, most things you measure in feet are no more than 10 feet long, most things you measure in yards are less than a dozen yards long. Also, it’s nice that at 0° F you know road salt isn’t gonna work.

      @Shkshkshk @ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling I work in the US for a company that has mostly European presence, and one of my key software tools was written for metric units, and they decided long ago not to bother properly supporting imperial units. So I am always looking for good conversion charts for our US production; this is by far the most intensely cursed chart I have found.
