I'm on team inch. I think the metric system has been pushed by Big Socket to sell more wrenches. If they made a meter equal a yard we could be bilingual and use the most appropriate system for the job.

Don't forget big nut!

Fact: the most often lost socket is a 10mm.

[–] RedAggroBest@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Then why am I finding nothing but 10mm when I need anything else? I swear I have 50.

Wtf is a yard?

Anyway sure we can make a meter equal a yard, that would be exactly 100cm
