That legit seems like a huge amount of rolling you're gonna be doing with 12 full ounces of X.

>pinch of salt

well, what type of pinch?

>>17155115
You use your ass cheeks

>>17155124
The thought of salt entering the butt cheek area sounds extremely uncomfrtable.

>>17155115
>Your illegible thumbnail, sir.

>>17155134
Pussy

>>17155104
kek. OP is a retard.

>>17155134
you're a big guy

>>17155115
First one is the only pinch

>>17155361

Do you see distances written in feet and think "herpaderp, eveyone has different size feet, doe"? Words can have different meanings, you ESL tard.

A cup is eight ounces. It's something children learn before they hit a double digit age here. I'm sorry your European school failed you

>>17155099
A cup is 8oz, it doesn't mean "any random receptacle in the house" you fucktard

>>17155507
>distance written in leagues
>"dude, you can't measure things in football teams"

>>17155517
this from a country that's too fucking dumb to understand metric.

>>17155533
We all learn metric in early science classes as well. It's just not the standard. Again, I'm sorry about what they did to you

>>17155533
>he brags about knowing more than one language but is too retarded to learn more than one system of measurement and how to do conversions
Why are you idiots like this?

>>17155551
Why learn multiple ways to measure when the entire fucking world uses one way except for you dense fat gits

>>17155557
Why learn multiple languages when the entire world operates on English

>>17155151
>Three jaw chuck pinch

Because the entire world doesn't, America is not the world despite what you and your endless parade of dumb leaders say.

>>17155557
I'm Canadian, you twat. We learn both systems of measures because imperial is more ergonomic in human-scale applications and better suited for mental math. I'm sorry you're too retarded to understand. I'm sure there are remedial classes for it.

>>17155574
>imperial is more ergonomic
it simply isn't, in fact that is the dumbest thing I've ever seen wrote on this site.

>>17155571
He says on an English language forum hosted in the US where he has wasted countless precious hours of his life sending messages in English.

>>17155571
Nobody said anything about America.

>>17155584
Divide a liter by 3 or by 8.

>>17155584
There's a reason why old systems of measures developed the way they did. They were based on sizes relative to the average human being, so anyone could go anywhere and have a rough idea of what counted as an inch, a pint, a pound, etc.
This might have varied from region to region, which lead to its reputation as being inaccurate and inappropriate for merchants and scientists, but for the layman it had its value in how ergonomic it was.

>>17155598
0.33 and 0.125?
Not even that guy but did you fail elementary school or something

>>17155584
Fun fact: German 15cm naval cannons actually had a bore diameter of approximately 14.91cm, or exactly 5 and 7/8 inches. Metricization didn't change shit and people still used the old measures they were comfortable with.

>>17155616
.33 isnt correct.

Also, eyeball .125 liters of water

>>17155625
Fine its 0.33 repeating you asinine fuck

>>17155631
How is that ergonomic?

>>17155637
Again. I'm not the weirdo saying imperial doesn't have any use. But your question is stupid.

>>17155662
These are simple divisions that people have to do while measuring things every day.

Imperial is more properly suited for this process. People in manufacturing and science still use metric because it's better suited for that purpose.

Imperial is more ergonomic. There isn't even a question about it.

>>17155115
a pinch is about 1/16 teaspoon

>>17155679
Reread what i said.

>>17155533
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're shitposting. But if you're not, the reason we haven't completely converted to metric is entirely political. I mean could you possibly imagine a scenario where a democrat government tried to make all the highway signs display km insteald of mi? HO LEE SHIT they would run that story non stop on Fox news. "Git that commie BULLSHIT out of MY country" and so on. Democrats would immediately lose the senate, house, and white house and the repubs would instantly reverse everything. It's a fuckin miracle Bush was able to get our government agencies to work in metric at all

everyone learns metric in high school science

>>17155697
>Its le ebil fox News!
Okay retard

>>17155099
>Measuring by volume

>>17155533
Strange how you never see Americans making threads about not understanding metric. Actually, all our measuring cups/spoons/scales have metric on them because of course we can use both you fucking moron.

>>17155711
So you DONT think they would jump on that in a split second? It's tailor made to rile the base
sounds like youre the retard

>>17155598
Divide a pound by three or five. It's just a different base, and you can get used to eyeballing any measurement.

>>17155616
I think the point here is that you're not typically thinking "oh, I shall pour this liquid into 0.33mL portions" but rather "I'm going to divide this into 3 equal amounts". That tangent is more going along the lines of fractions versus decimals, though that argument tends to go hand in hand with imperial versus metric.
Whatever. It's easy enough to understand both.

>>17155697
>MUH POLITIKS
Road signs in the UK are still, to this date, all in miles. We changed them over to kilometres here in Canada because frankly despite our size we actually have a very simply laid out highway system with few signs on it since nobody needs an update every five minutes when the next place you're driving to is six hours away with nothing in between. The US highway system is quite a bit more complex, though it has some similar stretches, it's more similar to the convoluted UK layout.

>>17155900
I meant to type 0.33L portions, but who fucking cares at this point.

>>17155574
Based milk-bagger

>>17155697
It'd be an absolute fucking disaster but part of me really wants to see the meltdowns.

>>17155533
I probably have a better understanding of it than you do since I have an Engineering degree, but I prefer Imperial/US customary for everyday stuff. If metric was so superior, we'd be using stupid stuff like centidays, but we don't because 12 is more divisible than 10.

>get up at 35%, gotta get ready for work in fucking 1%
>end up having to stay late, it's gone 85% by the time you get home
>4% to make and eat dinner, decide to spend a few % shitposting
>ah fuck it's already 5%

>>17156009
I do this, but I literally have debilitating ocd

>>17155115
According to the media and ADL, the second one is correct. Anything else is Less Than OK.
