>>3234280Science major college fag, in my courses they pound the metric system into us like a giant nigger cock in an asian girl's ass. You can thank the British for our Imperial-based system, faggots used to run the planet like it was their real-estate, then got cucked by the Frenchy systems of measurement and converted, and overtime evolved the metric system to its present status. I like the metric system better desu, except for Celsius units, I feel Fahrenheit is more detailed when it comes to temperature units in the Earth's atmosphere, while Celsius is probably better for space and other celestial bodies since Kelvins are based off of Celsius units.
From memory right now I know that:
39.37 inches = 1 meter (also know that the meter is based off of the distance light travels in 1/299,000,000 of a second or something like that)
1000 meters = 1 km
1 mile = 5,280ft
1km = 3,280ft roughly
100 cm = 1 meter
2.54 cm = 1 inch
3.78 liters = 1 US gallon roughly
1000 mL = 1 liter
1 kg = 2.20 US lbs roughly
1000 grams = 1 kg
1000 milligrams = 1 gram
100C = 212F (boiling point of water in Earth atm pressure under normal conditions)
0C = 32F (freezing point of water on Earth under normal conditions)
-40F = -40C (cross-over point on the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales)
Kelvin can be converted by adding 273.15 to the temperature in Celsius
I am 183.4cm tall = roughly 72.25 inches
The mountains in my area are all over 2000m in elevation, 1.25-1.5 miles asl roughly
100 mph = 160 kmh roughly
They pound into your ass if you are a science major in US college.
