...water is not an element.
I'm just going to stop there.

Let's all just use Kelvins and stfu <_<

Did somebody mention Kelvins?

I just have to point a few things out.

1.) The chart comparison is 3 units of distance and one unit of weight on the US side, 2 units of distance and two units of weight on the other side. The US does have more that two units of weight, believe it or not.

2.) F and C are two different units of measuring temperature for two different purposes, but they're not the only units of measuring temperature. Also, who decided that the arbitrary temperature at which C is measured as zero was a "logical" base? F has a zero too you know, and it's the logical base for that unit of measurement as well.

3.) The whole of the rest of the world does not use D/M/Y, and the US is not the only country that uses M/D/Y.

That chart is :

A.) Not really funny.

B.) Inaccurate, biased, and uses intentionally leading words to describe the units of measurement that imply one arbitrary set of rules is more or less correct than any other.

Looks like someone just got schooled..

[Hyrist]

2 things.

1) Celsius uses Water as the base form of measurement because it is the most common construct used in all currently known forms of life.

2.) Base 10 forms of measurements meet the global mathematics standard that is shared even in US culture.

Regardless of what does and does not use which form, there is no point, in this stage of development of our global civilization, for us to be using multiple standards of description. Not in something as basic as math and measurement.

And yes, it was funny. US is the sometimes funny, sometimes drunken, sadly self-absorbed cousin of the world. This is speaking as a proud citizen of it. It's not bad that we're made light of. Heck, we do it to other countries all the time too.

lol This was brilliant!

[Riv]

Made of win lol

[ZakarnRosewood]

lol 0 C makes much more sense than 0 F. 0 Celcius is the temperature at which water freezes. But a good ol Canadian winter has one temp they can both agree on -40.
