Yeah. it’s almost like I told you, the country officially switched. I also told you tradesmen and cooks switch back to imperial automatically. you’re presenting this like it isn’t exactly what i said to you. I was in the trades for years, all the foreigners that do the carpentry work in Vancouver do the exact same thing, Somali, French, Irish, Aussie, NZ, Mexican, Argentinian
You are talking about a country that switched recently and is still mixed because of that. It’s obviously different to countries that have been metric for a lot longer. Nobody here is using fahrenheit for cooking, that’d be bizarre.
Out of curiosity, what is the benefit, in your mine, for someone in my country to use fahrenheit for cooking? It makes zero sense to me, unless it’s somethint you’re used to.

No shit people use the country’s measurements. Do you think tradesmen in Finland use whatever imperial system uses? Of course they use metric since that’s the done thing and everything is in metric
“I don’t know what’s natural, but I live in Finland where we use the metric / SI system extensively. Some people don’t even know how long an inch is, let alone a foot.
Recently I was building a roof with an old, very experienced builder. Turns out that on construction sites, nails and planks are always discussed in inches, even when they’re actually metric. So a 60mm nail would be “a two point fiver” (“kakspuokki” or such in Finnish).” https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12241565. You can shut the fuck up anytime
It’s basically the names of them, you aren’t actually measuring anything in inches whatever else you guys use. Like I said, no clue.
Nobody knows how long those measurements are. A fancy tape measurement might have inches on it but as far as anyone is concerned, it’s just there to trip you up if you use the wrong side. It’s like car speedometers.

Hey, don’t be mad at me, nobody forced you to talk out of your ass. You chose to do that. Can’t be mad when everyone calls you out on it.
I’m still not over how you think we use fahrenheit for cooking. Why would you think such a thing lol
…for many purposes

I wouldn’t be surprised, everywhere else does. I really doubt you’re a carpenter, inches and feet simply work better in that trade.
Lmao you have no clue of the world outside of Canada and the US.
Which is alright in itself, but you are so confidently incorrect that it pains me.

Sorry dude, you’ve completely lost this argument. STFU
You seem quite angry even though you started this. Like I said, don’t blame me, I’m innocent here.
