What volume does one pound of water have? How long are the sides of a cube of that volume?
How much energy do you need to raise a one pound object up by one yard?
In the respective metric units the answer to these conversions is either 1 or a factor of 10
How many of those conversions are a factor of 8 or 12?
Metric is a lot more then just meters and centimeters and all of those conversions make sense

You kissed the part about cut/sew I guess. That is all information I don’t need in my day to day existence. If I did need it I’d use metric because it’s good for that. For my needs measuring things on the table or around the house inches work better for me. My point was if there was a common reference between systems we could speak between them, but my original point was that if you say you like inches you’ll never hear the end of it from lemmy.
