WHY doesnt USA use Kilometer and other measurements?

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

Can't stand a documentary and it says some shyt like
.."The missile can travel.100km."
....which Is 62miles btw.

Why does America use Miles ,feet and not CM and Meters and KM?


Also when I heard a film actually say "the reptile measures 147cm" I wanted to jump through the screen .

I drove into Canada for the first time years and years ago and was like what’s the speed limit

Because the US is arrogant to the point of stupidity.

 

[3rdWorld]

America chose to be different just for the sake of it. Even US toilets flush in a different direction to the rest of the world.
Those imperial measurements are outdated and not as accurate as Metric.

It's been tried several times but it never caught on

Too ingrained now. I believe Carter tried.


And it’s a shame too. The US system of measurement is fukking stupid.

 

[Duke Wy Lin]

The metric system makes far more sense.
