Ok, but also

I'm convinced the Imperial system is like those languages they make up for fantasy novels. I've only ever witnessed it in D&D and it seems impractical to learn for the day to day.

I've been told the DDG results are the same as Google, yet every time I compare they are quite different.

I've been using DDG since Trump's first term, when Google started manipulating COVID search results if memory serves.

Here’s what I like about it:

But also turning off AI and location.

It's not fun that you have to use multiple search engines now. I mainly use Qwant and I qwant to like it but wow is it terrible.

Now do imaginary units

I don't know why you're all complaining. 1 mile = 3 muricaball fields = 24.7 Dodge™ Chargers = 2245.45 sausages = 3 thumbs-up (sponsored by Exxon and Doritos).

Its very simple.

its not google or Microsoft. that alone makes ddg far superior.

Used this all the time until I recently stumbled across the cli program units

Doesn't seem to work for volume, having tried gallons and teaspoons. But it works for length and mass/weight.

Seems useful for those cases you don't know what a furlong even measures.

I wonder how well it handles ounces.

Now that's obviously just plain incorrect. Everyone knows that real units are measured in bananas.

60 feet = 102.857 bananas

Yes, but:

How can you say its superior when it wont even tell me how many washing machines are in a giraffe.

Not loving the search engine but the phone browser is a life saver. I barely touch web sites on my phone, but fuck me, away from my home setup and Pihole, I want to scream.

Random, but what's with the Lettland toggle? I can see you're German, why is there a toggle that basically says "Latvia"?

put your conversions in krunner like the foss gods intended

I dunno bout you, but it's just easier to say 60ft than 18. 28m!

Kiloyard Yard Centiyard Milliyard

Easy fixed US Customary

No one would know 3 ceniyards would be equal to about an inch.

But see that's one of the main problems. US goes yard-feet-inch-fraction of inch. And Meteric goes meter-centimeter-millimeter. The feet-inch type measurement disappears and those are the most common for people in everyday life.

~3 decimeters in a foot.

I feel like if the meteric system used decimeters more it would have caught on.

My door frame needs to be 36 inches or 3 ft wide. ×3 = 9 Decimeters.

But if I give a measurement in decimeters to a person that uses metric it's like I'm using some kind of forbidden unit.

I use mojeek 😢

Where the machine is right, it's right.

Yet DDG still uses AI. Better use Startpage instead. It's like what Google used to be before they became shit and evil. I find it has better results than DDG, next to that they don't use AI. They also value privacy. And it's Dutch, so non American.
