ELI5: Why some people use term "freedom units" for "imperial units"? They are the same (except gallon and bushel, whatever that may be).

replies:
Can confirm. I have no idea how much I weigh, my height, or what the temperature is outside of imperial units and Fahrenheit.
Ill admit I use Centigrade..
replies:
I would be terrified too if i saw someone use C°
°C is a much better way to measure temperature
We measure drugs, pools, and PC temps in metric
Grams for drugs unless it's seized by the police, then it's kilos 😂
Pools in meters (or yards depending on location)
And PC temps are always Celsius
Metric isn't scary, we just use it for random things and it makes no sense
We also do alcohol in ml (750ml bottles are standard) unless it's beer which is usually in 12oz cans.
Nothing makes sense
replies:
Really? Stone. Shall I go on?
1kg = double it and add a little lb
1lb = just under half kg
1cm = just under half in
1in = a little more than double cm
F vs C = give up
replies:
Metric is for mass and Freedom Units™ are for weight. Because using the same unit of measure for both like metric does just because they happen to be on earth is stupid.

also 24 hr clock (military time)

Yawn.
Like this is the first time OP has heard of other units.
Why do you use Celsius when Kelvin exists?
Most likely I learned metric long before OP was even born, in the US ( it's been taught in the US since the late 60's).
You want us to throw away all our tools overnight? Recalculate every recipe, re-tool every process (with concomitant errors), etc, etc, etc, overnight? Are you paying for this?
