Metric in logic, but standard measurements are ingrained into my brain so it's more practical. I think that sucks.

I always preferred metric and Celsius. When I lived in South Korea, I was able to adapt immediately. Now I live in Europe and it makes all of the conversions easier.

Americans resistant to metric, in my opinion, are not very smart.

the range of average surface temperatures seen throughout the year in the contiguous US.

So give it a few more years of global warming and you won't want to use that anymore either.

Be thankful you at least stick to one system.

I'm British so we use some weird mash up of everything.

Weight - imperial when weighing people, fruit and veg (from a market), metric when weighing everything else.

Height - imperial when measuring people, metric with everything else.

Distance - imperial when walking or driving. Metric when running.

Fluids - imperial for milk and beer. Metric for wine and soft drinks. We fill our cars with litres of petrol but calculate fuel economy in miles per gallon.

The A system is superior to any american shenanigans!

A4 paper size FTW!

Metric. All day, every day.

I normally don't talk about this in public. 

But I'm Bimeasurable. I go both ways. Sometimes at the same time. That 7 inch 5mm I got packing is exciting.

Metric. I do a lot of woodworking and auto repair and anytime I have to use not metric it's annoying

I'm used to Imperial but metric is objectively better and easier to use.

Metric. Imperial is a fucking mess. At least with Metric, most size measurements are 10 to the power of something.

Metric for most measurements except temperature (Fahrenheit - same reason you gave) and colloquial distances/velocities (e.g miles to the store, miles per hour).

Metric 100% when I'm working with mechanical stuff my mind works in metric but my brain has been poisoned to use imperial in other things and I actually really dislike it.

Metric seems to be the superior measurement. Problem is , I can visualize 6in and NOT 6cm.

It depends on what I'm doing.

Baking: metric - grams on a food scale help me replicate recipes perfectly.

Cooking meat: standard - 140°F steak, 165 chicken

3D printing: metric always

Woodworking/household: standard - inches are just the standard for all the things. Wood, curtains, hardware, etc

Mechanical: ??/?? Depends on where it's made! I hate having to switch wrenches or sockets due to the wrong standard.

Metric. I've had my phone set up to display the temperature in Celsius for the last ~8 years so that I can get a sense of it without doing math all the time.

100% metric

I use metric when working on personal projects and cad, I would vote yes if a miracle happened and switching all of the us to metric was on the ballot.

Metric - so much easier to understand and work with. I personally hate the imperial system, but I know it because of where I grew up. I would shed no tears if the U.S. switched to metric tomorrow.

Same as you. I agree on Fahrenheit on the same principle, but it's not that big of a deal and °C isn't that hard to adjust to.

I prefer metric, it just makes more sense. Also having to add fractions in order to measure something is maddening. 10 1/4" + 4 17/32" vs. 260mm + 115mm

Metric system 100% of the way.

Imperial system (or whatever the US system is called ) should go away. Let's all just one standard.

Unfortunately, since I'm from the US, I only really know this one, and it's hard to switch when nothing else has switched. I'd put up with the pain of switching though.

Between all the science classes and the love of building PCs I'm all in on the metrics system.

For F and C, C is better for things like cooking, where what water is doing is useful. F is better for what we feel. Low numbers feel cold, hot temperatures (approaching 100) feel hot. I know people get used to C, if you're using it every day, but I still think F is the better system for it. That doesn't mean we should use it though. I think we should just switch to C and deal with it.

Metric all the way

I have my phone set to show me the temperature in Celsius. I've tried really hard to internalize how far a kilometer is, and have failed so I still have my distance units set to miles.

Metric. I’m a mechanical engineer. I absolutely hate the amount of extra work i have to do because this country idiotically still uses USCS / standard. Every American company I’ve worked for is metric, but suppliers are often standard only.

My digital micrometer has a button for switching between regular and metric I don't give a single fuck

Excluding a few examples like frequently used gym weights, common fastener sizes, and short distances, I still have to do rough conversions in my head to have an idea of what a metric measurement is, so I guess I'd say imperial.

But I wouldn't be upset if the US converted to metric.

Weight of human beings, weights at the gym, etc.: pounds

Height of people: feet and inches

Height of buildings: mostly feet, but occasionally meters.

Depth of water in scuba: meters

Kitchen weight: grams

Kitchen volume: fluid ounces only between 0-128 oz, then gallons after that. Decimal places, not fractions. So for example, cocktail recipes should all be in ounces, no tablespoons or teaspoons.

Distances in wilderness: meters/km

Distances on a football field: yards

Distances on a basketball court: feet

Distances on roads or in cities: miles

All temps in Fahrenheit.

Energy in calories for food and heat, watt hours for electricity, joules for everything else.

As of today, I am completely unable to estimate or visualize metric values with the exception of the meter (because it is roughly the same as a yard). That said, I would prefer to switch to metric and get used to it rather than continue using our current measurements. It would be vastly preferable to me to use mm and cm over fractions of an inch (I hate fractions, I much prefer decimals).

For temperature, I still prefer F over C. As you said, F is much more metric-like with a 100 degree range that roughly spans the typical weather environments we live in. And considering that the boiling point of water is only 100 C at sea level, that fact is no more valuable than remember that water boils at 212 F at sea level. The reality is, I don't actually care what specific temperature water boils or freezes at (at any particular elevation). I happen to know what the values are in both C and F, but it doesn't matter in my life (except for when I was trying to bake when living in Colorado).

I would prefer that we had continued on the path of converting to metric until Reagan killed it.

Metric

Raised in imperial land but studied science in college, so I prefer metric for almost everything other than talking about large distances.

PhD in stem, also Murican, I use the metric system. I also have the conversions memorized, like 1 inch is 2.54 cm.

I tend to use metric when I'm designing 3D models.

In woodworking and other linear measurements, I use imperial units.

Celsius for my 3D printer, but Fahrenheit for weather.

Driving is miles.

In cooking I use imperial units.

Metric for Physics.

The only reason I prefer Freedom Units is because that's what I've grown up with and know. If I had grown up using metric, I would choose that all day. It just makes more sense, there's no random "12 inches to a foot" or "16 tablespoons to a cup" (I had to look this one up).

Metric is easy. A decameter is 10 meters. There are 10 decimeters in a meter. Each step up or down is 10 of the previous.

I've converted to metric as an adult. Including Celsius. Does it piss my wife off? Yes. It's better though

Most often I don't get a choice. There is one system that makes sense for this because it is already in use.

My house was made in a standard system - the studs are 16 inches on center. The pipes are half inch (there is nothing half inch about pipes if you measure them). Using metric would be a big pain because the house was designed around standard measurements and so things are much easier to stick with it.

Our roads are standard. I can set my speedometer to metric - but then I'm in danger of breaking the law if I forget to convert. I tell someone "go X km and turn right" - but they won't know what a km is, and their odometer won't tell them either.

I work with farmers in Candada who measure crop yields in kg/acre because their local elevator buys their crop by the kg, and their land was measured in acres long before the country went metric - this is mostly about where they put the roads so land makes more sense when you measure in standard even though everything else in the country is metric.

I use metric where there is no reason in the real world to do otherwise. Which means I mostly don't use metric because almost everything I do deals with the world around me.

It depends how you mean it. I prefer Imperial measurements because they’re what I’m used to but I honestly think the U.S. should join the rest of the world and use the Metric system.

I like cm and meters, also like feet and inches.

When I make bread, it's grams and kg for sure.

My phone tells me the temp in C, but I understand F better.

I freaking love the cups to pints to quarts to gallons thing though. It's archaic and beautiful. Gallon divides easily into 4 quarts, 8 pints, 16 cups. 128 oz. I like that doubling pattern. 8 pints in a gallon 8 ounces in a cup, it's just fundamentally pleasant in some way.

I much prefer metric, but I live in the US so the Imperial units are what I grew up with and can work with most easily. The rest of the world uses metric, so I end up dealing with metric units quite a lot too. I have gotten to the point where I have a fairly good intuitive grasp of most metric units. I almost always use metric when I'm measuring things for my own use.

I do prefer Celsius to Fahrenheit for temperature. Fahrenheit may have made sense in the era and location where it was created, but in the larger world, where climate change is well underway, it no longer fits. The idea that the normal range of temperature fit into 0 F to 100 F was never true outside of the temperate zones. Just within the lower 48 states in the US we regularly experience temperatures above 110 F in the south and below 0 F in the north.

Also, it has always been true that the temperature that matters most is the freezing point. Putting that at 32 has never made any sense.

It frustrates me that the US came so close to adopting metric, then backed away, while the rest of the world moved forward. Now we're stuck with the worst of both systems.

Prefer metric. So much easier conversions. However, it is hard for me to think long distances and weight in terms of metric, on the fly, and ambient temperature.

Also a lot of tools are still in "standard" so have no choice but to use it.

metric for math, F for temperature, whatever the fuck ounces/cups are for cooking because thats what my measuring receptacles say

I'm comfortable working in both systems, I prefer standard for furniture building because I need to divide by 3 or 4 more often than by 5. I'm also going to fly in knots, nautical miles and feet of altitude.

Metric ARE standard measurments, the others are wierd.

Metric for everything but temperature because 69F is nice.

I use both all the time, prefer metric

metric, since i was in the stems. people would freak out if you use kelvin.

I do like metric for a few things distance and mass. Temperature I prefer Standard when cooking or asking about the weather. Scientific metric is much neater and handy. When talking pressure I understand/like PSI better than Pascal.

woodworking, house stuff, cooking, imperial all the way.

engineering, modeling, etc, metric city.

Used to Imperiel, especially with fluid amounts and temperature. It can die in a fire when talking about dimensions though. For example, when trying to figure out what the one up or down size of a socket wrench is is infuriating in fractuons. Metric is so much easier.

Talking about distance, miles.

The limited wood working that I do, Metric. It's just easier to calculate.

Measuring things for other purposes, such as measuring windows for blinds... Imperial, because most places use it.

I prefer metric for stuff I can use it for but in my industry everything small is measured in thousandths of an inch and everything big is measured in inches + fractions of inches so I usually use that in my day to day.

I prefer metric but the C vs F I’m completely indifferent
