How tall are you?

[DeoNaught]

Erm... perhaps? I think I've been 172cm since I was 18
Well, on the positive side, people not so tall have way less back pain problems.

Yeah, because short ppl dont have to bend down to hear ppl, like tall people.

Im like 1.8 meters
I just thought I should put it in the other format

 

[Alkéryn]

I stopped growing since I passed 17. In fact, I wear exactly the same size of pants, shoes, and shirts since then. My oldest evidence of my height was in 2011, and I was only 4 cm smaller.

Well from 15 to 18 yo i was stuck at 170 cm and my foot weren't growing anymore too
and this year i took 10 cm at once, my foot didn't moove tough so yeah

Your metric system doesn't mean anything to my American eyes. I just imagine a bunch of hobbits posting.

If you're using the metric system, at least use meters.

Lmao, just lmao.
100cm = 1m
Is that too hard to understand?
Imperial system really fucked with people's head.

I'm 185cm.

Nah, we have a thing here for people that can't multiply by ten.

It's very hard to understand. It's not like I'm a perfectionist and just want meters to be used for height since why should I be entitled to my own opinion. That's such an absurd claim to make! And yes, the imperial system has lowered my intelligence by a landslide since you're definitely not a metric elitist.

Well it is because metric come from france so we have
Kilo (for thousand)
deci for dizième (tenth)
centi, that come from centième (for hundredth)
mili that come from millième (for thousandth)
etc anyway they are all here

and here are the metrics for computer units https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibibyte

Quite understandable and natural also in Spanish, and perhaps any latin derivative language.
You don't even need to think, everything is there in the name.

Though we never use deci
like sometime we do but no one likes it and it isn't used very often xD

Even mega comes from million but yeah just learn the table and you are good to go

though in school we always use meter scince we do science so we were with value like

1.03 x 10^3 m
or 4.6 x 10^-25 m / kg / s / any unit really

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

The Scientific units (when using scientific values are)
The Metter
Kilo grams
Seconds
SI (scientific unit)
And meter per second

and everything is scaled to that

actually the SI unit of mass is the kilogram and not the gram

The only thing that sucks about the imperial system here in the US is that you have to have two tool sets for everything. One "standard" the other metric. Most people own foreign and domestic cars. If you have a Ford and a Honda, you have double the tools.

 

[Alkéryn]

So for any scientific measurement you write them this way

x.xx * 10^ y SI_Unit
where x.xx is the number of significative digits
and y is a power can be negative / positive or 0 but in such case we tend to avoid using the power

That's just scientific notation. We use that as well

Well in europe we don't learn the imperial system at all
i learnt few of it by myself due to internet forum
but i find it really unlogical

and even if i ask you 20 hundred feet in yards or miles you will have trouble giving an exact number since they aren't scale

if i ask let say 125 Meter in nanometer i could give you an answere in a second
because i know nanometer are 10^-9 m
so it will be 125 x 10^9 nm

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

That's just scientific notation. We use that as well

the thing is that in class we use almost only sientific notation

Yard = feet x 3

Yeah, it is irrational though

Great

Kilometer = meter x 1000
meter = centimeter x 100
centimeter = millimeter x 10
etc ...
that's easier even to compute

What i hate the worst though is your farenheit temperature
gosh use celsius or kelvin xD
