this feels like thinly disguised foot fetishist posting.

oh yeah. I think I see the new shitpost meta emerging. I'll be eagerly awaiting TherapyGary's 3 page scientific write up on foot-philia as a product of the war on drugs

Why though? Why prosecute people for who they are? Just because you don't like their ethnicity / gender / kink / fetish / sexual orientation doesn't make you better than them. Shame on you mate. At least your name checks out.

Just because I tell you to stop shaming people for their fetish doesn't mean it's my fetish. Grow up. Shaming people for who they are is what fascists do.

So instead of "imperial" we start calling it "foot fetish". Got it.

Hey just because you aren't into feet doesn't mean there aren't people who might the imperial system sexy.

It probably worked because they had such a great empire and a kingdom wide standard. One of the biggest reasons why other countries got rid of these measurements was ambiguity and trade. At least every country had their own measurements, often differed by member states or even by city. (Although differences by city probably already were gone when metric came around)

Yoda would be into feet. He's so short and down there all the time, sniffin and making those strange happy satisfied noises. Just look at him.

How about Europe, Asia, South America, Africa, Austrilasia, and every country in North America except one?

There are three countries that use the Imperial system: U.S.A., Liberia, and Myranmar.

Burma has been switching to metric though. It's not there yet, especially with the civil war, but it's on its way.

I never had problems with feet, but i can't wait until the current foot-craze subsides.
It's like with everything these days. someone makes a mildly interesting/funny/sexy/whatever thing and for unfathomable reasons 12% of humanity or 96% of humans on the internet latch on to it and make it the core of their worldview/humour/identity until the next thing pops up.

STOP THE FEET

And you wonder why Quentin Tarantino is an American filmmaker…

ELI5: How foot, inch, fahrenheit, cup, teespoon is defined (without using SI System). How long is one foot?

Feet is relative to the distance you walk - with your feet.

No don't ask me how it works or whose foot was measured or why it isn't strides.
