Fuck your freedom units. I'll stick to sane units of measurement thank you.
So you use SI units?
Most of them, I hadn't heard of the term until your reply., never used Kelvin, mole or candela before.
Personally I find 6 big unit + 2 small unit easier to visualize compared to a large number of small units π€·ββοΈ
That's because your conditioned to do so. If you grow up with cm as your default height measurement it's just as natural as your 4 foot 6 or whatever. 180cm i can easily visualise, it's not that either is inherently better (although you know in your heart the metric system is superior π)
Yeah, the adult range is roughly 150cm for a tiny woman, up to 200cm for a towering man. 170cm is pretty average for a woman. 180cm is pretty average for a man.
So, 188cm is already a rather tall man.
That's the joke: 188cm (ignore the mm) are 1m 88, easy as pie. Meanwhile inches to feet...
188cm is 1m + 88cm or 2m - 12cm
Use decimetres I guess
everyone is gonna look at you funny but you'll have your medium sized units
18 big unit + 7 small unit
