Have you learned or do you feel that you have a good grasp of the metric system? When America catches up with the rest of the developed world and much if the undeveloped world in 2035 will you be ready?
The equivalent imperial measurement is 5.73 Rosteets.

Can you describe the sunset in lumens? @previous (M)

I use metric more than imperial. Helps me out especially when driving. I can't tell you what a mile away looks like, but I can tell you a kilometer away?

You know you need more than just the lux value to convert to lumens. Regardless, in the case of the British empire it would be an trick question and the answer would be 0lm (not taking moonlight into account), since the sun has set on the British empire. For the sake of argument, if we viewed Britain alone, using it's entire surface area, we could say around 97176353900lm.

@OP
The rest of the world will switch of Imperial system once America takes over the world. Manifest destiny, bud.

Anything that matters uses metric, even in USAmerica.
Road signs and talking about the length of your dick? Imperial.

I get so sick of taking off my shoes when I want to measure things in feet.

I like Minichan's way of measuring years. They do away with months, and instead have a sort of decimal time. E.g, "4.5 years ago". It's quite elegant.

Yes let's us a french system because everyone knows the french are worth changing our whole way of thinking about math.

@614,259 (RWBY Rhubarb? !!iNo3FkiZx) The Board measures time in a weird way. For instance, the "Everybody reply to this thread" thread already says it was posted two years ago, but there's still about a month left until the first post is two years old. The Board is trying to decimalize time, but it is making some rounding errors.

@previous (W) The Board may be in a timeloop that is slightly askew.
We should ask r04r to adjust thrust on the miniloop.

Reverse the polarity.

@614,281 (brie⭐️ !uXWPG0MygI) The Board is in FOUR-CORNERED ROTATION through multiple timeloops ignoring FOUR SIMULTANEOUS DAYS it simultaneously inhabits. That is probably causing the rounding error.

Well, when you're putting forward a time measurement as cutting edge as this, you have to expect a few flaws.

As an often Spacey MC user I need to point out how Metrics failed and cost Planet Earth the loss of
Mars Climate Orbiter. Just months prior to Millennials.
In the propulsion software Lockheed used English units of measurement and the software NASA used via JPL labs used Metrics in the parsed software.
So spacecraft arrives at Mars and engines fire and Ooooooops sooner then later crash n burn.
