  • Me, my wife, my child all have differently sized feet and hands.

    Tbh, as an european I kinda absorbed a lot of imperial by just living on the anglophone internet, and honestly have nothing good to say about it.

    I can intuitively guesstimate what a mile, yard, foot and inch are in metric, and I do, because it’s useful in my particular corner of the Internet, not because it’s a good system.

    I have no idea what a gallon, stone, lbs or oz are. Volume of itself is kinda unintuitive, same with weight. Can’t be bothered.

    I work 25min by foot from home, and while most of it is by busy carcentric streets, I can walk a bit through a park.

    If I drive a car I can get there in 10 minutes or 15-20 in a rush hour.

    I can ride a bike (my own or a city bike that’s free for under 15min) in 13min.

    Or I can either take a bus (25min) or a tram (around 30, because I need to walk further but less than a straight walk.

    I actively refuse to move to any “cheaper” new suburbs because then I would have to sit in a car for 80 minutes no matter how I feel about it that day.
