Are they forgetting about some of the cooking/baking measurements they used to have? wtf is a breakfastcupful, wineglass full (did they just have one standard wineglass?), a gill?, and a coffee-cupful?? Idk none of that seems very standardized

Not gonna lie. I love history, but not a single history teacher growing up made it nearly this interesting.

There are two kinds of industrialized countries in the world: 1. Ones that use the metric system -and- 2. Ones that have sent men to THE FUCKING MOON!

Fuck Lad :
metric is good on pen and paper. imperial (America's measurement system) is better in person. we measure in 2s, 4s, 8s because you can approximate those intuitively. e.i. try cutting a pizza into 10ths and see how that goes.

the number 12 is divisible by thirds. I challenge the metric system to give me an accurate one third measurement.
