@@a64738 We tend to get taught metric alongside it, for me there was equal attention on both. The government can't be bothered to pay the considerable sum to actually change all the signs and standards in such a massive country and the taxpayers don't care enough to object, so they gave up and defined U.S. Customary in metric at the national institute for standards and what-have-you and stuck metric labels next to the old ones on the packaging of food, drink, and other assorted things. And we're not using drams and grains to measure pharmaceuticals, though we do use grains for ammunition. Some of this is frankly just screwing around, some is preference, but most is inertia.
I specifically know conversion rates from American standards of units and measures to metric because of projectile diameters and tank armor. 12.7mm is half an inch and everything goes from there, 152mm is 6 inches, the most common caliber for ammunition is 1/3 of an inch and almost every nation during ww2 used a 3 inch gun at 75/76mm.
The "big bad" Federal government won't let them ship their prisoners to fight Russians so we can see a fair fight between inmates. To be fair though, if it was allowed... their go half their combined electoral votes. Wouldn't surprise me if Florida comes out on top based on raw numbers sent over.

Yeah that's something people need to realize that Russia has more Naval vessels than they can realistically operate since the collapse of the USSR. A lot of these ships required specialized ports to get maintenance from, and those ports were in Ukraine. So many of their ships been in varying levels of disrepair since the collapse of the USSR that I think the ships have killed more Russian Naval servicemen in peace time than modern warfare has. Anyone remember the Kursk submarine incident? I'm more impressed the Russian ships even made it that far away from Russia, especially when Soviet naval doctrine put more emphasis on coastal defense, while still wasting resources on larger naval vessels in some misguided attempt to compete with larger Navys capable of operating away from their home countries.
Ehh, yeah, why do you think they brought their own tug and the US responded by tailing the Muskovites with a sea search and rescue vessel of the US Coast Guard instead of an actual warship! 😂 Though I do admit it would have been hillarious if the yankee tugs took the USS New Jersey on a scenic detour on her way back home to the museum anchorage after her drydocking 🤣

I remember when I went through several shocks when I learnt that 1. Cricket was Really big in India 2. Disney broadcasted sport events 3. They got really hit in the wallet when they lost the rights to broadcast cricket.
The shocking part is that it is Disney+ that did it. Sports streaming didn't really exist except as part of odd one-offs back then, and Disney+ is pretty strictly limited to family, Marvel, and Star Wars stuff (the ABC stuff was put onto Hulu and the ESPN stuff was put onto ESPN+, if it was put anywhere at all). So, it was a little odd to think of Disney+ of all services, being the main cricket streamer in India. @@BouncingZeus

Just so everyone knows the Soccer joke at the start of the video is funnier to me because the British invented the word soccer and we just adopted it from them
And we aren't even the only country that calls it Soccer. Canada, South Africa, Australia and the Republic of Ireland also use the word. Britain is that grouchy father that hates his younger days, but forgot he taught his children those traits and acts haughty seeing in his kids what he hates about himself.
Slavic Special Ed , I chuckled at that.😊😂I had a similar "we have a"" moment when I read my college's campus paper ( circa Jan 2008) and saw that my college had a rugby 🏉 team. With the exception of a football 🏈 team we had every sports team including a rowing team on campus ( hint of anyone is old enough to remember Hank Gathers , I attended that college)
In America's defense the limeys do use Stones and Hands as a form of measurement. I would love to see Habitual Linecrosser use one of those measurements in a later video to show how ridiculous measurements can be.
Technically speaking, the British made up the word soccer not the US to differentiate between rugby football (also called ruggers at the time) and association football( which is the normal football/soccer everyone is used to now). So the UK should be blaming itself
Of the 4 Rus Ships going to Cuba, 1 is a Fuel Tanker, and 1 is a TUG... I think I saw that the others are a Sub and a Cruiser.... both of which have not only US ships shadowing them but other aliy ships as well.
Not a cruiser. An Admiral Gorshkov class frigate, about the same displacement as a US Coast Guard Legend class cutter. They're relatively new and have a lot of VLS cells, but they're small enough the couast guard probably wouldn't have a problem sinking them with their 57mm Bofors.
I liked when I read the early reports that stated they were sending their aircraft carrier. They should have if they really wanted the world's attention. We'd all be checking daily to see if it sunk itself and Vegas would be going crazy adjusting the odds of it making back to Russian waters. "Did anyone have July 4th, early morning, a river in Argentina? Uh... electrical fire, and... sea turtles?"
They do shut you down pretty damn quick if you're late with your cable bill. The ironic part is those that pay and get their bills via internet and get it from the cable company. Can't get the bill. Can't pay it either.
The US doesn't have a standard way to measure s h i t. They just use whatever they have on hand. Sometimes its imperial, sometimes its metric, sometimes its how many bacons it would take to get from here to there.
The whole cricket line of jokes is hilarious for so many unintentional reason.... the best is England came up with the word Soccer and we adopted it because we also had American FootBall.... then they quit using it and "forgot" about it.
The Challenger 3 also has a new gun variant with new ammunition that so far is not installed on any other Nato tank. It's Rheinmetalls 120mm gun, but a new L55A1 version, together with new DM73 ammunition specifically designed for the A1 gun. That gun and ammunition was only introduced in 2019. It has a higher muzzle velocity than the normal L55 gun, namely 1780 meters per second. For comparison, the Abrams M256E1 gun has 1680 meters, with an *effective* engagement range of 4000 meters, while the British army found 5000 meters to be an effective range for the new Rheinmetall gun
While I acknowledge the simplicity of metric, the fact remains: as long as our money is the standard unit of measurement for value worldwide, I will continue to stand by all our other units of measurement.
Think of baseball, but the ball has to hit the ground once before it gets to the batter. Also the field is an oval rather than 1/4 arc or so. The bowler's (pitcher's) arm has to remain relatively straight until they release the ball.

@@Chris_Troxler I am not cultured in the Anime/manga world. Would you mind explaining what the difference between the two is?
@@harrisjordan7492 Anime is animation (the infamous "Japanese cartoons"), while manga is illustrated (like those book compilations of comic strips before print media started dying).
Anime is the Japanese equivalent of tv cartoons and manga is the Japanese version of comic books. Nuff said.
Fun fact 0:17, Britain was the country that coined and popularized the term "soccer". So when they brought the game over to America, the name Soccer stuck. So if you ever wonder why America calls it Soccer, blame Britain.
We were also getting a shipment of metric weights to use as well......before the british sunk the french ship carrying said weights. Wonder why we took so long to implement it? 🤔🤣
Well, everything before 1776 was Britian’s fault. Everything after 1776 is usually that fault of a democrat.

I remember when I went through several shocks when I learnt that
1. Cricket was Really big in India
2. Disney broadcasted sport events
3. They got really hit in the wallet when they lost the rights to broadcast cricket.
Why number 2? Disney owns ABC and ESPN lol They have sine 96.
Cricket is pretty big in most (obviously not all) former British colonies, as I understand it.
The shocking part is that it is Disney+ that did it. Sports streaming didn't really exist except as part of odd one-offs back then, and Disney+ is pretty strictly limited to family, Marvel, and Star Wars stuff (the ABC stuff was put onto Hulu and the ESPN stuff was put onto ESPN+, if it was put anywhere at all). So, it was a little odd to think of Disney+ of all services, being the main cricket streamer in India. @@BouncingZeus

“We have a cricket team?” 😂 I’m also asking
When did this happen?
Of course we do.
@@kingdomcome180 Its (the team and the word cup and matches) been planned for years. Knew about it like 1-2 years ago. Big Cricket Fan. Honestly all of us were shocked when Pakis got clapped.
I sort of assumed we did because we generally have a team for everything, no matter how obscure (to us). Like, we definitely have at least one curling team. However, I didn't look for concrete proof of the existence of said cricket team. It's nice to know :P
And they’re half Indian… 🇮🇳 lmao!!
Placed number 2 in group A as of the moment, gave India a run for its money! Kholi out in a single ball, Sharma out in a few after that? Me and my friends were shocked we did so bad
To be fair it would’ve been better for India has us won because then us plays again teams a like Australia and Afghanistan
If u can’t tell, I’m Indian :D
Britian: *Names a sport "soccer"*
America: *Accepts and adopts the name "soccer"*

Deep State's "Man landed on the Moon" is a hoax and fraud.
Just so everyone knows the Soccer joke at the start of the video is funnier to me because the British invented the word soccer and we just adopted it from them
And we aren't even the only country that calls it Soccer.
Canada, South Africa, Australia and the Republic of Ireland also use the word.
Britain is that grouchy father that hates his younger days, but forgot he taught his children those traits and acts haughty seeing in his kids what he hates about himself.
Just noticed you in the comments- You are 100% the best Carolina! Hello from the Pee Dee Region!
Slavic Special Ed , I chuckled at that.😊😂I had a similar "we have a"" moment when I read my college's campus paper ( circa Jan 2008) and saw that my college had a rugby 🏉 team. With the exception of a football 🏈 team we had every sports team including a rowing team on campus ( hint of anyone is old enough to remember Hank Gathers , I attended that college)
In America's defense the limeys do use Stones and Hands as a form of measurement. I would love to see Habitual Linecrosser use one of those measurements in a later video to show how ridiculous measurements can be.
the american system at least somewhat makes sense, still don't know what measurement a "stone" actually is

Thank the Lord that I do not have to do metric to Imperial conversions in my head anymore, thanks to you and TFE!
the average male American is 2.3 bald eagles tall, on averages
Technically speaking, the British made up the word soccer not the US to differentiate between rugby football (also called ruggers at the time) and association football( which is the normal football/soccer everyone is used to now). So the UK should be blaming itself
The UK is also why we have the gun laws we have but nobody on that side of the pond is ready for that conversation. xD
But then stuck up brits won't have anything to randomly bring up in unrelated conversations.
Of the 4 Rus Ships going to Cuba, 1 is a Fuel Tanker, and 1 is a TUG... I think I saw that the others are a Sub and a Cruiser.... both of which have not only US ships shadowing them but other aliy ships as well.
We are ready to make them coral reefs just to do our part to save the fishes :3
Not a cruiser. An Admiral Gorshkov class frigate, about the same displacement as a US Coast Guard Legend class cutter. They're relatively new and have a lot of VLS cells, but they're small enough the couast guard probably wouldn't have a problem sinking them with their 57mm Bofors.
I liked when I read the early reports that stated they were sending their aircraft carrier. They should have if they really wanted the world's attention. We'd all be checking daily to see if it sunk itself and Vegas would be going crazy adjusting the odds of it making back to Russian waters.
"Did anyone have July 4th, early morning, a river in Argentina? Uh... electrical fire, and... sea turtles?"
Don’t forget the surveillance aircraft and tanker above them keeping close watch

They do shut you down pretty damn quick if you're late with your cable bill. The ironic part is those that pay and get their bills via internet and get it from the cable company. Can't get the bill. Can't pay it either.
oh haha Britain....YOU GAVE US THE NAME SOCCER.
0:58 It's funny because Nasa and the US military use the metric system.
The US doesn't have a standard way to measure s h i t. They just use whatever they have on hand.
Sometimes its imperial, sometimes its metric, sometimes its how many bacons it would take to get from here to there.
Except on occasion when NASA uses both Imperial and metric and crashes on Mars.

Pretty good week. We won cricket against Pakistan. Russia lost 10% of the “stealthy” SU-57s. UK is developing a new Challenger. All is good. 😊👍
Where's Poland? Miss my country being called european Texas again. :)
The whole cricket line of jokes is hilarious for so many unintentional reason.... the best is England came up with the word Soccer and we adopted it because we also had American FootBall.... then they quit using it and "forgot" about it.
"I know. Some of you are good at drawing anime."
I feel this was overlooked in all the zingers in this one 🤣
I genuinely love the Challenger line of tanks; they're the sniper of the tank world and that's the most overkill thing I've ever heard of.
The Challenger 3 also has a new gun variant with new ammunition that so far is not installed on any other Nato tank.
It's Rheinmetalls 120mm gun, but a new L55A1 version, together with new DM73 ammunition specifically designed for the A1 gun. That gun and ammunition was only introduced in 2019. It has a higher muzzle velocity than the normal L55 gun, namely 1780 meters per second. For comparison, the Abrams M256E1 gun has 1680 meters, with an *effective* engagement range of 4000 meters, while the British army found 5000 meters to be an effective range for the new Rheinmetall gun
The Challengers have excellent armor as well as excellent guns and optics. The only shame is that there aren't more of them.
While I acknowledge the simplicity of metric, the fact remains: as long as our money is the standard unit of measurement for value worldwide, I will continue to stand by all our other units of measurement.

It’s like a worse version of baseball I think
@@ElijahNMitchell think baseball played like kickball using a paddle.
As an Ohioan I second this thought LMAO
Both yall wrong. Baseball is American cricket 🏏 let’s be honest here
Think of baseball, but the ball has to hit the ground once before it gets to the batter. Also the field is an oval rather than 1/4 arc or so. The bowler's (pitcher's) arm has to remain relatively straight until they release the ball.
Taiwan is not our boat, but if it goes offline, so do our boats (spare components)… ergo Don’t. Touch. Taiwan!
