what do you hate about whare u live?
Humidity
yea i was gonna make a video today and it started raining
I also hate rain but i hate 45 degree Celsius days during summer 
i hate people who use celsius and not fahrenheit
I hate sweating. 115 farenheit, 33% humidity is brutal. if it would rain though, i would be thrilled!
I hate that I don’t live walking distance from any bars.
i’d rather have that than the 100f/ 95% humidity here…
Randomly having 4 seasons in 1 day. 
Celsius rocks Fahrenheit. At least it’s based on something common that we can all relate to (boiling and melting points of water).
Also, metric system owns imperial. Come at me, bro.
Agreed. Metric system is the best 
haha, thats what Melbourne is famous for 
Fahrenheit and imperial are the most annoying things on the planet. They make no sense
It’s time for the US to get out of the dark ages and join the rest of the planet.
(but I have seen some people on here say they like metric better… and most trials records are measured in metric… so most people on here are cool:D)
The temperature thing doesn’t really matter, it’s what you’re used to. But for most other types of measuring, there’s no comparison to metric.
No kidding. I had to learn it in elementary school so I wouldn’t be caught out when the US finally caught up. That was in the 70s…
Yes, most sports use metric so they can be compared with the rest of the world. Even most American sports.
Don’t like rain? Move out here. It’s all on one half (or less) of the year. Gets a bit hot in the summer, but that’s well worth it with our non-freezing winters and beautiful spring/fall. What do I hate about where I live? Crime and small-minded people, I guess. If anyone knows how you can move away from those and still be near a city, let me know. I can’t dislike the weather here; I chose to live here!
I alway say things in metric, and then whoever I’m talking to is like “Uhhhh… what’s that in inches?” I also had to go to three stores to find a tape measure in metric (and even then it also had imperial on it).
Edit: I don’t care about temperature measurements though. And the thing I most dislike about Texas would have to be the summers, hands down.
I thought it would be 2 seasons actually. Winter & Summer.
I don’t think there’s anything I really dislike about where I live (Dartmoor, south-west England). Yes it rains quite a lot, but I’ve got a coat. I think I’d rather live somewhere damp and green than dry and desert-like, although sometimes I’m a bit jealous of the Californians’ seemingly predictable weather.
And bigger mountains would be nice, but I don’t think the Alps would fit on our little island.

agreed.
on a funnier note…
From an European point of view, the U.S. unit system seems quite complicated and impractical. The difficulty comes mainly from the fact, that large units seem to be an arbitrary multiple of the next smaller unit. For example, 3 feet equal to 1 yard, 1 foot equals to 12 inches, so 1 yard equals to 36 inches. The same is true for volume, where 1 gallon equals to 4 quarts, 8 pints, 16 cups, 256 tablespoons or 768 teaspoons.
edit: actually imperial is waYYYYYYYYYYY BETTER than the metric since 1 gallon = 768 teaspoooons
Is the imperial system a U.S one? I always thought it was a British system.
But why is it that distances are quoted in yards, miles etc etc, whilst heights are quoted in feet? Selective use of the same measurement system.
He is 6 feet tall.
200 yards down the road.
4 miles down the road.
Everest is about 29,000 feet high.
ohhh, oops i should’ve quoted that, i didn’t write it,
dunno if it’s US or not, all i know is it’s realllly really dumb haha.
Continuing the threadjack…
Metric is no less silly in that respect. People use a suitable unit for what they’re describing, depending on the accuracy required. The “proper” si metric unit for speed is metres per second, but outside acedemia people use km per hour. A running race would be 10,000 metres, but a bike race the same length would be 10 km. And furniture manufacturers insist on using mm to measure large objects, even when they are all round sizes of cm (they’ll always quote 1500mm instead of 1.5m).
People in the UK are sort of in the middle. Certainly people of my generation swap between metric and imperial as it suits us. I always think in miles and miles per hour, but will usually measure the size of things in metric units, unless they happen to be a nice round number of inches. Bike weights are always in lbs, but I’ll happily say I saved 200g by swapping a part. Cold temperatures are in centigrade/celcius (as in “brrr, it’s minus 5 today”) but hot temperatures are often in Farenheit (as in “whew, it’s 70 degrees outside”). We buy petrol in litres but think of fuel consumption in miles per gallon. Weight of people is in stones, not just pounds (or kg).
One freaky thing is the difference between Imperial and US pints. An imperial pint is 20 fluid ounces. An American pint is 16 fl oz, or one pound of water, which seems much more logical really. Quite a big difference for the “same” unit.
Metric units certainly make sense for calculations (my job would be far more complicated if we were still using the lsd currency system), but for everyday use it doesn’t really matter as long as other people know what you mean.
