Temperature— 0 = cold (Fahrenheit) > 0 = water freezes = cold (Celsius). Height— an inch is based on the hand and a foot creates an anchor whereas centimeters require multiple anchors to reach understanding at a glance. Cooking— cups yields itself to cooking better than weight and volume, the difference typically won’t matter and using cups is cognitively easier. Time— 12-hour aligns with the human experience, am/pm is implicit lessening cognitive effort + most clocks are designed for 12-hour

Of course an ingrained method will always be better. I already mentioned that both work. The metric system is precise and pretty much universally used for scientific calculations but for the average person bias aside the American system (idk what it’s called) would be a better fit day to day

I’m curious when metric is better

(1/2) This entire argument of yours is laced with imperial unit bias lmao, the fact that you associate 0 degrees Celsius with the freezing point of water to indicate that it’s cold as opposed to just seeing 0 and thinking it’s cold the same way you do with Fahrenheit goes to show it. Also, wtf are you talking about when it comes to cooking??? Either way, metric is better because conversion of units when going to solids from liquids and vise versa isn’t as nearly as complicated

(2/2) And be real bro, who is actually using imperial units and thinking about their foot and hand length when doing measurements, especially when they vary so much from person to person? These “anchor points” of yours are inherently inaccurate and would never be useful in anything meaningful. Idk about the time thing being metric, but overall metric is hands down better in every way. You just grew up on imperial and that’s why you think it’s better
