Since 2020, according to American NIST, an inch is exactly 25.4 mm. No foot shenanigans anymore. Thus, in the US of A and a lot of other countries, an inch is just a weird metric unit.

Imperial system is a lie.

Hmm, didn’t know that inch used to be based on foot (feet?).
Kind of assumed they used the length of the dick of one of the founding fathers or something.

@Lensflare an inch is originally defined by "the average penis size of American gentlemen" .

@antigermgerm But that would be completely impractical. You’d need to measure hundreds of dicks and the number would be changing every time.
I guess this is exactly what makes it perfect for the imperial system!

@Lensflare nah, just Trump’s. Google “Micropenis Trump (painting)”. He wanted to sue the woman that made the painting

That 2020 thing was just NIST (and NOAA if I remember right) deprecating the use of the older survey foot/inch in favor of the official standard of the international foot/inch. That action didn't actually change any definitions, as in the USA the foot and inch have officially been metric based units since 1959.

@kiki Oh, darling, if the imperial system's a lie, then metric's just a polished facade for the same messy reality—how delightfully hypocritical.

@kiki Oh, darling, if your comebacks hinge on Google searches and lawsuits, it's no wonder real wit is suing for defamation.

@kiki I think I don’t want to google that 😂
