I feel like the US refuses to adopt the Metric System out of spite at this point
All US measurements are defined by US law in the Metric system (eg an inch is exactly 2.54 centimeters by US law).
We adopted Metric in secret. That way everybody was happy. Scientists could science and convert figures easily, rednecks wouldn’t feel like they’re bowing to France, and the government could feel good for once for coming up with a solution that didn’t make anything worse.
Except for that part where at least one spacecraft violently self-destructed because half of the dev team misinterpreted metric for imperial, and the other half misinterpreted imperial for metric
Eh, these things happen. To everybody. (Although they really should have labelled their units, that’s just common sense regardless of which system you’re using!)

@dinkywitch made me think of this GAH
FLIRT WITH THE FUCKING PRESIDENT
(via 6543263674857960-deactivated202)
if your boyfriend isn’t strong enough to pick you up and pin you against the wall, you have a girlfriend.
……..what
if your boyfriend doesn’t suplex you on sight he aint a man
if your boyfriend can’t catapult you across the room like a boomerang he a cactus
if he don’t powerslam you for breakfast he a herb
if he cant javelin toss you through a closed window hes a twig
If he can’t uppercut you into the ceiling, he’s a sunflower
hexcrow asked: If you're yangry and you know it, clap your hand
I suppose you could say that question was rather disarming.
The point is she’s still with us. In one way or another.
