The Ancient History Thread Off Topic Homosexuality Debate.

I hear that's why america's adopting the system. To more accurately determine the gayness of a person. Measuring gay in feet is too hard you see.

I consider myself 100% straight. I have zero attraction toward men but I find big penises sort of attractive.

I love women so much I grow a little jealous of their looks. I dress up in women's lingerie and jack off while watching blowjob porn while imagining myself as the girl.

I still don't find men attractive though. Anyone feel like this?

Of course, but they're not as integral as they are with the imperial system. Five and a half metres, three and a quarter centimetres, a litre and a third etc. People use them all the time when speaking, when it's not important to be very accurate. We would only use common fractions though, (halves, thirds, quarters, occasionally fifths and tenths) and only because it's easier for most people to visualise, all other times we will change units.

Seems a very small price to pay. You really only need to know millimetre, centimetre, metre and kilometre. With weights, you only need to know gram and kilogram. Volume, only litre and millilitre. Cent=100, centimetre=1/100 of a metre; milli=1/1000 of a metre, 1/1000 of a litre, 1/1000 of a gram. Kilo=1000, kilogram=1000 grams, kilometre=1000 metres. The other prefixes are used much less often.

A very handy result of the metric system.

With the imperial system, how do you accurately measure/quantify stuff that's less than an inch? Standard lined paper is exactly 8mm per line, how would you express that in imperial? How do you accurately and precisely measure the length of anything at all, if it falls between inches or feet? Say if there was a thing that was exactly a metre, but you didn't know that, nor anything about the metric system. You only had an imperial tape measure. How long would it be? More than 39 inches, but only about a third of an inch more. But for many things, 39 1/3 inches is not accurate enough. Besides, you're constantly judging, and that allows for significant human error. Someone might think it looks more like 39 1/4 inches.

Well anything less than an inch, we use fractions or just centimeters.

You are the straightest person I know, ever.

I think we should break this off into another thread called "The Off Topic Ancient History Homosexuality Off-topic survival/measurement thread"

Never before has something got so off topic.

I was inclined to take your word for it. The key word there was "was". After following that up with this:

I'm not so sure.

lazerBar is straighter then straight, like an arrow man.

Arrow man. Arrow man. He does everything an arrow man does.

No like man, not like as in arrow man but like man when you put it in the end of sentence to advocate attention to it or that you are stoned.

Then you add a comma

ex: Hes an arrow , man.

Fuck commas.

Yes please.

I, disagree.

Only a true heterosexual would do that.

Indeed.

Oh the irony!
