Bartender, I'd like 0,473176 liters of beer

I dunno you just say "I'll have XYZ beer"

And it's usually in a very large glass. A place near me has pitchers of PBR for $5.

1.5*

it's 40 or 60 oz, they are all in us imperial units

So how do you specify coordinates?

(4,2, 8,3)
try writing that out on paper

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the 328.084 Feet Dash.

48* or 60
3 pints or 3 and 3/4 pints

The meter isn't arbitrary. The pendulum with a period of 2s is 1m long.

Why not 1s? Or 3s? Or 4s?
Completely arbitrary

If the period is 2s, it means it will take 1s from one end to the other.

And if it's 1, it took 0.5
And if it's 3, it took 1.5
And if it's 4, it took 2
What's your point?

you have to order a "demi" to get a small beer. otherwise you are getting a huge one.

(4,2;8,3)

If the conversion factor is 1, that's hardly arbitrary.

Why 1? Why not 2? Or 3? Or 4?
Why base it on a pendulum and not something else?
It's complete arbitrary.

>0.473176L
>a pint
disgusting

just order a legal cup

>legal cup
We use "customary cup" you brainlet
2 cups = 1 pint

These threads are so wearying. Yes the initial length/time/etc choice is arbitrary. Inherently a cm has no advantage over an inch. The advantage comes when the entire system of units is standardized such that all conversion factors are 1, 10, 100, etc.

Converting from grains to tons to psi to BTU is a pain in the ass. SI system has streamlined everything.

A German pint is a half litre
An imperial pint is a bit more but idk exact
That is a yank pint since half litre is too much

They get a big pitcher of bud lite with lots of watery ice and lemons that they drink

ounces

Yeah because my foot is just like your foot, dumbass.

If mutts could into metric they would become unstoppable.

Fuck off Based Yank

chicano trash

Nobody would say that but you know that milliliters is a thing, right?

473 ml

If the US uses imperial units then why don't they use the imperial pint?

>I'll have XYZ beer
what does tennis has to do with this?

>I would like 473176ml of beer

Well obviously goblin aztec feet are gonna be smaller.

*473.176 ml

This is what metricucks will never understand. Their universal system of internally consistent measures can not be used universally. The Imperial system uses different measures to measure different things. It is not internally consistent, but it works BETTER.

sick of americans stealing my posts

>not wanting 473.176 liters of beer
Fag

>,

Turn off the proxy, faggot.

In my country the exact volume varies from state to state but you generally order beer in pots, schooners, pints or jugs.

>Tiny American """pints"""

>more anglo than canada
yesssssssssssssss

I though a pint was around 600ml, that's what we usually get around here

568 I think

The meter is not arbitrary. it is the distance light travels in 1/299792458 second.

Yeah, it also used to be a fraction of the distance from the North Pole to the equator (that they got wrong anyway). It's no less arbitrary than a foot.

But I wear a size 12 shoe and I can actually walk around accurately measuring things with my feet

>using commas for decimal points
That's so fucking retarded.

8.5 is eight point five. It's a number.
8,5 is a coordinate 8x,5y

>tfw my foot is exactly 12 inches long
Feels good being a unit of measurement

>not asking your bartender for half a gigabarn-lightyear

/sci/ here, you fuckers are never going to make it.

>I'll take a gigajoule of cider pls

come back to me with something with units of volume (that's length^3)

I'll take a triple double of bourbon

>sub 0,5l "pint"

Why are Americans such pintlets anyway?

Nobody talks to his barkeep like that. Hell, nobody uses such fine units unless they're measuring something.
Try harder.

yeah we use British pints which are a good size. Unless you live in *delaide

do you also order them in droopers, wasoolootoos, and gurunnaywurrabaroos?

i use ' desu

I assume for discussion that you wrote that unironically, and so had total unawareness of the stupidity of not rounding that garbage off to 300 000 000 for muh historical reasons.

Arbitrariness heaped upon arbitrariness, leaf blowers are useful instruments for clearly away benign nonsense.

So a pint in other words. What do they use??

we just say small-medium-large beer here

>The imperial inch is defined as 0.0254 metres (2.54 centimetres or 25.4 millimetres).

Is the inch arbitrary?

No. If you order a drooper you're going to get a shot of vodka mixed with Funnelweb venom.

>How do you order beer in America?
"A glas of water, please"

A glass of piss, more like.
