    That’s how I quit.

    Woke up one morning and didn’t want a cigarette.

    Now they’re basically sitting on the shelf with my warhammer stuff, my armada gear, boxing gloves, golf clubs, piles of video games etc.

    I wish i could stick a hobby haha except smoking.









  • Aussiemandeus@aussie.zonetoMemes@lemmy.mlWhy still using the imperial system?

    Divide a metre by 4 and you get 0.25 meters or 25cm

    Dived a foot by 4 you get 3 inches.

    Dived a yard by 4 you get 9inches

    Metric here wins in my opinion.

    Now let’s go by 3

    1m by 3 is yes 33.3r not great but 1m is 100cm and that’s how it is.

    1ft by 3 is 4 inches. Sure looks great now.

    Except size resolution is far greater in metric in simple forms

    Every inch is 2.54 cm obviously they dont round up nicely.

    Once we have to go smaller than an inch we need 15/16s of a inch, smaller then a cm we drop down to mm.

    10mm makes a cm.

    In super practical terms i need a spanner, 16mm is to big, i get the 15 next.

    5/8 is to big what do i get next?

    (I know the answer)

    Also another argument is well whats if you need half a mm etc we just use 0.5m or 0.7mm etc

    Very small sizes for most everyone day to day.

    Sure it’s not great breaking it too 0.whatever, but metric does it so much smaller as imperial made that jump to incorporate a size smaller then an inch.

    1/4 inch is just 0.25 inches
