  • In an apocalypse, the Imperial system of measurement is easier to reestablish than the metric system

    How would you measure one feet more accurately than one meter without any measurement tool? You might say you could, but how can you prove that your “feet” measurement is more accurate than my “meter” measurement? Or one kilo vs one pound? You couldn’t. You would have to start with a brand new system either way.

    And establishing a “new metric” system would be much easier, because everything is pretty just multiples of 10.
