I love the metric system and think we should all use it, but 12 (inches in a foot) and 16 (ounces in a pound) both have more factors than 10.
I still think metric is the best system, but I wish our ancestors had used base 12 counting so we could all use a base 12 metric system and everyone’s life would be better.
Fractions work with metric too you know.
Metric weights for things like meat is basically always expressed in grams here in the EU. Using fractions is pretty pointless.
But you don’t need them since the units already neatly divide. You don’t use a quarter kilo, you’d just say 250 gram.
Ignoring that where I live the weight of the burger isn’t part of the name in the first place. They are just called “royal”.
We have that too. The “Big” Mac.
You mean the Royale with Cheese, right?
Different burger.
No shit? You are just being argumentative now.
Naming a different burger was hardly an argument, I just explained it to you in case you accidently mixed them up.
I was so sure you guys were gonna go off on a Pulp Fiction tangent.

I’ll have the 0.333333333333333… Kg burger.
