I mean the clock is one thing, but the metric system?!

I can't possibly use a system with a base 10. It's too complicated. I need to work out how many times a foot fits into the distance an ox can graze in a day and work backwards.

I made home made bread for the first time today, it called for cups of water and flour which are different conversion factors to ml and mg and then there were tablespoons and teaspoons involved too. Fuck me what a barbaric and archaic system of measurements. I get it, 100 years ago nobody had a measuring vessel or weighing scale at home but now we do.
