minus-squareebolapie@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·5 days agoWe use both. Body weight is in pounds, but nutrition is in grams. In general we use metric more for smaller, more precise weights and imperial for everything else. I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone measure anything except cocaine in kilograms.
minus-squareglitchdx@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·4 days agoWeight is in pounds. Only pounds. don’t ask me how much a gram or a ton is. Volume, though, I still remember “Gallon Man” from 1st grade. 2 cups in a pint 2 pints in a quart 4 quarts in a gallon What’s after gallons? not a clue.
