This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

US uses both and is capable of conversion. It is unfortunate, but saying it doesn't know powers of ten is pretty condescending.

I said (or at least meant) that imperial doesn't use powers of ten like metrkc

Word. "The us doesn't know what powers of 10 are" just didn't convey that clearly.

We're stuck with this shit for now, and one of the few positive things is that it forces you to understand both the conversions and power of 10 is cake compared to understanding both and converting.
