With how adamant the US people are about their imperial system, there's something deeply hilarious about an american tv show reverting to metric because it'll be easier to calculate the experimental results...

Canadian here. Love the metric system; definitely easier. However, I find myself dealing with the imperial system when doing renovations. Luckily, I'm fluent with both systems.

Now i love mythbusters, i really do. But sometimes it is hilarious on accident. „Let‘s do scale testing to come up with an equation of what materials to use and how to build this thing“. Now, i‘m not an… well i actually am an engineer and what you are looking for here is a book on entrance level physics, a book on material science, a book on machine elements and a book on technical mechanics. And what you will find is that all said equations exist. I know right, crazy 😂

@@jordancochran7979 The US/Mexico border and immigrants there usually comes with a LOT of racist implications. So they likely didn't want to deal with that so they just switched it to Canada as that is more white.
