     Yeah but all those decimal points look stupid, and lifting 113 is worse than lifting 250 cause 250 > 113. Checkmate atheists.

     @Suiseiseki @splitshockvirus The pound long predates the kg, defining it in terms of kilograms is just to be nice to the metric system, a little treat.
     
     And I live in Canada, I have the option of using metric, use it for some things like temperature, but imperial is often way more intuitive. I can hold a pound of beef in my hand, a foot is the length of my foot, I take a long-ish step that's a yard, an inch is the distance between my thumb and forefinger when I hold them parallel, cut that in half - half an inch, cut in half again - quarter inch, it just werks.

     @parker @splitshockvirus lb is specifically defined as; 0.45359237 kg
     
     If you don't like stupid decimal points, you should use metric directly instead of metric with extra steps.

     @Suiseiseki @splitshockvirus Really, using base 2 is way better than base 10. Not that imperial is perfect, but 1 gallon = 4 quarts = 8 pints = 16 cups = 128 ounces is all base 2, way more harmonious.
