It's good you're able to talk sanely about it.

But I don't understand the anger around the subject at all.

It's simply a subject of personal autonomy and body integrity.

Imagine being a grown man or just a teenager and being forced to perform that operation without your consent nor any explanation (as it's mostly useless out of social norms and potentially harmful). I guess you'd be furious, at least.

That's it.

You're dreaming a bit too much there, sorry.

You can bet genetic engineering has reached a level where you can sterilize your whole army without a concern.

So soldiers fucking like rabbits ? Maybe. All genders ? Maybe, we have no idea whether there were women onboard. BUt did they get pregnant ? Why bother ?

14$ per month looks pretty expensive.

There are "something" for a lot of things that are not in metrics.

Like tire sizes. My bow's power is measured in pounds (and I should use inches there too normally. I don't bother.) Screen sizes are in inches I think...

95% work in metrics. But there is always a little stuff in some weird units.

Yes, only places where it is mixed is the anglosaxony... try to open to the world.

I use pounds because I do archery, where my bow's power is measured with that unit, which I translate as 1/2 a kg. I don't care that it's inaccurate.

There are also inches (I think) for Tv and computer screens, which is shitty.

But no one else uses imperial.

I worked with croncrete blocks (prefabricated building elements) some years ago and I was all the time making fast calculations of sizes and weight and I cannot imagine making that in imperial (admittedly because I am not used, but in present case it would just have been massively impractical)

The vast majority of the world does not use imperial units.
