I love how everyone keeps saying this was an April Fool's joke yet the upload date doesn't say 1 April...

Lol. The first impression I had was that this was such a joke. The upload date couldn't prove me wrong either. Americas system uses smaller and more numbers for accuracy. Regardless of this video, I know metrics are easier to use in math, but I'm just so use and attached to our complicated system.

@devilpizza123 Kelvin and Celcius are the same scale just shifted apart by 273 degrees. An increase by 1C is also an increase by 1K.

We're already on our way...
Do you not see the km/h on your speedometer?
Do you not see the L and mL in nearly (if not all) every single bottle in America?
Do you not see that the # of km and km/h road signs are increasing?
Do you not see the scientists using metric?

Everyone will get used to it in about a year.

@mainchow10 i agree the metric system is over all simpler where everything is broken down into 1 10 100 and so on the american people me being one of them are just so familliar with our system that metric seems a little different but ill be glad when we switch it will make the world more efficient

@gyllback scientifically speaking kelvin makes more sense, however celsius is just more convinient because we are familiar with it already, americans are familiar with farenheit and maybe celsius is a strange concept to them.
