It's the weekend, so no shop talk. Give me the dumbest, most indefensible hill you will die on. Nothing about money or rankings.
Mine is not even close: the imperial system is nonsense and metric won this argument two centuries ago. Twelve inches to a foot, three feet to a yard, 1,760 yards to a mile, sixteen ounces to a pound. Who hurt you. Even the British invented it and then quietly backed away like it was an ex, while metric is just base ten the whole way down, because someone actually sat and thought about it for five minutes.
And before the "but Fahrenheit is better for weather" crowd warms up: naming 0 and 100 after brine and roughly a fever is not the flex you think it is.
Your turn. The pettier and more unhinged the better, bonus points if it ends a friendship in this thread.
