Not listing alternate units second, not converted on screen, not called “freedom units” and not hiding behind the excuse of “most our audience is in the US”

The difference between a meter and yard is less than that of a measured vs “eyeballed” yard and everybody knows what 0 C and 100 C are so the learning curve is also massively (by at least 50 kg) exaggerated
Most americans have exposure to the metric system but they don’t have the inherent understanding of being able to mentally visualize or feel the difference the way they do with imperial units, it legitimately took me finding a video by a Youtube Latin teacher to get a sense for how to mentally gauge temperature in centigrade.
So until Americans have been fully integrated into the metric system, “our audience is mostly american” is an entirely valid excuse for content creators who want their audience to be able to have a mental picture or scale or feeling of the dimension they’re giving information by.
How is this supposed to happen if you keep giving them the crutch of the existing system? At some point you need people to do as you did and actually learn the intuition.
Aus just did the switch by law, didn’t seem to be all that much of a grinding process for them, especially with people not making it a whole fucking thing where they constantly get ridiculed for using different units and turn it into a shitstorm where self appointed patriots get to turn it into a matter of national pride on the line over all those foreigners looking down their noses at them over it.
It’s not funny, it’s not helping, it’s just annoying, shut up.
