And why don't they use pounds?

And use cm for height? WTF

They need to adapt to the superior versions.

I don't like how big a meter is followed by how small a centimeter and what a big word it is. Metric feels clumsy

That would explain why so many Colombian narcos use submarines for their drug trades these days.
Shit is getting so advance that the FARC is like 40 years behind in technology

Why does America use only two units of currency(dollars, cents) with an unintuitive x100 rate?

The old English had the right idea with their pounds, shillings, guineas, crowns, florins and pennies. That was a perfect system and those darn revolutionaries ruined it all when they broke away from Britain.

Smh stupid Americans dumbing their economy down

It's funny, because the seconds/minutes/hours/days/months/years system is as equally as unintuitive as the imperial system is, but Europeans don't seem to have any problem using it.

a cube with 1 decimeter sides, can hold 1 liter, which if filled with water, weighs 1 kilogram.

how much work does it take to do that same calcuation in pounds, foot and hogsheads or whatever you're using toda?

As an American, it makes far more sense for freezing/melting point of water to be 0C as opposed to the random 32F.

Its not random. 0F is the freezing point of saltwater brine. 0C is the freezing point of water, and 100C is the boiling point of water, arbitrarily made 100. Celcius is just 2 arbitrary points on a scale between 0 and 100. Once that connection is made, the rest of the known temperatures follow that scale.
